He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives

Washington Post Deputy Opinion Editor James Hohmann has a new anti-wealth tax video out today

The wealth tax would apply to ~938 billionaires, including Jeff Bezos, who last year announced new rules for the WaPo opinion section. Smart political spending.

There's definitely something to be said about which stories the big elite media outlets choose to put their energy into on the topic of trans issues.

This Epstein file document records the meeting Epstein arranged between Peter Thiel, a top US-UK-German intelligence contractors and Vitaly Churkin, top Russian diplomat. As we showed in the ZDF documentary Putins Helfer, Thiel was meticulously recruited by Russian intelligence over a period of more

Agents had initially said that two men โ€” Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis โ€“ assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say โ€œnewly discovered evidenceโ€ contradicts the officersโ€™ story.

Occupy Democrats post: "BREAKING: Kash Patel was just busted LYING TO CONGRESS in order to protect pedophiles!
Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna have successfully been able to view a slew of unredacted Epstein files, and they discovered that Trumpโ€™s disgraced and wildly incompetent FBI Director Kash Patel has been lying to Congess, under oath, in order to protect the other rich and powerful men who played major roles in the Epstein sex-trafficking ring. 
Thanks to pressure from Massie and Khanna, the DOJ reluctantly unredacted an FBI report naming Jewish billionaire Les Wexner, owner of Victoriaโ€™s Secret and notorious Epstein associate, as one of the co-conspirators in the sex-trafficking ring. 
โ€œThis is significant because Kash Patel testified to Congress that FBI had no evidence of other sex traffickers. This is FBIโ€™s own 2019 document listing Wexner as a coconspirator in child sex trafficking. It wasnโ€™t unredacted until tonight,โ€ said Khannaโ€™s partner-in-justice, Rep. Thomas Massie, on Twitter on February 10th. 
The two spent two hours on February 9th examining unredacted Epstein files and were shocked at what they saw.
โ€œMost of the unredacted files were redactedโ€”70 to 80 percent. Massie and I saw that there were six men who were coโ€‘conspirators and were being protected. Those names need to be made public. "
"Thereโ€™s no excuse for releasing survivorsโ€™ names while protecting these six men. There are probably more. In just two hours, we saw that these six men were being protected.โ€
Kash Patelโ€™s FBI is actively engaged in a cover-up on behalf of serial pedophiles and must be fired immediately โ€” and held accountable for his own role in protecting pedophiles."

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Why, given the reality of the role, should ICE officers be armed at all?

If you truly want to re-imagine ICE, itโ€™s not entirely clear why what is actually a civil matter โ€” immigration enforcement โ€” should be considered armed federal law enforcement at all? โ€” @vermontgmg.bsky.social

The high wouldnโ€™t last. Seahawks safety Julian Love soon intercepted a throw from New England quarterback Drake Maye, and the Patriots never recovered. In the end, Kane lost a bit less than $100,000 in bets that favored the Patriots.

โ€œWhat are you gonna do about it? You get very numb to these kinds of numbers,โ€ said Kane, who works out of his one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia.

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you โ€” however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:

"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005...

"Over the 20 years from 2005 to 2024 โ€” the last year numbers are available โ€” at least 4,913 CBP officers and Border Patrol agents have been arrested themselves"
