In New York City and it’s wild how many people are wearing fur coats.

Is this a thing now? I hope the fur is fake.

LFG!
Harry Enten stands beside a large studio screen displaying a poll graphic. The headline reads “Democrats who think of themselves as… Democratic Socialists,” with two figures shown: “All Dems under age 35 – 42%” in red and “All Dems – 33%” in black. The CNN logo and live broadcast styling are visible on the right side of the screen.

This Israeli-American academic had already been disgraced because a paper he published used falsified data. He has authored bestselling books, and even had an NBC show based on his life.

The best part is that his 2015 documentary is called “(Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies.”
Duke University officials announced last week it had closed three research centers, including the Center for Advanced Hindsight, run by business professor Dan Ariely, who is named hundreds of times in the Epstein files. A university spokesperson told The Duke Chronicle that the decision to close the center was unrelated to Ariely’s ties to Epstein. A few days earlier, Ariely wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper about his relationship with Epstein.

It only gets worse from there
“The Epstein Foundation had a long record of supporting various academic interests,” Hubbard told the Texan in an email statement. “I was not then and am not now aware of any evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was a ‘pedophile’ in the technical sense; his sexual preference appears to have been for young women aged 16-22, which would at most reflect partial ephebophilia. Although most of the women who were involved with him at that age retrospectively regret it, I am unaware of any evidence that the contacts were non-consensual at the time. Some were self-conscious sex workers who recruited others into his orbit and are now making cynical claims of victimization to cash in on his estate and business partners, as reported by Michael Tracey and other credible journalists.”

Hubbard taught at UT for nearly 33 years. His classes included Latin and Greek courses alongside classes about “Child and Adolescent Sexuality” and the “Mythology of Rape.” Hubbard was tenured in 1993 and left the University in 2021 after UT agreed to a $700,000 settlement with him. The agreement required that Hubbard drop lawsuits he had filed against UT students and retire immediately, according to the settlement document.

This spectacle was appropriate for his widow 11 days after his death last September, so I’d say no.

This is why I search for “Gaza” and “Palestine” in all new followers’ timelines. I don’t care how anti-ICE you are if you post dumbass shit like this.

I don’t trust any politicians anymore, but Ossoff’s messaging here is on point.
Tweet from @Acyn on 2/7/26: 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. If you’re Steve Bannon, how do you sell any of this? He’s literally closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros.

This is a big improvement over their past coverage of him. They are actually putting his latest act in context, as Mehdi Hasan has been begging them to do forever.
The clip was in line with Mr. Trump’s history of making degrading remarks about people of color, women and immigrants, and he has for years singled out the Obamas. Across Mr. Trump’s administration, racist images and slogans have become common on government websites and accounts, with the White House, Labor Department and Homeland Security Department all having promoted posts that echo white supremacist messaging.

Having both parties be so comfortable supporting the genocide in Gaza set the stage for these domestic horrors.

The reason the DRC has no billionaires and crushing poverty is because the Congo has been plundered by billionaires and their forbears for centuries. The land is rich with critical minerals and precious metals, but we shouldn’t expect this pro-oligarchy propagandist to spread that knowledge.
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) from an account named “March for Billionaires,” posted about 10 hours ago. The post reads: “Poverty is a serious issue that we care deeply about. But billionaires aren’t responsible for it. The DRC has no billionaires, yet 75% of its population lives in extreme poverty. We applaud billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who have saved millions of lives with their charity.” Below the text are engagement icons showing approximately 128 replies, 96 reposts, and 6 likes. Alt text: Screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) profile page for an account named “March for Billionaires.” The header image reads “March for Billionaires” in large text on a blue background. The profile picture is a blue circle with white quotation marks. The handle shown is “@marchforbillionaires.org.” The account shows 92 followers, 5 following, and 20 posts. The bio reads: “Billionaires get a lot of hate. But the average billionaire is someone who created a lot of wealth by making things people want.” A second line says: “Join us in celebrating billionaires’ contributions, Feb 7 in San Francisco. marchforbillionaires.org.” A blue “Follow” button and standard X interface icons are visible.

People like him actually think we’ve had some sort of open borders, (which I would love!). But the reality is we have had a cruel and punishing immigration system for decades, under both parties.
