Claudia Long, R.I.P. February 7, 1950 – February 11, 2026

thank you to the thousands of people who have posted, commented, private messaged, texted, and phoned to offer condolences over yesterday morning’s passing of my wife Claudia Long. I deeply regret that I can only reply to the smallest fraction of you, but I want you to know that ... [1/2]

Today’s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.

“Bondi Enables” by Steve Sack on The Art of Sack.

“[AG] Bondi’s testimony at Wednesday’s congressional hearing was nothing short of obscene.”

You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

The deal was simple:

Democracy for deregulation. The Republic for ROI.

American tech oligarchs took it without hesitation.

They are opportunists of the lowest order, willing to burn down the institutions that built them just to secure a slightly better quarterly report

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

It’s the Epstein Administration.

No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting.

From now on whenever someone asks me a question I don’t want to answer I’m just going to start talking about the Dow until they run out of time.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

People talking about terrible teachers and gender bias in STEM fields & I can remember when the anatomy teacher tried to keep a girl from going on a field trip to Chico State to view a cadaver. Her mom raised absolute hell & now that girl has a Ph.d in molecular biology and leads R&D.

Nice to know that the device can take out a slow moving balloon. Now try it against a more challenging target like a hypersonic missile.

We are doomed as a country.

Sure, child sex trafficking is bad.

But did you know the Dow is doing well?

Sounds like it’s time for you to move on. I don’t trust Google and refuse to use any of their products.

I know 1 thing for certain.
A Kamala Harris appointed AG would not start talking about stock numbers when asked about the Epstein files.

Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

How WA lawmakers are trying to regulate data centers • Washington State Standard Washington legislators advanced data center legislation out of the House Appropriations Committee Monday with two significant changes.

With data centers expected to become the largest source of electricity demand in the Pacific Northwest, Washington legislators are pressing ahead with a bill aimed at protecting the grid and offsetting potential hikes for utility ratepayers. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/02/11/h...

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.”

Works for me.

It's not surprising that Lutnik was a business associate of Epstein and is all over the Epstein files.
It's not surprising that he lied about it.
It is surprising that his lies were so detailed and well thought out.
And it is surprising that he didn't realize the truth would be known.

Absolutely
