AG Pam Bondi with Keith Frankel.

He's in the Trump-Epstein files 400 times, and talked with Epstein about "body boxes" in 2010. He is CEO of Vitaquest, & his family runs a "children's home" that "rescues" children from Ukraine. The home is referenced as being a hot bed for child trafficking.

👊⚠️ Such an important and well-synthesized take on Thiel, Epstein and the tech broligharchs leveraging the end-times & dystopian double-speak to destroy our freedom and democracy. Thank you @davidfutrelle.bsky.social.
Thanks, as usual, for putting this in my feed @5gw.bsky.social.
💥 ⚠️Thiel (2009): “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” …he [later] argued that elites must use “esoteric” doublespeak to hide their true intentions from the masses who wouldn’t and shouldn’t understand the plans their natural-born leaders were making for them.

As Hakeem Jeffries sits in the minority of a GOP-controlled Washington, he is still haunted by a Republican gerrymandering gambit that he believes cost him the speaker’s gavel — and cost his party control of the House.

This time, he’s making sure Democrats fight back. https://cnn.it/3ZEmbQz

Rubio's speech in Munich warned of the "civilizational erasure" of Europe and the ills of "mass migration." He said the US aims to save European culture. And he pushed for more defense spending. Rubio hit these themes in a friendlier tone than Vance. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...
