"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.

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...

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE
