Dark thoughts this morning…how must it feel to be Europe right now with Russian aggression ascending and Trump back in power. There will be no USA to storm the beaches this time…they will stand with the enemy. What has America done?

Welcome to NBC, where Europe doesn’t hate JD Vance and Green Day doesn’t call out MAGA.
Hopefully, they’ll give us the real game score.

So my Governor was singled out and disinvited by Trump to the National Governors Association Bipartisan dinner at the White House. Trump’s racism is a mega phone. Moore is the Vice Chair of the NGA & the only Black Governor in the US. In solidarity w/him, all governors/esp Ds must refuse to attend!

In an era defined by the chilling sight of agents rounding up members of the immigrant community, Bad Bunny at the #SuperBowl2026 provides a necessary counter-narrative: a vibrant display of cultural strength for millions of Latinos.

Howard Lutnick should resign!!
He lied - describing his relationship with Epstein as a single a brief encounter. But apparently he visited the island & did business w Epstein even after child abuse conviction. In the UK, 3 people who did less than Lutnick resigned in disgrace
Resign Lutnick!!!

We are in a small community outside Minneapolis and a child arrived to an empty house on Friday. No parents, ice kidnapped them and just leave children to wander alone after school

This seem pretty sus. They were drafting Epstein's death announcement before he died? And we learn this after Epstein's former cellmate says he thinks Epstein was left unprotected, and that someone wanted him dead. Sort of looks like he didn't kill himself, so who was behind this and who knew?
Newly released Epstein files include a draft statement attributed to federal prosecutors that is dated the day before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead. The draft appears among at least 23 documents in the disclosure labeled as statements from the Southern District of New York’s U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Epstein Files Reveal Prosecutors’ Announcement Dated Before His Death
The file dump includes multiple draft statements from federal prosecutors about the sex trafficker’s death, one of them dated the day before Epstein died.

Yes, it's true. The US Attorney's office in New York prepared a draft of an announcement of Epstein's death that is dated one day BEFORE Epstein died.

There's a point in the Files where Epstein appears to joke about he and Woody Allen both being "pedos," using that term
Does not seem to be a topic they shied away from

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Lotta fat old guys telling Olympic athletes that they should be sent home. No one is stopping you from getting off your couches and training to take their spots. Until then, enjoy watching them exercise their free speech rights. Go team USA.

MAGA protesting Bad Bunny headlining Super Bowl halftime show with an all WHITE cast of performers tells you MAGA is simply the latest version of the pro-segregationist movement. Trump/MAGA are working to gut the Civil Rights Act in pursuit of returning America to BEFORE the civil rights movement.

Late result for anyone still awake: Na’Cole Thompson, the Democratic candidate in the mayoral race today in Leander, Texas, has won the election.
She got 57% and won’t need a runoff, with two Republicans adding up to 43%.

Despite all their performative Don’t Tread on Me bluster, they are morally impotent in the moments that truly matter.

The Epstein Files and the Pathetic Weakness of MAGA Men
As I watch men on the Right arguing against the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, I am reminded again how weak they all are, what a pathetic joke MAGA manhood is as an idea.

This isn’t a TV plot-it’s real. Students, renters, women who changed their names, & rural voters w/o easy access to records will be affected. The SAVE Act requires proof of citizenship w/specific docs or lose their voice. The people get pushed out completely. This is a solution w/o a problem.
