MAGA has literally repurposed the judicative branch to use as weapon against anyone opposing the regime. That's how democracy dies.
A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

BREAKING:
As the Supreme Court considers #Trump ’s justification of “emergency powers” to impose tariffs, he brags that he hiked tariffs on #Switzerland because the Swiss leader was mean to him.
That’s not an emergency.
SCOTUS must strike this down.

Thought:
The Mafia pales in comparison.
Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.

That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

#EU Epstein investigations:

Who knew? #Epstein operated globally under fake passport and name, so #EU countries definitely better start investigations on their own. Especially since Trump's DOJ is a cover up shop at best.
FYI: Epstein had a Austrian passport found in his safe, issued in 1980 with his picture and a different name and his place of residence being in Saudi Arabia. He used this passport many times with stamps of France, Spain, UK, and Saudi Arabia.

Good read on game plan to get Ukraine into the EU 👇

Also, finally talk about use of Article 7 against #Hungary (little Moscow).
The EU plans to bring Ukraine into the bloc before it has completed all reforms — with some capitals gauging support to remove Hungary's veto.

All of it signals a sense of urgency in Brussels amid fears Russia could try to derail Kyiv's accession.
