Friday, February 6, 2026. Chump posts racist content portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys in an effort to distract from (a) the economy, (b) ICE and Kristi Noem and (c) his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein which includes Epstein hanging out with him as late as 2016, and much more.
They need to answer some basic
questions. Who raped these underage girls from working-class families?
What did they see? What did they know? What did they participate in? The
American people are frustrated with the rich and powerful getting a
different set of justice.
SCRIPPS NEWS GROUP quotes US House Rep Ro Khanna
making those remarks on the floor of the House and he's referring to
those "who exchanged e-mails with [Jeffrey] Epstein:
Khanna
said he remains concerned about communications that remain partially
redacted by the Justice Department. Some emails suggest Epstein offered
to connect men with women, though it is unclear whether the recipients
knew that some of the women Epstein trafficked were underage.
Jeffrey
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficked children and young
adults. They preyed on them. They lied and tried to pretend they were
respectable and yet they were sex traffickers and pedophiles. Epstein
died behind bars -- an apparent suicide. Maxwell went on the lam and
was finally discovered and put in prison. Real prison. Last July, she
played footsie with Chump's Deputy AG Todd Blanche and got herself a
sweetheart deal which has landed her in Club Fed -- a cushy prison that
she doesn't qualify for.
She remains there.
Even though her conviction on sex crimes means she can't be there. She remains there.
And Todd Blanche wants us to believe now that she's there for her own safety.
Is Todd trying to say Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself?
Is that what Todd's doing?
Because
to claim that her life depends upon her remaining at Camp Bryan seems
to suggest that the Justice Dept is not capable of protecting people in
prisons. If that's the case, then every prisoner should be moved to
Bryan, Texas for the facility there.
Donald Chump has put her in Bryan, Texas.
That's reality.
He wants her there.
Chump wants her there.
And that begs the question of what she's hiding.
That's not me suggesting that we would find out what she's hiding by asking her. She's a known liar.
But
Chump can pretend all he wants that he's innocent of any wrong doing
with regards to Epstein; however, when he has Maxwell in a cushy prison
that she doesn't qualify to be in and the best excuse Blanche can offer
is that there are threats against Maxwell? Chump's own actions confess
to questionable behavior.
And questions can be asked. And should be. And maybe officially will be after the November mid-terms. Pedro Camacho (LATIN TIMES) notes:
Rep.
Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said
his party would seek to interview President Trump as part of the Jeffrey
Epstein investigation if they regain control of the House after the
midterm elections, according to a post published Wednesday by CNN
correspondent Kristen Holmes citing remarks Garcia made to Manu Raju.
According
to Holmes, Garcia said Democrats would pursue an interview with the
president in connection with the Epstein files probe if the party wins
back the House majority, which would give them subpoena and
investigative authority through the committee.
In a separate interview published Thursday by Politico,
Garcia said Democrats believe the Justice Department has not fully
complied with disclosure requirements tied to Epstein records and
described the investigation as ongoing. "The DOJ thinks this
investigation is over. We think it's just getting started," Garcia said.
He also said, "There is a subpoena that's been in place since the
summer. They have been unresponsive."
Maybe
Donald's worried about something simple coming out? A little lie like
his claiming that he cut off contact with Epstein years ago? Tom Latchem (DAILY BEAST) notes:
Jeffrey
Epstein told a friend he was in Palm Beach with “all the trump boys” on
Christmas Day 2016—a month after Donald Trump won his first U.S.
election, a newly released email shows.
In a
message sent on December 25 that year, following Trump’s victory in the
November election, the convicted child sex offender wrote to Bill Gates’
advisor Boris Nikolic: “im in palm with all the trump boys. . = fun.”
A reply from Nikolic in the early hours of Dec. 26 reads: “Have fun!!”
Epstein
did not spell out what “palm” means—although both he and Trump, 79,
owned luxury homes in Palm Beach, Florida—or who exactly the wealthy
financier was referring to when he said “the trump boys.”
It
is also unknown whether the meet-up ever happened, or whether the
president—who this week continued to try to shift media attention away
from the files—was expected to be there himself.
2003: As part of an incredibly revolting book celebrating Epstein’s 50th birthday, Trump sends a birthday note
with a hand-drawn note of a pubescent, nude female form, and a poem
reading in part: “Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that? … A
pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another
wonderful secret.”
