The idea that anyone did not know about Epstein’s conviction as a sex abuser is absurd. Some people spurned his social approaches. Brown's reaction should have been everyone's. So should that of Melinda Gates, the now ex-wife of Bill Gates, who stepped into Epstein’s home once and immediately regretted it. Alas, their

BOROWITZ REPORT 2/3/26
King Charles Cancels US Visit and Will Send Andrew Instead

BOROWITZ REPORT 2/3/26 King Charles Cancels US Visit and Will Send Andrew Instead LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—King Charles III of the United Kingdom announced on Tuesday that he was cancelling his upcoming trip to the United States and would send his disgraced brother, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, in his place. Charles gave no reason for the abrupt cancellation, saying only that Andrew was a “better fit” for a visit to Donald J. Trump. “I’m sure they’ll have plenty to reminisce about,” Charles said. “And if they run out of activities, Trump can always give Andrew a Sharpie and put him to work redacting those bloody files.”

It's been a week and a half, and there is still a lot of snow and ice on the ground. I think I'm ready for spring now, but that's still a little ways away. Until then, I will soothe myself by looking at some spring greenery.

A vibrant green plant with jagged leaves sits in the foreground, illuminated against a dark, moody background of a forest stream. To the right, the thick, textured bark of an old tree frames the scene, while a moss-covered rock rests behind the central foliage. On the left, a small waterfall is captured with a soft, silky motion blur as it flows over dark stones. The overall composition highlights the contrast between the delicate, bright greenery and the rugged, damp elements of the woodland floor.

@hfinyow Texas seat….anazing overturn. Republican gerrymandering as actually turned counties purple instead of red….they really don’t get the temperature of the people, even in Texas, which BTW has more dems registered then republicans but there are the independents. James Telerico D , if he wins primary, will run vs US Senator Cornyn. Telerico is a Christian conservative but firmly separation church & state will appeal to sensible republicans

DEMOCRATS TAKE A TEXAS SENATE SEAT

Heather Cox Richardson 1/31/26 DEMOCRATS TAKE A TEXAS SENATE SEAT Tonight, voters flipped a seat in the Texas Senate from Republican to Democratic in a special election. Democrat Taylor Rehmet, an Air Force veteran and machinist, defeated right-wing Republican Leigh Wambsganss for da seat that Republicans have held since the early 1990s. Robert Downen of Texas Monthly noted that in the final days of the campaign, the Wambsganss campaign spent $310,000 while Rehmet spent nothing, and Daniel Nichanian of BoltsMag posted that overall, Wambsganss spent nearly $2.2 million more than Rehmet in the campaign. Both Texas governor Greg Abbott and Trump himself publicly supported Wambsganss. And yet, asG. Elliott Morrisof Strength in Numbers noted, voters flipped a district that Trump won in 2024 by 17 points to Rehmet, electing him by a 14.4-point margin. After removing the minor-party candidates in the vote, the swing from the Republican in 2024 was 32 points toward the Democrats. In Texas.

PRIVILEGED MEN AND WOMEN ABOVE THE LAW
DEATH, PHYSICAL ABUSE, INJURY

Heather Cox Richardson 1/31/26 PRIVILEGED MEN AND WOMEN ABOVE THE LAW DEATH, PHYSICAL ABUSE, INJURY The hierarchical system Miller embraces echoes the system championed by those like Hammond [Southern slave holder], who imagined themselves the nation’s true leaders who had the right to rule. They were not bound by the law, and they rejected the idea that those unwilling to recognize their superiority should have either economic or political power. The horrors of the Epstein files show a group of powerful and wealthy men and women who sexually assaulted children and showed no concern either for their crimes or that they might have to answer to the law. The public still does not know the extent of the horrors or the human-trafficking business in which Epstein and others were engaged. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told reporters yesterday that the Department of Justice was not releasing any item from the Epstein files that showed “death, physical abuse, or injury.” "You [know] the biggest problem with being friends with you?" Dr. Peter Attia wrote in an email to Epstein in response to an email with the subject line “Got a fresh shipment.” Attia answered his own question: “The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet | can't tell a soul.”

1858, Senator James Henry Hammond (D-SC), a wealthy enslaver[on slavery and women]

Heather Cox Richardson 1/31/26 1858, Senator James Henry Hammond (D-SC), a wealthy enslaver, Hammond was very clear about what he believed the world should look like. Black Americans should always be subordinate to white men, of course, but white women, too, were subordinate. They were made “to breed,” as “toy[s] for recreation,” or to bring men “wealth and position,” he had explained to his son in 1852. Hammond's promising early political career had been nearly derailed when he admitted that for two years he had sexually assaulted his four young nieces, the daughters of the powerful Wade Hampton Il (although he insisted he was being wronged because he should get credit for showing any restraint at all when faced with four such “lovely creatures”). If women and Black people were at the bottom of society, southern white men were an “aristocracy” by virtue of their descent from “the ancient cavaliers of Virginia...a race of men without fear and without reproach,” "dlike incapable of servility and selfishness.” By definition, whatever such leaders did was what was good for society, and any man who had not achieved that status was excluded because of his own failings or criminal inclinations.

Cheri Jacobus 5h- Democratic Senators need to use Morning Hour to read from the Epstein Files that describe what Trump did as he raped and beat underage girls. How they were forced to perform oral sex on him, how he hit them, parade them out for "auction”— naked". House Dems do the same with a bunch of One Minutes plus Special Orders. It will ALL be on C-SPAN. Promote it heavily in advance and it will be live-streamed everywhere and get a huge audience. It's crazy not to utilize this free resource! Newt built a House Majority and became Speaker doing this.

STEPHEN MILLER SUGGESTS BRING SLAVERY BACK

Heather Cox Richardson 1/31/26 STEPHEN MILLER SUGGESTS BRING SLAVERY BACK White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted on social media this morning: "Plenty of countries in history have experimented with importing a foreign labor class. The West is the first and only civilization to import a foreign labor class that is granted full political rights, including welfare & the right to vote. All visas are a bridge to citizenship. In America, for generations now, the policy has been that anyone who would economically benefit from moving to the US can do so, exercise the franchise in the US and their children, the moment they are born, will be full American citizens with all the rights and benefits therein.” After his call for a "labor class” excluded from citizenship and a voice in government, Miller went on to reject the idea that Haitians living and working legally in Ohio should be described as part of Ohio communities. Calling out Democratic former senator Sherrod Brown, who is running for the Senate again this year, for including them, Miller posted: "Democrats just flatly reject any concept of nationhood that has ever existed in human history.” History is doing that rhyming thing again.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides the crucial database management ICE depends on to track immigrants and power its massive deportation machine enforced by violent, masked agents. Before raids happen on the street, surveillance happens in the cloud — data is aggregated, analyzed, and turned into targeting lists.
