Congressman Ro Khanna has named six high-profile men who appear in the unredacted version of Jeffrey Epstein's documents, including US businessman Leslie Wexner and Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. The congressman stated that if he had found six men hiding in two hours, he imagined how many more men were being covered up for in those 3m files. Khanna expressed his skepticism about the lack of accountability among powerful individuals who do heinous things.
Meanwhile, US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick admitted to visiting Jeffrey Epstein's private island in 2012, four years after Epstein was sentenced to 13 months in jail for procuring a minor for prostitution. The White House fully supports Lutnick, despite the revelation.
The Trump administration is also planning to roll back a mechanism allowing the government to regulate planet-warming pollution, citing that it undermines American values. Climate experts are outraged at the decision and warn that this move could have devastating consequences.
In other news, Minnesota governor Tim Walz expects an immigration crackdown in his state to end soon, after speaking with border czar Tom Homan and Susie Wiles, the president's chief of staff. The latest images from security camera footage outside Nancy Guthrie's home, who went missing on February 1st, have been released by the FBI.
Additionally, Susan Collins, a Maine Republican senator, has launched her campaign for a sixth term in office. She is expected to face a tough re-election battle, as victory in Maine is seen as essential to Democrats' hopes of winning back control of the Senate and halting Donald Trump's legislative agenda.
Katie Porter, a former Democratic congresswoman running for California governor, attacked Donald Trump over his plan to cut public health grants from four states run by Democrats.

Meanwhile, it's pretty standard that Lutnick is getting a free pass from the White House 
Not exactly what you'd call 'transparency' in their support for him.
. And the fact that Leslie Wexner just casually gets named alongside Epstein? It's like they're trying to whitewash his name or something 
. 
.
. It's like they're ignoring the fact that we're already in crisis mode here 
. I mean, come on, planet-warming pollution? That's not something you can just "undermine American values" for 
.
. I mean, Leslie Wexner and Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem flying under the radar like that? It's insane! And then you've got Howard Lutnick showing up at Epstein's island in 2012 - what was he even doing there?! 
And now they're gonna roll back pollution controls? Climate experts are totally right to be outraged, tbh. It's like they think the planet is just a big game board and we're all just pawns 
.
. And on the other hand, Susan Collins is just...meh. Like, what's her endgame here? 
. Katie Porter, on the other hand, is speaking truth to power - love it 
!
and those climate experts are right, it could be disastrous for our planet 
. And what's up with the Trump admin supporting Howard Lutnick despite him visiting Epstein's island four years after he was released from prison? 
. anyway, let's hope Minnesota governor Tim Walz can actually make some changes happen on that immigration front... we need stricter laws around border security 
.
I'm low-key freaking out about the climate stuff too. Roll back a mechanism that regulates pollution? Are they for real?! 
. And now they're planning to roll back those rules that are supposed to help stop climate change? That's just not right in my opinion 
. I mean, can't we all just get along and try to save the planet? 
. Meanwhile, Katie Porter is like "hey Trump, you're not so cool" 
. We need more people like her who aren't afraid to speak truth to power!
