Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a βwalking skeletonβ and βdying from heartwormsβ when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. βShe lied,β Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. βMy little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.β The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.
This is some genuinely psycho shit...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Reader Contribution: America on the cusp: Phones vs Fascism
We are watching a US inflexion point, where citizen action is confronting state violence and hardening authoritarianism. Where will it lead?
America is approaching a genuine inflection point:
Phones, citizens and visibility on one side.
State power, fear and authoritarian drift on the other.
@claireaj.bsky.social brilliantly analyses where the US currently finds itself, and where we go from here.

Two of the reasons they give: it would encourage migration and because some of the help will be for children with at least one parent born outside the UK.

PARIS PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE JUDICIAL COURT
Paris, February 3, 2026
Press Release
A search is being carried out today at the French premises of the X platform, as part of the investigation opened in January 2025 by the cybercrime section of the Paris prosecutor's office, with the UNCyber unit of the gendarmerie and in the presence of Europol
In parallel, summonses for voluntary interviews on April 20, 2026, in Paris, were sent to Mr. Elon Musk and Ms.
Linda Yacarino, in their capacity as de facto and de jure managers of Platform X at the time of the events. Employees of Platform X are also summoned during the week of April 20-24, 2026, to be heard as witnesses. The voluntary interviews of the managers are intended to allow them to present their position on the events and, where applicable, the compliance measures envisaged.
The conduct of this investigation is, at this stage, part of a constructive approach, with the objective of ultimately ensuring Platform X's compliance with French law, insofar as it operates within the national territory
As a reminder, this investigation was opened following two reports received on January 12, 2025. On July 9, 2025, the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office entrusted the investigation to the Directorate General of the National Gendarmerie (DGGN). The investigation was expanded following further reports denouncing Grok's operations on the X platform, which led to the dissemination of Holocaust denial content and sexually explicit deepfakes.
The investigations concern the following criminal offenses:
β’ complicity in the possession of child pornography images of minors
β’ complicity in the organized distribution, offering, or making available of child pornography images of minors
β’ violation of the right to privacy (sexually explicit deepfakes)
β’ denial of crimes against humanity (Holocaust denial)
β’ fraudulent extraction of data from an automated data processing system by an organized group
β’ falsification of the operation of an automated β¦
