New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had years-long business tie with sex offender The commerce secretary apparently still hasn't come clean on his connection with Epstein.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

I just got back from Whistler and overheard *so many* conversations from people all over the world about not going to the US. A Dane said β€œI was planning to go to Vegas this year but then the Greenland thing happened.” One Aussie said to another β€œI don’t want to wind up in an ICE concentration camp”

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.

UFCW 1518 has written to the Jim Pattison Group about the decision to sell a Pattison-owned warehouse for conversion into an ICE processing facility.

We stand firmly against practices that dehumanize people anywhere β€” including the harms reported by victims impacted by ICE.

A Pattison Company’s Possible Deal with ICE Brings Boycott Threats | The Tyee Trump’s immigration enforcement agency wants to buy a warehouse for a β€˜processing centre’ in Virginia.

I started contacting The Pattison Grp on Sunday and kept reaching out on Monday and I have to say

It's a little disappointing they didn't bother to respond.

I have included a response from Pattison Food Group to a complaint from Victoria resident @jstewgie.bsky.social thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...

I spoke to a woman who lives near this warehouse. The concern is that the plans for this facility mean that ICE is getting ready to come to her city (Richmond, Virginia). Allie Carpenter asked BC residents to help pressure the company to not go through with this sale. thetyee.ca/News/2026/01...
