Ellison: "It felt like we were being occupied by the federal govt, & I started returning to reading about the Boston Massacre. How did those Bostonians feel when a far away govt in England had imperial troops marching all over their city, harassing & abusing the citizenry. That's kind of how I felt"

Exactly. We’re TRYING to put limits on buying booze for public health/safety reasons whereas at least some of us think we should be LOWERING barriers to voting

Excellent piece. Voters think more politicians are more corrupt than they actually are, which means they don’t react as strongly to Trumps truly breathtaking corruption as they should.

Americans think everyone is corrupt
Voters have weird views about this, and progressive advocacy groups do a lot that’s counterproductive.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

"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.

Wait till they hear about the Epstein ties of the guy they’ve capitulated to!
Brad Karp, CEO of NY law firm Paul Weiss, resigned this week.
Paul Weiss is the firm that shamelessly capitulated to Trump, offering $40m in pro bono work. Karp was reportedly introduced to Trump by Bob Kraft. He subsequently contributed to Josh Kraft’s campaign. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/b...
