Some context… Bezos is killing the Post by choice, not by necessity…
Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.
Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost somewhere around $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year.
Of course, he wouldn't have to choose. He could do both because he's worth $250B, which is nearly the GDP of New Zealand.
But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.
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

www.politico.com/news/2026/02..."And even as we produce much excellent work, we too often write from one perspective, for one slice of the audience."
The fact that WaPo's executive editor wrote this today illustrates that its leadership still does not understand that they are entirely responsible for destroying the Post.
NEW: Senator Ed Markey just introduced a critical bill that would ban ICE and CBP from buying or using facial recognition technology to go after our communities.
Congress must pass the ICE Out of My Face Act and use their funding power to rein in these out-of-control agencies.

Whistleblower’s lawyer to Tulsi: “You have given us zero guidance… I will contact the senate committee re your conduct on Monday… I maintain top secret eligibility and have been routinely read into matters of national security…”
(From @AdamParkhomenko)
I wish I lived in a country where our elected officials in Congress had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, Anita Hill, or the Epstein survivors.
Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.
ICE must be abolished.
If Jeff Bezos had any strength of character he would pay someone to take the newspaper he's destroyed off his hands and contribute money to a trust to restore it.
Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public.
Not great. Really not great.

Heads are going to explode 💥
Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.
1/3
Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride
Undocumented immigrants alone saved $1.7 trillion.
2/3
Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void.
Here’s the Cato Institute report:

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.
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.
Jacob Frey: "The continued presence of 2,000 federal agents in a city that only has 600 police officers is still not deescalation"
💯
"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Detention facilities that are not licensed for daycare or to teach are not allowed to hold children longer than 20 days.
It’s likely this scheme is an attempt to hold children indefinitely.
Innocent children do not belong there. FULL🛑‼️

It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply.

Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US $, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.
Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205% of gross domestic product—nearly twice its 2023 level.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

THIS IS A REAL EMAIL ELON MUSK SENT TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN IN 2012...
... FOUR YEARS AFTER EPSTEIN WAS CONVICTED FOR CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE...
... SO MUCH FOR ELON'S STORY THAT HE "DECLINED INVITATIONS" TO THE ISLAND.
Location: near Tesla's flagship London store in Tottenham
#EpsteinClientListFelonElonWow: 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.
Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
Bannon wants ICE agents at polling locations.
Pay attention to the men clawing the hardest to hold onto power. They are the child rapists and sex traffickers named in the Trumpstein files.

As America's 250th anniversary approaches, the president wants to control the country's future by bulldozing its past.

You’ll notice that not one single reporter stood up for/defended CNN’s Kaitlan Collins as she was being verbally attacked by the orange felon in the bulldozed White House. They can’t even stand up for one of their own so there’s no hope of them ever standing up for democracy.
Every lawyer knows this man. He’s the one who loved to “play devil’s advocate” for rapists in crim and do a “thought experiment” about what if maybe Brown v Board was wrong actually in con law.
JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.
