Democracy is the way. Truth and justice matter.

Russia can end the war today by leaving Ukraine.

Less proud to be an American than I used to be. I really thought we were better than this.

DOJ's attempts to enlist loyalists to U.S. attorney’s offices drew a call to defund the agency entirely from National Review writer Andy McCarthy.

“If support for incumbent the president is now a condition of enforcing federal law, Congress should defund DOJ.”

Congress appropriated $257 million to renovate the Kennedy Center before Trump shut it down. Follow that money and see where it goes.

🚨Epstein introduced Melania to Donald.🚨

“The unnamed woman, a former model who worked as Epstein’s assistant for a year from 2005-06, made the claim in July 2019, three days after her old boss was arrested by the FBI. The 11-page, heavily redacted document was…uncovered on Monday.”
Epstein Assistant Told Feds He Introduced Melania to Trump, Files Reveal
The claim was made to agents and prosecutors before Epstein died—and it is a crime to lie to the feds.

This is legitimately the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in the New York Post, which is saying something. This makes their incessant astrological coverage seem studied and informative.

The raid is part of an ongoing investigation into X's algorithm for potential algorithmic bias. It expanded to include Grok after reports of deepfakes, explicit content, and data issues. X calls it an attack on free speech.

Trump: "I did call up President Putin and he's agreed -- they have the same cold wave that we do, maybe different because it's pretty far away, but it's the equivalent. And Ukraine is a very cold country, much colder than us. I asked him if he wouldn't shoot for one week and he's agreed to do it."

"Populist politics, online disinformation, cyber warfare, & cryptocurrency were all just scaffolding for his work as a financier and sex trafficker. A way to destabilize the global order, make connections with the world’s elites, and continue enriching himself and preying on vulnerable young girls."
I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

6/ Finally, when it comes to security - Trump's tepid and uncertain support for Ukraine, dubious commitment to NATO and general "not my monkeys/circus" approach all means he's visibly feeding arsenic to his most important hostage.

Europe increasingly doesn't think anything they do will rescue it.

5/ Trump's favourability rating in Europe being at a pretty low ebb in many countries massively increases the price for being seen to accomodate him one iota more than is necessary.

Doubly so when you can't count on him not to Truth out that he made you his bitch and that you deserved it.

1/ Trump may of course respond to this by freaking out and issuing all sorts of tariff threats.

However as with giving up Greenland I really don't think the EU can afford the precedent of a criminal investigation at the member state level being unwound through threats to tax US citizen purchases.

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”

Russian terror bombing of Ukraine continues. Ukraine's allies donate generators but not long range missiles to strike Russia's capacity to terrorize. Western media ignore the humanitarian disaster altogether.
Ukraine was rocked by a massive overnight Russian assault, with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles slamming into the country’s energy system.

Rescue and recovery operations are continuing across the country.

This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

Brad Karp, the chair of Paul Weiss, is referenced in many Epstein files.

New firm statement: "Mr. Karp attended two group dinners in New York City and had a small number of social interactions by email, all of which he regrets,"

This is an update from the statement issued by Karp in December.
