Trump says he’ll block Gordie Howe Bridge from Michigan to Canada
Trump said he would “not allow” the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a 1.5-mile bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, in a post on Truth Social. It is not clear how Trump would block the opening of the bridge. CNN has reached out to the White House, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, which runs the bridge, for comment. Ontario Premier Doug Ford echoed LaRouche’s comments Tuesday, telling reporters that he’s “confident” the bridge will open. But there’s one thing President Trump can do, get rid of Canadian tariffs.

George Saunders on Anger, Ambition and Sin - The New York Times
I mean, I was a geophysics major Yeah, I figured Yeah, yeah. The comfort is truth Yeah I don’t want to say I’ve never been comforted by the truth. And yeah, that’s sin and that’s the sin. So I think that’s part of maybe there’s so much emotion right now, so much agitation and fear. And so I think I’m more open to the idea that in different periods I will have to change.

The One Where Stephen A. Smith Makes My Point For Me
But Stephen A. Smith is very, very passionate about the fact that the Vikings made a mistake in letting Sam Darnold walk away in free agency. This is when Stephen A. Smith was asked if the Vikings should bring Darnold back following that loss to the Rams in the playoffs. Interviewer: “So, Stephen, you’re saying the move is to go with J.J. McCarthy?” Smith: “I’m saying, sure. Seriously, January 2025 Stephen A. Smith needs to have a serious sit-down with February 2026 Stephen A. Smith so that they can get their stories straight, because one of them is speaking with their mouth while the other appears to be using a completely separate orifice. You don’t get to be retroactively pissed off or annoyed that the Minnesota Vikings did what the Minnesota Vikings were largely expected to do.

Analysis: Democrats wade into ‘Epstein class’ warfare
“This is the Epstein class, ruling our country,” Ossoff said Saturday, noting the extreme wealth of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters on the South Lawn before departing the White House on February 6, 2026. Dustin Chambers/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesAn ‘Epstein class’ would include Bill ClintonOssoff’s message, while focusing on Trump’s administration, would also create some collateral damage for Democrats. That Epstein previously had close ties with both Clinton and Trump is grist for any argument about an Epstein class. Khanna has argued that there are multiple issues with crossover appeal in which targeting the Epstein class could be useful.

On February 1, 2026, just a week before the halftime show, Bad Bunny made history by being the first artist to win Album of the Year at the Grammys for an album recorded in Spanish. But Puerto Rico has an odd relationship with the United States government, a relationship born of the combination of late-nineteenth-century economics and U.S. racism. A fiercely pro-business Supreme Court provided a solution for Puerto Rico in what became known as the Insular Cases. But what did this system mean for the people in Puerto Rico? He ended by shouting “God Bless America” in English, echoing the United States mantra in an answer to right-wing critics.

As pressure mounted to release Epstein files, FBI employees compiled allegations against other men
As the Justice Department faced mounting pressure to release the Epstein files last year, FBI employees were compiling what one described as “salacious” allegations against men in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit and putting together a presentation that included a list of “prominent names” in the investigative files. Some of the tips included claims of sexual misconduct, while others were not allegations of criminal conduct but rather indicated an association with Epstein. Separately, the FBI compiled a list of sexual assault allegations related to Trump this past August — many of which appear to have come from unverified tips. Eventually, Congress passed a law in November demanding transparency and the release of all documents, forcing the Trump administration to act. Later that month, she gave a group of rightwing influencers binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1,” which turned out to contain already publicized documents related to the sex offender.

Analysis: New roadblocks slow US reckoning over Epstein as Europe races ahead
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche pledged last month that the Justice Department was not protecting anyone — least of all Donald Trump. The gist was this: Grant clemency to Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, and she’ll put the president in the clear. Blanche, in an online exchange with Massie on Monday night, said that the Justice Department is “hiding nothing.”Democratic Rep. James Walkinshaw demanded answers. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing.”Neither the current nor the ex-president has been charged with any crime in connection to Epstein. In the US, the Justice Department is run by Trump loyalists who’ve heard his calls for the country to move on.
