I’m shocked you still want to talk about Hunter Biden, yet here we are…
Rep. Balint: "Has the DOJ talked to Deputy Secretary Feinberg about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein?"

Bondi: "I'm shocked that you want to continue to talk about Epstein."

How many opportunities did I lose because men I encountered or worked with did (or didn't) think of me as someone they could get in bed? What was the point of a reporter willing to cover an active warzone if they were still laid off after bad decisions made by the paper's senior managers and owner?

At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."

The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.

Government-issued Real IDs and driver’s licenses aren’t proof of citizenship, and most people aren’t walking around with a passport.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

Bigoted boot-licker…
Already this morning the Speaker has said:

1. 6 Dem members of Congress should’ve been indicted for speaking.

2. Democrats are stealing elections everywhere.

3. Congress should completely surrender their tariff authority to Trump. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson: "Their policies are so unpopular -- they are refuted and repudiated at the ballot box over and over -- so they feel they gotta cheat. Frankly, that's it."

This was a very important vote tonight. Here's why.

For the past year Trump’s illegal tariffs have crushed our economic growth, hit American families with higher costs, killed the very manufacturing jobs we were told they would multiply, and alienated our closest allies. 1/
Republican rule vote FAILS.

Republican leaders just tried to use a procedural vote to continue their surrender of congressional powers to prevent Trump's abuse of tariff authorities.

Three Republicans, Reps. Massie, Bacon, and Kiley, joined all Democrats to block them.

He’s clueless.
I checked out realfood.gov, the new government website from Mike Tyson's Super Bowl ad.

It encourages people to use Grok to "get real answers about real food," yet Grok's advice conflicts with the administration's own nutrition messaging.

My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/rfk-jr...
RFK Jr. Says Americans Need More Protein. His Grok-Powered Food Website Disagrees
The site Realfood.gov uses Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot to dispense nutrition information—some of which contradicts the government’s new guidelines.

Mullin: "When you start talking judicial warrants -- it would be basically making every arrest, even if its a traffic stop, that's like making judicial warrants only possible to arrest somebody w/ a DUI. It's same concept as having judicial warrants for arresting someone entering country illegally"

So in addition to the Second Amendment, looks like the right is ceding the Castle Doctrine, too.

Rep Ro Khanna today said he saw instructions given by Trump to the FBI directing that they redact references to interactions with him in the testimony of Epstein victims. This would appear to be one of the passages that was supposed to have been redacted.

Data center developers and utilities can stop this onslaught of plans for new gas power plants and rely on affordable, available clean energy options instead, says Laurie Williams of @Sierraclub.org.
The Massive, Data Center-Driven Gas-Plant Buildout Threatens Affordability
​When our utility companies fail to build enough low-cost clean electricity and instead increase their reliance on expensive fossil fuel power plants—as many are doing in response to data center demand—electricity prices rise.
