White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Trump has no strategy to help the Iranian people build a legitimate state—in fact, he’s dismantling tools that could have helped promote civic engagement and build a united opposition in Iran, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/k99IcIzV
60% disapprove of Trump ahead of State of the Union, Post-ABC-Ipsos poll finds But Democrats have made little headway in persuading Americans that their party has better ideas or policies to offer. By Dan Balz and Scott Clement
#BrokenPost pitchbot: 60% of Americans can't stand Trump. Why that's bad for Democrats.
Newsom: He’s a weak president — and that weakness is now on display globally. The only card he had left was these tariffs.
His entire economic policy has been mass deportations — and that’s beginning to unravel. His broader economic policies have obviously been aided and embedded in these tariffs
U.K. action helps expose DOJ coverup:
Feb 7: Bondi DOJ memo: "We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."
Sept 16: Kash Patel testimony: "There is no credible information, none" that Epstein trafficked girls to other men.
Goldman: "Republicans have created distrust of our electoral system -- not based on evidence -- and then they're gonna say, 'Oh, we have to solve this mistrust we've created.' No. That's not how it works."
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

A strange find from the Epstein files:
A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."
Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

Frump gets so bent out of shape when anyone hits spot on, he is so insecure and literal that he has to try and name call back that he misses the point every time!
Turns out that #QAnon - yes, QAnon - was more right about the #EpsteinFiles than anyone admitted...but not about everything.
"Trump’s unhinged, hateful remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast don’t disgust his evangelical supporters because they share his seething cultural resentment and endless persecution complex. For them, his open contempt for their mutual enemies resonates more than a true sermon."
Ask not what happens to the economy if billionaires are held accountable for their crimes.
Ask what happens next if they are not.
My Trump-supporting cousin-in-law just texted my husband to say he encountered this Mother Jones on social media, read it, realized I wrote it, and told him to tell me I’m doing good work and to keep going.
Things are changing, y’all.

The problem for democracy is that it will not survive three more years of such a system. We cannot hold free and fair elections if judges blindly accept the word of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s minions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...
My father died 10 years ago today. I still miss him. He was a good man. He was a loving husband and father. He was loyal and kind to his friends. He contributed to his community. Ed Reich would have loathed Donald Trump. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-my-father-and-the
Is anyone else infuriated when they hear statements like, "We need to find out how much Trump knew about Epstein"?
"Knew about"?
Seriously?
If you cannot state the FACT that he was a child-raping ring-leader, I have no use for you or your performative concern.
"Knew about"?
Just fuck off.
One by one, the networks succumb, and who will get to the truth and tell US the real stories? How long will it take for the years of hiding and corruption to be exposed, and for justice to come to those who put themselves on the line, even risking their lives? Not CBS.

While Trump has spent a lifetime promoting his personal brand, what he is doing in his second term as president comes closer to building a cult of personality the likes of which has never been seen in American history. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/u...
The Democratic chief election officials of six states are denouncing two new voter suppression bills making their way through Congress — underscoring how the legislation would place a huge burden on voters and election administrators just as midterm election season kicks off.

What do the powerful people named in the Epstein files all have in common?
I hope people understand how it has been all leading up to this moment in history in so many ways. Think about how many huge sex abuse scandals have broken and the responses.
Epstein. Diddy. Nassar. Weinstein. Kavanaugh. Cosby. The Catholic Church. Clinton. Thomas. There are so many more.
It's hard to know if Trump really won the election or if it was a klandestine operation.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) on ABC this morning said, "This is the Epstein administration," and that President Trump is "still in with the Epstein class."
On whether he has confidence in Pam Bondi as attorney general: "I don’t think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi."
ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?
MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

This should be called the Epstein Presidency. Is there anyone in this regime that isn't in the files?