2008: Epstein is finally investigated for sexual abuse of minors. Then-U.S. attorney Alex Acosta grants Epstein one of the most bizarre sweetheart deals
in American legal history, in which Epstein not only secretly pled to a
much lesser charge of soliciting an underage prostitute, but also got
all his unnamed accomplices immunized forever.
2011: Epstein sends the above email.
2016: Epstein claims in another email that he is hanging out in Trump Tower a week after the election.
2017: Trump nominates Acosta, who has no relevant experience, to run the Department of Labor, which he does until 2019.
So November and December of 2016 found Epstein and Chump together again.
Over a month ago. The efforts to deny the
public the truth and answers is telling. And we can't even get answers as to why the
Justice Dept took so long to release what they have and about the 3
million pages still unreleased. Alexand Bolton (THE HILL) notes that Senator Chuck Schumer tried to get answers:
Senate
Republican Whip John Barrasso (Wyo.) on Thursday objected to a
Democratic request to initiate legal action against the Department of
Justice for not releasing all files and records related to convicted sex
offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Senate Democratic
Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) rose on the Senate floor to ask for
unanimous consent to agree to a resolution directing the Senate to sue
the Trump administration for violating the Epstein Files Transparency
Act, which Congress passed overwhelmingly last year. The bill, which
passed the Senate unanimously, directed the Justice Department to make
public all its files related to Epstein by Dec. 19.
“The
question before the Senate Republicans today is simple. Will they
enforce the law that they helped pass or object and keep the Epstein
files hidden?” Schumer asked.
What are Chump, Bondi, Blanche and the rest hiding?
Reps.
Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) have requested a meeting
with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche seeking answers about why the
names of some people listed in email correspondence with Jeffrey
Epstein are redacted in files released by the Justice Department.
“@RepThomasMassie
and I have requested a meeting with @DAGToddBlanche to ask why the
senders of these emails have been redacted,” Khanna wrote in a Thursday
post on the social platform X.
“Concealing the reputations of these powerful men is a blatant violation of the Epstein Transparency Act we passed,” he added.
Khanna
included an image of one email in his post where the sender of a
message to Epstein was blacked out. The March 2014 email said “Thank you
for a fun night” and “Your littlest girl was a little naughty.”
What
are they hiding? And why do they keep covering for those who stand in
the shadows, for those who justice apparently cannot touch?
And, on that, we need to return to the topic of Ghislaine Maxwell.
Why is Chump and his DOJ working so hard to give her special privileges? She's a convicted sex trafficker.
Yet Donald Chump has moved her to a cushy prison.
Now
he has so many friends who are pedos -- we noted one just yesterday one of his 'spiritual advisors' Robert Morris --
so maybe he's just extra fond of them? He really needs to answer as to
when Ghislaine is going back to the prison her conviction demands she
serve out her sentence in? Again, if they're telling us that Ghislaine
will only be protected at Camp Bryan, that's an alarming reality that
needs to be the subject of Congressional hearings -- 'Chump proclaims
Maxwell can't be protected in the prisons she belongs in!!!!'
He's acting awful guilty.
With all of this and so much more kicking Chump in his saggy ass, his crazy and his evil came out last night. As Ben notes on this morning's MEIDASTOUCH NEWS, Chump's late night posting included posting a video of Barack and Michelle Obama's heads on monkeys bodies. Yeah, that is a vile act of racism.
Chump's in a panic because he's loathed. Because the public's caught on to him and all of his hypocrisy and lies. Epstein, the economy, you name it. Harry Thompson (DAILY BEAST) notes:
Despite
President Trump’s claims about a miraculous economy, planned layoffs
reached their highest level for January since the Great Recession.
New
data from Challenger, Gray & Christmas released on Thursday
revealed that last month saw more job-cut announcements than in any
January since 2009.
The outplacement firm said
that the 108,435 announcements made were up 205 percent compared to
December 2025. That’s also 118 percent higher than January 2025.
Layoffs
are at a record high? Well thank goodness Chump's policies have led to
an increase in job creation, right? Oh. Wait. They haven't. In
fact, Sam Sutton (POLITICO) reports:
The
Labor Department reported on Thursday that job openings in December
unexpectedly dropped to their lowest level since mid-2020, during the
heart of the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s a sign that companies have cooled
on hiring despite an economic expansion that the White House has framed
as the dawn of a new Golden Age.
