The 2013 correspondence, part of over 3.5 million DOJ documents released in late January and early February 2026 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, shows Epstein joking about women using dehumanizing metaphors like 'shrimp' and 'white sharks,' laced with racial undertones. French diplomat Olivier Colom, then at Edmond de Rothschild, responded approvingly, preferring Epstein's 'shrimp' to others. No charges have been filed against Colom, but the emails have fueled online anger over Epstein's elite connections and his history of sex trafficking.

Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Key Takeaway

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

At the Washington Press Club Foundation's 80th Annual Congressional Dinner on February 4, 2026, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tied threats to democracy to attacks on the free press, spotlighting over 300 layoffs at The Washington Post that day amid industry cutbacks. She led the crowd in chanting the paper's slogan 'Democracy dies in darkness' twice, arguing that weakened newsrooms endanger the republic. Pelosi also cited journalist Don Lemon's January 29 arrest while covering a protest and new Pentagon rules limiting reporter access, framing these as First Amendment chills amid a divided 119th Congress and conservative Supreme Court rulings.

Key Takeaway

Nancy Pelosi stood before journalists and lawmakers, her voice steady as she declared America faces a crisis of conscience—with a president acting like a king, a Congress that's faded away, and a Supreme Court gone rogue.

Storm Marta swept across Portugal on Saturday, bringing gusts up to 120 km/h, waves reaching 7 meters, and downpours of up to 60 mm in 24 hours, worsening floods from recent storms like Kristin and Leonardo that killed at least six people total. Around 69,000 to 93,000 customers lost power, hundreds of roads closed, rail services stopped, and over 26,500 rescuers mobilized while three municipalities delayed Sunday's presidential election votes. Farmers faced catastrophic crop losses as saturated soils raised risks of more flooding and tree falls, leaving the nation to brace for cleanup even as the storm pulls north.

The map, shared by @basqueinamerica and credited to GeoData & Rankings, correctly highlights the Amazon basin across Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Paraguay, plus India, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.

Key Takeaway

A map marking uncontacted tribes in places like landlocked Hungary grabbed laughs online, with users joking 'It’s true they are called Hungarians.' But behind the memes lies the real peril facing isolated Amazon groups.

The satirical image, first posted on Threads in early January, resurfaced widely after philosopher Bernardo Kastrup shared it, mixing laughs with boasts about U.S. military might and reminders of real Viking history in Canada.
