PM Tusk on Epstein: it is very likely that this was a planned operation by the Russian KGB.
More and more leads are pointing to suspicions that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by Russian intelligence services.
Of course.
DHS lied again.
Right after they murdered Renee Good, they shot a young couple in Portland.
Then lied about it.
They were *not* gang members.
And she wasn’t “involved” in a shooting, she was a victim of sexual assault.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago
The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...
🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.
Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

WATCH— @gallego.senate.gov : “Let’s say Trump wins that lawsuit… where would that $10 BILLION come from?”
BESSENT: “Treasury.”
SEN. GALLEGO: “So, taxpayers.”
BESSENT: “Yes.”
wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

This is a good start from Democratic leadership with demands that would halt the regime’s terror campaign and protect our communities.
But we need to know where Schumer and Jeffries stand on DHS funding levels. ICE and CBP are already flush with cash — what are Democrats going to do about that?
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE
Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country
Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed
We must rein in ICE
Here’s what we're demanding:
Anti-woke, worse—a lot worse, tbh—than woke.
“The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a ‘racist.’”
mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/m...
Trump lost the popular vote by 2.8 million votes, but won the Electoral College thanks to 77,000 votes in three key states, so what he's alleging here would be a world-historically incompetent massive conspiracy.
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"
The problem of ICE/CBP reform is we have a monster rampaging through our democracy and are trying to restrict *which* cities it can pillage and *how many* civilians it can eat. The problem isn’t the restrictions on the monster; the problem is the monster. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-ways-t...
Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.
The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"
Amid the debate about whether bodycams do or do not add to accountability, @unraveledpress.com just IDed a particularly abuse CBP officer, Michael Sveum, by matching his phone lock screen, as seen in bodycam, to a 2021 tweet.
🤣

“Our civil society will never recover if it can’t mobilize against an autocrat who tried to shatter the bedrock of American democracy. Our democracy is in grave danger, and it’s long past time to say so.”

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.
This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.
An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

A Manhattan judge has said a $10 million workplace harassment claim in which Rudy Giuliani stands accused of "demanding" sex from an employee will move forward to discovery.
Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.
The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.
How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We worked hard on getting rid of the Johnson Amendment. You can say anything you can. Now, if you do say something bad about Trump, I will change my mind and I will have your tax exempt status immediately revoked."
"These protestations—he isn’t involved in his administration’s election-meddling efforts and the DNI was there because foreign actors were involved in the Great Fulton County Rigged Election of 2020—ring hollow...Whatever’s going on, you can bet it’s sinister." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists

"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. CBP’s misconduct scandal is so long-running that today it would be old enough to drink."

More to come on this; the rule makes a number of other changes to the Board of Immigration Appeals process (such that it will exist should this rule go into effect in 30 days without a court order blocking it). But top line; it's quite bad! public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-02326.pdf
I grew up with the Washington Post, wrote editorials for the Washington Post and published a column there for more than 15 years. To watch its owners destroy it, seemingly deliberately, in just a year and a half is devastating.
🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.
The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation
If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"
NEW: It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents.
Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable when they violate the Constitution and the law.
I repost @vermontgmg.bsky.social - journalist and historian - *a lot* so shout out to his excellent reporting and thoughtful analysis. You should follow him here and subscribe to his journal, Doomsday Scenario.

2/ Justice Kavanaugh's logic (in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo):
"If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter."
Sworn affidavits show how, on the ground, this is simply not how it plays out with ICE.
We just published database: @aclu.org plaintiffs' sworn declarations of ICE enforcement actions in Minnesota

A big lesson here for Justice Kavanaugh. I believe he'll get it

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.
NEW: The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today.
"I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."
Law Dork:
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
I just read the declaration that Kira Kelley asked J. Blackwell to consider.
This immigrant describes being
-unlawfully arrested
-taken from one overcrowded & filthy prison to another over 19 days
-held incommunicado
& ICE never telling him a court ordered his release
He describes an American gulag

There's been lots of attention on 1 particular inexperienced & untrained govt lawyer
But I want to give a shout-out to Kira Kelley,
climatedefenseproject.org/profile/kira...,
who focused on ICE's horrific treatment of an immigrant prisoner -- all occurring *after* the court had ordered him released