[. . .]
A
new poll from The Economist/YouGov found that Trump is 14 percentage
points underwater on his handling of jobs and the economy, and a survey
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that consumer expectations
have deteriorated with regard to wage growth and finding new work.
Well
he wrecked the economy and after years of talking about Epstein and the
need to hold people like Epstein accountable he backed off on that and,
with Maxwell, proved he had no desire to hold them accountble.
Remember, he did tell former US House Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene that he
had to protect his friends from being exposed. At least he can point
to pride in how he's conducted his war on immigrants and -- Woops.
That's a failure as well. Sarah Rumpf (MEDIAITE) reports:
Rep.
Jared Moskowitz (D-FL ) referenced President Donald Trump’s previous
role on The Apprentice during a congressional hearing Wednesday to
advocate for the firing of Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Kristi Noem.
The tactics used during the Trump
administration’s immigration crackdown have been loudly criticized and
sparked nationwide protests and multiple court challenges, especially
after two fatal shootings of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis: Renee Good on
Jan. 7 by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 by Border
Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer
Raymundo Gutierrez.
Recently, Border Patrol Commander
Greg Bovino was removed from overseeing the operations in Minnesota and
sent back to California, with Trump’s border czar Tom Homan sent to
replace him. Noem’s announcement Monday that her agency would be
“deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in
Minneapolis…[e]ffective immediately” satisfied a key demand from
protesters and Democratic members of Congress, but has failed to quell
the ongoing anger and frustration at the administration’s immigration
policies.
Republican
Senator Roger Wicker is urging the Department of Homeland Security to
take its plans for a massive immigration detention center elsewhere as
he slaps down having the facility in his state.
The powerful Mississippi lawmaker wrote a letter to
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday rejecting the plan
to buy a warehouse to convert it to hold immigrants in the deep red
state.
It's not just a Republican senator facing the reality of Kristi Noem, it's the whole country. Dace Potas (USA TODAY) reports:
Not
only did Senate Republicans let down Americans by yielding to Trump's
poor impulses on his nominations, but they have also left the party
vulnerable heading into the midterm elections.
58%. It's almost a supermajority (60%). A majority of Americans want to see Kristi removed from office. And Panties Hegseth and Junior aren't very far behind. Chump's a loser and he picked losers for his cabinet.
Let's wind down with this from Senator Alex Padilla's office:
WATCH: Padilla hears from Martin Daniel Rascon, a U.S. Citizen from California who was unlawfully stopped and shot at by CBP
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla
(D-Calif.), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Immigration
Subcommittee, joined a bicameral spotlight forum to denounce Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) agents’ violent tactics and disproportionate
use of force as they enact President Trump’s mass deportation agenda in
American cities.
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Ranking Member of the
Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and U.S. Representative
Robert Garcia (D-Calif.-42), Ranking Member of the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform, convened the forum to hear testimony
from U.S. citizens who have been victims of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers and
agents’ violent abuse of power. Martin Daniel Rascon,
a U.S. citizen and resident of San Bernardino, California, was among
the witnesses who testified, recounting his experience when ICE and CBP
agents unlawfully stopped him and his family last August before a CBP
agent fired on their car multiple times.
Padilla slammed the out-of-control Trump Administration’s reckless,
indiscriminate immigration enforcement campaign that has terrorized
American communities, starting with Los Angeles. He condemned ICE and
CBP’s cruel and unlawful violence against immigrants, peaceful
protesters, bystanders, and U.S. citizens alike.
Padilla demanded meaningful reforms and accountability for DHS’ rogue
violence after ICE and CBP’s violent killings of Renee Nicole Good and
Alex Pretti last month in Minneapolis. After Good’s brothers and her
family’s lawyer offered powerful testimony at the forum, Padilla
expressed his deep condolences to Good’s family and warned that more
lives could be lost if ICE and CBP continue their violent operations in
Minneapolis and in other cities across the country. Padilla also
criticized his Republican colleagues for refusing to hold DHS
accountable and blasted the Administration for villainizing victims of
the violent actions of ICE and CBP agents before any unbiased,
independent investigations take place.
