People are focusing on Bill Clinton's ties to #Epstein
But about Epstein's ties to Secretary of the Navy Phelan? or DoD Deputy Secretary Feinberg?
During the #Bondi hearing Vermont Rep #BeccaBalint asked her about them."Has the Deputy Secretary Feinberg talked to Department of Justice about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein? Yes or no? Has the Department of Justice talked to Secretary Deputy Secretary Feinberg about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, which are clearly spelled out in the files?"

Lawmakers Call on #Meta to Stop Running ICE Ad Featuring #NeoNazi Anthem
Asked about an #ICE ad featuring the song “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” #DHS said: “Not everything you dislike is ‘Nazi propaganda.’”
Austin Campbell, February 5 2026
"Members of Congress are demanding answers from Meta after it ran advertisements by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they say included imagery and music intended to appeal to #WhiteNationalists and #NeoNazis.
"In a letter sent to Meta CEO #MarkZuckerberg, Reps. #BeccaBalint, D-Vt., and #PramilaJayapal, D-Wash., questioned how the social media company approved an ad campaign from the Department of Homeland Security featuring the song 'We’ll Have Our Home Again,' which is popular in neo-Nazi spaces. The lawmakers urged Meta to cease running the ad campaign on its social media platforms and asked whether the company would commit to ending its digital advertising partnership with #DHS.
The Intercept was first to report ICE’s use of the song in a paid post recruiting for the agency, which published shortly after an ICE agent fatally shot #ReneeGood in Minneapolis."Read more:

Just got off the phone with my congresscritters. Both #BeccaBalint and #BernieSanders are hard no's on funding ICE. #PeterWelch "has to see the legislation" first. Yes, his aide got an earful. #FuckICE

[about f---ing time!]
from #TheGuardian #Guardian
Wed 17 Sep 2025 18.18 EDTHe now joins a small but growing list of House members including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, #RashidaTlaib and Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, as well as Vermont representative #BeccaBalint, who also called it a genocide earlier in the day.
“Today, I believe the Israeli government is committing a genocide against the #Palestinian people,” Balint wrote in an op-ed in the Courier. “As the granddaughter of a man murdered in the Holocaust, it is not easy for me to say that.”
