It’s very telling that Ghislaine Maxwell was happy to sit down with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche for 2 days & answer his pathetic questions in exchange for special treatment, but she will refuse to answer all questions from anyone else including Congress.

La verdadera historia detrás de “la primera terapia efectiva contra el cáncer de páncreas” de Mariano Barbacid La empresa del bioquímico, Vega Oncotargets, ha rebajado su eslogan después de las falsas expectativas generadas por el anuncio de un prometedor experimento con 45 ratones ‘curados’

"Más de un centenar de personas con cáncer de páncreas han escrito al CNIO para pedir ayuda a Mariano Barbacid. Incluso algunos enfermos han acudido a la puerta de la institución. El bioquímico divulgó sus resultados en El Hormiguero. Pablo Motos proclamó: “Es un milagro” elpais.com/ciencia/2026...

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t.

There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.

Two-page image of a formal letter on U.S. House of Representatives letterhead, dated February 8, 2026, addressed to Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The letter states that Ghislaine Maxwell plans to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination at an upcoming House Oversight deposition and criticizes her intent to do so on a blanket basis rather than question by question. It notes her prior meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and requests clarity on whether she will invoke the Fifth Amendment in response to specific questions.

Page one lists six detailed questions concerning alleged co-conspirators in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minors, the lack of indictments, Maxwell’s knowledge of prosecutorial decisions, any role involving President Donald Trump, discussions of a potential presidential pardon in exchange for silence, and any client lists or records maintained by Maxwell or Epstein.

Page two adds a seventh question asking Maxwell to identify any foreign governments or intelligence services, including those linked to Russia or Israel, with which Epstein allegedly shared information or acted on behalf of. The letter asks that this document be entered into the official record at the start of the deposition and closes with a formal sign-off and signature from Congressman Ro Khanna, Member of Congress, U.S. House of Representatives.

(Hi! My undergraduate studies were in Aztec and Maya — cool, I know. I stumbled into it — but the language uses « tl » at the end so I noticed the typo right away. The mountain is Popocatépetl. « Pelt » is easier in English but the language uses « petl ».

But he makes more money by handing the figurative severed head of the Washington Post to the administration on a platter. A billionaire oligarch shill always choose profit.

This week at Democracy Docket: Trump wants to ‘take over’ voting, while GOPers unveil a massive new suppression measure Steve Bannon and Mike Johnson welcomed Trump's comments about taking control of elections. And a new Republican anti-voting bill could disenfranchise millions.

President Donald Trump kicked off the week with one of his clearest statements yet that, with polls looking bad for the GOP, he wants to take control of this year’s elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The geniuses over at the Washington Post just fired 300 journalists because they alienated their audience in 2024 and 2025. Yet, they are still at it!

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.

This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.
