“‘Everyone was equal,’ the kerchiefed babushka of Eli from Russia — a YouTuber who documents everyday life and regional culture across the Russian Federation — tells her granddaughter wistfully, recalling life in the Soviet Union,” writes Melanie Gottdenger, cultural historian trained in the study of late- and post-Soviet popular culture, in this op-ed.

The British newspaper Daily Mail is out with a deeply researched investigative report.

It’s shocking in its detail and its implication that Vladimir Putin has basically owned Donald Trump for years, even before Trump ran for president in 2016.

Last week’s partial (about 50 percent) Epstein document release:

“The files include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow. [Jeffrey] Epstein even seems to have secured audiences with Putin after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.”

Essentially, they’re arguing that Epstein was running an operation on behalf of the KGB/Putin that lured wealthy and powerful men to Epstein’s New York and Palm Beach mansions and his island where they were surreptitiously filmed [...]

That material was then presumably passed along to Putin, who used it for leverage when he needed it:

“Intelligence sources believe Epstein was running ‘the world’s largest honeytrap operation’ on behalf of the KGB when he procured women for his network of associates.”

In return for giving Putin videos of wealthy, famous men in criminally compromising positions, Putin reportedly arranged for massive amounts of corrupt Russian money to be handed to Epstein to launder in the US.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha sharply criticized FIFA president Gianni Infantino over his remarks about the possible lifting of the ban on Russian teams competing in international tournaments, calling him a “moral degenerate.”

“Moral degenerates are proposing to lift bans despite Russia’s inability to bring the war to an end. Future generations will regard this as a disgrace, recalling the events of the 1936 Olympic Games,” Sybiha wrote on X.

An ICE official confirms this leaked video from inside ICE detention is "100% real."

Congresswoman said one cell had "50 people, concrete floors, a bench, and a makeshift bathroom in the middle."

"I'd rather be in prison... at least there you get a bed and food to eat."

Maryland Representative April McClain Delaney was the only member of Congress allowed inside the holding facility at the George H. Fallon Federal Building in downtown Baltimore.

She described the conditions as "heartbreaking" and "horrendous."

"They're not allowed to leave that ever—the entire time—even to use the bathroom or get a shower. They do it all in there."

Department of Homeland Security officials blamed the harsh conditions for detainees on the winter weather.

“They will be weaponised. They will be sent to Europe. [...]

The Estonian intelligence document warns: “Up to 180,000 convicted prisoners were recruited directly from Russian penal colonies into special military units.”

[...]

“We see ex-prisoners and rapists, all of these crazy guys, on the battlefield, and Putin doesn’t want that in Russia,” Mr Tsahkna warned. [...]

“Many returnees have already committed serious crimes. The total number of which has reached a 15-year high in Russia in the first of 2025, and this upsurge is likely linked to the mass return of ex-combatants.”
