This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

German Chancellor Merz: It is quite obvious that the Americans have absolutely no coherent strategy whatsoever. There is a sense that a whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, particularly the Revolutionary Guards.

It’s NOT a policy debate in US either. Stop listening to pundits who say “oh, Dems need Dems to fine tune their healthcare or housing or jobs proposals” to win. Project 2025 was a political agenda, not policy platform. Dems must respond in kind. They need not “policy” their way back to power.

"Magyar wasn't engaging in a policy debate... His framing was Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are a criminal organization and we need to dismantle this... he connected the impact of the criminal organization to these rural Hungarians' experience." @ambpressman.bsky.social on how Magyar beat Orbán.

Just a reminder that in January of this year, Trump and Hegseth decommissioned EVERY US mine sweeper. Yep. Every. Last. One. Evidently they could never imagine a scenario in which the US needed minesweepers. In Trump's America, we are governed by idiots.

Trump is the leader of the pedophile protection party. Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times. Trump wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.” Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet (and lied.)

Here’s my takeaway from the State of the Union: NPR reports that the DOJ has “withheld” documents that include allegations that Donald “sexually abused a minor.”

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

🔥 Ex-Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb: “Trump is demented. His narcissism has run amok. I don’t think anyone outside 🇺🇸 believes Trump is sane… and those in 🇺🇸 are in denial or so invested in him they can’t accept what their lying eyes tell them.”

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The Trump admin submitted a sworn declaration under oath that Costa Rica had changed its mind and would no longer take Mr. Abrego. Costa Rica has now said publicly that that this is false, that they have not changed their position at all, and that they will still take him.

Roger Parloff@rparloff.bsky.social

Unpacked: In Aug., Govt said if Abrego pled guilty he could go to Costa Rica, where he's okay with going. Abrego said no to plea. Govt now wants to send him to Liberia. Why not Costa Rica? Govt told judge Thurs that Costa Rica wouldn’t take him anymore. @mariasacchetti exposed them.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them! The only reason the house was voting was because he refused. This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

If he has nothing to hide he doesn’t need a House vote. He can just release everything.

Chris Murphy: "He wouldn't be going through all of this effort to try to stop the release of these files if he wasn't seriously implicated in those files. This is most likely the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country. We know that b/c Trump is going to these extraordinary lengths"

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.” Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration. Weird coincidence.

To be very clear - questions of whether Epstein provided compromising information on Trump to Putin - which then in turn explains Trump’s dangerous subservience to Putin - is back on the table.

Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social

Now there are legit questions about whether Epstein was working with/for Putin. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed onto the Epstein discharge petition. That means there are now 218 votes — and a full vote must come to the floor.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