In addition to Mr. Rascon, the following witness offered testimony:
Marimar Martinez:
A U.S. citizen and resident of Chicago, Illinois. In October, she was
shot five times by CBP agents. After being shot by the Border Patrol
Agent, Ms. Martinez was later charged with assaulting the agents who
shot her. All charges were dropped by the U.S. Attorney’s Office six
weeks later.
Aliya Rahman: A
U.S. citizen and resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is also a
person with autism and a traumatic brain injury. In January, she was
violently dragged from her car by immigration agents after telling them
she had a disability; she was then detained without immediate access to
medical care or accommodations.
Luke and Brent Ganger:
The brothers of Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen and resident of
Minneapolis, Minnesota who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in
January.
Antonio Romanucci: An attorney representing the family of Renee Nicole Good.
Seth Stoughton:
A former police officer and Professor at the University of South
Carolina School of Law, where he is the Faculty Director of the
Excellence in Policing & Public Safety (EPPS) Program.
Key Excerpts:
Let’s not let our Republican colleagues off the hook, because under normal circumstances, regardless of who’s in the majority, when
tragedies like this happen, Congressional committees convene to conduct
our job to provide that oversight, but our Republican colleagues refuse
to. Not at the House, not at the Senate, not at the full
committee, and not even the subcommittee level. But at least we are here
doing what we can to bring this information to light.
We’ve seen the masks, the unmarked cars, the agents who refuse to identify themselves.
We’ve seen the agents coming out of helicopters, rappelling onto an
apartment building in Chicago, kicking in doors indiscriminately, all
for purposes of making a promotional video for themselves. We’ve heard
and seen about the tear gas. We’ve seen the shootings of cars like Mr.
Rascon’s experience and others.
Instead of proceeding with the best practices of an independent
investigation, what do we hear from the Administration, all the way to
the top? “No, these officers have complete immunity.” Number one, that’s
not true, it’s wrong. Number two, it’s the opposite message, the wrong
message to send to the agents in the field.
So as heartbroken as I am, I’m not shocked that less than three weeks later, Mr. Pretti was shot. 10 times. In the back.
All for what? Because Ms. Good and Mr. Pretti were exercising their
First Amendment rights? They’re speaking up on behalf of their
neighbors. That’s so core to our democracy, freedom of speech.
Under normal circumstances, we turn to the Department of Justice and
the Civil Rights Division to oversee a credible, independent
investigation and bring forth consequences and accountability when
warranted. But sadly, we’re not living in normal times. And so we
do need to exercise any leverage point we can for the important reforms
and restraints of what’s happening on the streets, for the safety of
our communities and our constituents.
Ms. Martinez deserves justice. Ms. Rahman deserves
justice. Mr. Rascon deserves justice. The people of our country deserve
better.
Today’s event was the second public forum Padilla joined as part of
an ongoing inquiry into the lawless and abusive tactics used by federal
immigration agents. In December, Padilla heard testimony
from five U.S. citizens, including three Californians, whom DHS agents
have violently arrested and detained. Padilla and Senator Blumenthal
also introduced the Accountability for Federal Law Enforcement Act that
month to allow individuals — regardless of citizenship — the right to
sue federal law enforcement officers and agencies in civil court for
violations of their civil and constitutional rights.
Senator Padilla has been a leading voice in opposition to President
Trump’s cruel and indiscriminate mass deportation agenda, including
against his unprecedented, illegal militarization of Los Angeles and other American cities like Minneapolis. Last week, Padilla spoke on the Senate floor
to hold the line against any additional funding for President Trump’s
DHS after the brutal killings of Good and Pretti by ICE and CBP officers
and agents. He also voted “no”
against funding ICE and CBP’s cruelty. Additionally, Padilla and
Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) joined U.S. Senator Peter Welch (D-Vt.)
and every Senate Judiciary Democrat in urging the Department of
Justice to heed the calls of career prosecutors and open a civil rights investigation
into the death of Renee Nicole Good. Last month, Padilla joined leading
immigration advocates and interfaith leaders at an “ICE Out for Good”
rally and vigil to condemn the Trump Administration’s abuses against American communities and to demand ICE and CBP leave Minnesota after Good’s killing.
