James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: I was in Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition today. It was shameful. She basically said other powerful people committed these crimes but she won’t name them unless she’s granted clemency.

She needs to be sent back to a maximum security prison immediately.

JUDGE JOHNSTON: “Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s interpretation of the law, American citizens could be subject to the same .. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution.”

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

TO RECAP:

- They don’t want you to believe the thousands of women who were victims of Epstein
- But they do expect you to believe ONE woman, Ghislaine Maxwell

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

Valentine’s doesn’t have to mean flowers.

Sometimes it’s a good book, a quiet walk, and learning about the birds and the bees, purely nature-based of course! 😏

A lovely gift, even if it is for yourself
