- #WITAOD IS SO BACK, BABY!!!
- NEWS Elon Musk and others LOSE their bid to duck depositions in DOGE litigation. Judge doubts protections for "high-ranking government officials" for multiple reasons. It's unclear they ever had that status, and Musk "left government service." Doc buff.ly/uhpSOTz
- I think the D ask package on DHS is good and maybe just as important I think it indicates that Chuck thinks he can hold the caucus forever.
- Judge Rebecca Taibleson, finds her name in the Epstein files. Guess who she clerked for? Umhmm. Scalia.
- So there was just a very loud and sustained "Fuck ICE" chant during a pro wrestling show on live primetime television, if you wanna get a sense of the vibe shift. (One of the wrestlers, Brody King, is an outspoken prigressive and wore an "Abolish ICE" shirt at a Mexico show in June.)

- Marc Rowan, a billionaire private equity founder appointed by Donald Trump to help oversee Gaza's reconstruction, had multiple phone and email exchanges with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to newly released DOJ documents. Rowan denies any business relationship with Epstein
- Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event
- Hearing him loud and clear.
- This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
- One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.
- An excellent quote, if I say so myself, which I just did.
- there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.
- Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars. And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

- If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.
- You know, @seancasten.bsky.social is very good at this.
- This is the type of letter you write and make public when you’ve discovered that the CIA is up to no good and can’t be trusted—and you have no confidence the people in charge care.
- Wow: This appears to be a draft statement written by Ghislaine Maxwell in which she addresses allegations made against her and Prince Andrew by Virginia Giuffre. Maxwell appears to confirm that the photo is real and admits that Epstein committed crimes—contradicting her sworn testimony.
- Democrats now say Republicans have established a precedent when it comes to Congress' ability to subpoena and haul in past presidents and family members under threat of criminal charges — thanks to how Republicans threatened the Clintons — and they plan to use it against Trump.
- one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- under different circumstances this is congressional-inquiry level scandal
- Between Jeff Bezos' evisceration of The Washington Post, Bill Gates' appearance in the Epstein Files, and, you know, every single thing Elon Musk has done, at least we'll see the end of the Myth of the Benevolent Billionaires.
- NEW: A rupture between DOJ and ICE has emerged in Minnesota, where overwhelmed prosecutors keep dropping the ball — and saying ICE won't return their messages. The crisis has had real-world consequences for migrants illegally detained w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
- If ICE agents didn't wear masks, they would be FAMOUS for all the wrong reasons. So if you wanna see mass resignations, prevent them from wearing masks. That said, abolishing ICE is the only way to truly prevent more violence, harm and murder.
- It's a fair inference from many of the documents released in the Epstein files that Epstein, acting for the Kremlin, brokered the move from the techbros out of neutrality in 2016/2020 into endorsement and support for Trump in 2024. And put them behind a half-dozen other Kremlin-supported populists
- Kind of amazed she had it turned on? I only turn it on when I'm crossing borders or am visiting a country controlled by a repressive regime ahhh shit
- New from 404 Media: the FBI has been unable to get into the iPhone of raided Washington Post journalist because the phone had Lockdown Mode enabled. Apple markets Lockdown Mode mostly to stop spyware like NSO. Here, a real world example of it stopping access too www.404media.co/fbi-couldnt-...
- Miller clumsily deployed an army of masked goons to commit crimes across the nation and, in the process, destroyed Trump's best-polling issue and sent his approval plummeting to an all-time low. But sure, this was a "rare misstep" and not part of a larger pattern of incompetence
- Stephen Miller called Alex Pretti a “domestic terrorist” after the VA nurse was killed by federal agents, a rare misstep for Miller, the White House aide stoking President Trump’s boundary-pushing impulses. 🔗: on.wsj.com/49XmNXz

- Reporter: There’s a call from Epstein survivors to have Ghislaine Maxwell moved to a high security prison. What do you want to have happen? Melania Trump: We are here to celebrate the release and the life of those two incredible people. Let’s honor that.
- Reuters: U.S. SUPREME COURT ALLOWS CALIFORNIA CONGRESSIONAL MAP INTENDED TO BENEFIT DEMOCRATS
- After Trump tells NBC News he could maybe use a "softer touch" on immigration, we immediately get the "different tone" narrative from CNN. Brianna Keilar: "A change of tone for the president. Softer touch." David Chalian: "He acknowledged learning something that this requires a softer touch."

- "Trump likely to lose latest fight over felony convictions" After roughly three hours of oral arguments, Judge Hellerstein seems no more likely to transfer Trump's criminal case to federal court than he was the last two times he rejected similar efforts. My recap at All Rise News buff.ly/JpC0Bge
- They are trying to gloss over the pedo president's crimes and hide the truth about his past.
- Well thought-out summary.
