"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

For those who don't know, Luttig was once considered the intellectual heir to Scalia. He was about as conservative a judge as you could find...
Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.

Q:  "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"

Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."

He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement.

And right now media is ignoring.

This is quite a quote from @rickhasen.bsky.social on possibility of Trump seizing ballot boxes:

"It may take people in the streets protecting the offices where ballots are being tabulated. The Brooks Brothers riot would look very tame compared to what we might see in 2026."

More here:
Here's @rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now.

It's harrowing stuff:

Opening yet another Overton Window. 🪟
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Trump is working hard to set/reinforce a frame that connects immigration, financial fraud, & election fraud. He and the right wing propaganda machine will keep producing “evidence” to fit this frame, then use it to justify attempts to suppress voters, kick voters off rolls, and delegitimize results.
Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."

1. Trump can’t federalize elections and he knows that.

2. That doesn’t mean he won’t try, so what are WE going to do when he inevitably does?

Trump knows the Republicans are heading to defeat in 2026, he also knows it will be a catastrophe for him if this happens. Therefore, he will try to corrupt the election. It’s simple logic. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
Trump says Republicans should ‘nationalize’ elections
The comments come less than a week after the FBI raided an elections facility in Georgia.

Abu Dhabi poured a secret $500 million into Trump’s company.

Then Abu Dhabi got the highest end AI chips that it had coveted (which could then go to China).

& the Trumps took steps to try to cover it up.

This should rank among the greatest US scandals ever

How thoughtful of Howard Lutnick to bring a bunch of children to Epstein Island. They’ll have lots of other kids to play with.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

Dems should call out Republican support for Trump's fascism project. It's not just Trump. The entire GOP is corrupt to the core.

Let's not permit them to act like victims down the road, or to rehabilitate their party image.

The Republican Party is a fascist party.
This is also a reminder that Trump's authoritarian corruption is heavily enabled by the GOP Congress. This prosecution should be scrutinized by the judiciary committees. The GOP won't do this.

But a Dem House can. And Dems should say clearly that this is coming:

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.
