Homeland Security Hires Labor Dept. Aide Whose Posts Raised Alarms

DHS is a magnet for Nazis across the admin. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Since the Department of Justice released more than 3 million emails last month, powerful individuals have had their dealings with Epstein scrutinized. But the Tisch-Epstein dynamic — revealed in dozens of unguarded emails exchanged between them in 2013 - stands out for how singularly focused it was on Epstein's ability to connect Tisch with young women. There was scant talk about philanthropy or business opportunities present in many other Epstein relationships. Rather, Epstein, a convicted sex offender who was charged with sex trafficking before his ), merely plucked women trom his orbit and delivered them to Tisch.

Good reporting by @theathletic.com on Steve Tisch’s relationship with Epstein

Trump Administration Targets Major LGBTQ+ Health Care Centers In Latest Legal Attack The administration has referred four clinics: Callen-Lorde, LA LGBT Center, The Institute for Family Health, and Whitman-Walker for investigation.

The Trump administration has announced it is targeting major LGBTQ+ healthcare centers, threatening to shut them down unless they stop providing trans youth care.

It appears to violate, at least in spirit, a court order in Oregon stopping them from doing this.

Apple faces new tensions with Trump administration US regulator issues warning to iPhone maker about its News platform following controversy over Super Bowl half-time show

The FTC has sent a letter to Tim Cook because Apple News is too woke and needs to include more right wing content.

This would sound silly even for The Onion but it’s our current reality.

On the one hand, this is yet another horrific development.

On the other hand, fuck you Tim Cook. You're the latest to discover that selling your soul to Donald Trump will gain you nothing.

Professors in the Epstein Files Begin to Face Consequences Several faculty members who spoke regularly with Epstein have been stripped of their titles or teaching duties.

Shout out to the student journalists that have tirelessly covered their professors' ties to Epstein. My job would be much harder without them. See thread for some of my favorite recent student news pieces.

I have written to Wes Streeting, following his private admission that Israel has been committing war crimes.

History will shame those who could have spoken out against the genocide in Gaza, but chose to serve in governments that aided and abetted it instead.

Trump Justice Department Poised to Preserve Ticketmaster Monopoly - The American Prospect Settlement talks on a monopolization case against Live Nation are under way, with Kellyanne Conway and other MAGA lobbyists seeking a sweetheart deal.

Tired: Getting mad at Pam Bondi for high school theater-level theatrics at a hearing
Wired: Getting mad at Pam Bondi for letting the Ticketmaster monopoly continue and settling the case that would break it up.
From me:

What Happened to Pam Bondi? (Nothing)

Did The Atlantic really write a story entitled "What Happened to Pam Bondi?" Nothing happened! She's always been willing to do anything for power. She fired the only prosecutors looking into foreclosure fraud on behalf of a campaign donor. She was an Amazon lobbyist!

Nearly a year ago, Zohran Mamdani confronted Trump “border czar” Tom Homan after ICE took Mahmoud Khalil.

Republicans targeted pro-Palestine students. Then, with no firm pushback, expanded their operations to what we see today.

Mamdani was among the few Democrats who immediately stood against it.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

All I'm saying here is that there's a strong air from white collar people like we're not supposed to be disrupted. That's for blue collar folks. But we're not special. We never have been. Just lucky. And eventually your luck runs out. Capitalism comes for everybody eventually.

There's a link between the AI disruption and the authoritarian political attacks on expertise. Highly educated white collar folks considered ourselves to be a powerful culture, on the basis of our expertise & credentials. But that's not where power comes from, and we're learning that the hard way.

Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024 The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
