The House GOP Judiciary Committee X account has deleted a prank “Rick-Roll” post about the Epstein files after severe backlash from across the political spectrum.

The post came as conservative influencers were given heavily redacted copies of the files as “Phase 1” of the release.

“#BREAKING: EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED,” the now-deleted post read, with a link to Rick Astley’s music video for “Never Gonna Give You Up” on YouTube.

The post received a Community Note warning readers that the post was a prank and led to the music video.

Both Democrats and Republicans slammed the post for making light of a sex trafficking case involving minors.

DOGE Plans To Get Rid Of An Entire Agency
February 28, 2025
A new report reveals that the Department of Government Efficiency is planning to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Employees of the CFPB claim Musk’s DOGE is planning to “wind down” the independent federal agency. A federal employee shared, “My team was directed to assist with terminating the vast majority of CFPB employees as quickly as possible.” Congress established the CFPB in 2011 to protect consumers from unfair financial practices. There are currently 1,700 employees at the CFPB. BREAKING: President Trump and DOGE are firing nearly all of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s 1,700 employees, per CNBC. pic.twitter.com/PyXG1d3Ikk — The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) February 28, 2025 Here’s what CNBC reported: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Trump-appointed leadership plans to fire nearly all its 1,700 employees while “winding down” the agency, according to testimony from employees. In a trove of statements released late Thursday, federal employees said that the mass layoff was discussed in meetings they attended this month with senior CFPB leaders and members of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of… […]
Republicans Looking to Rescind Some Obamacare Medicaid Expansion to Make the Budget Add Up – PJ Media
February 28, 2025
When Congress was debating Obamacare in 2010, one of the most controversial parts of the program was Medicaid expansion. At that time, Medicaid was a healthcare program for the poorest of the poor, run by the states. But the radical left dreamed of expanding Medicaid to include millions of additional “clients” by allowing anyone earning less than $21,000 to become eligible for benefits. The Obamacare plan called for states to voluntarily expand Medicaid with the federal government picking up most of the tab. Eventually, 40 states bought into the Medicaid expansion program to the tune of $682 billion in federal tax dollars. Medicaid rolls grew from 55 million in 2010 to 72 million today. It’s no longer a program for the poor. It’s a middle-class entitlement, and its costs are continuing to grow. The House budget plan has few specifics about where to cut. But the unspoken promise in order to reach budget goals is to cut the 90% share that the federal government paid into Medicaid expansion. This is going to leave a lot of people without health insurance. The change could generate as much as $560 billion in savings. That’s still short of the $880 billion the House Energy and Commerce… Read the full article here […]
Former NFL Player Chris Kluwe Fired from His High School Coaching Job After Arrest for Protest
February 28, 2025
Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe says he was fired from his job as a high school football coach in Southern California, after his arrest for protesting at a City Council meeting. Kluwe claims the school offered him a chance to resign and then fired him. “MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and, most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement,” Kluwe said on Feb. 18 during a debate about the installation of a plaque with the MAGA acronym at the local public library. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.” The MAGA acronym being debated did not stand for “Make America Great Again,” as the Trump campaign slogan reads. Instead, the acronym at the library is “Magical,” “Alluring,” “Galvanizing,” and “Adventurous.” “I was told the school was getting too much attention, and they had to let me go,” Kluwe said of his job as the freshman special teams coach at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California. The former punter says he held the job for five years. “I knew it was a possible consequence,” Kluwe told the Guardian via email obtained by USA Today. “I think it just goes to… Read the full article here […]

Trump Hints At New Investigation Into Joe And Hunter Biden
February 28, 2025
President Donald Trump has suggested that either former President Joe Biden or his son, Hunter Biden, may have been responsible for a small bag of cocaine discovered in the White House almost two years ago. Recently, President Trump pledged to reopen the investigation, reigniting perusal over an incident that federal authorities had previously deemed inconclusive. In July 2023, a small plastic bag containing cocaine was discovered inside the White House, prompting an immediate evacuation and a subsequent investigation by the United States Secret Service. The substance was found in a storage cubby near a public entrance to the West Wing, an area frequently accessed by visitors and staff. At the time of the discovery, President Biden and his family were at Camp David. The Secret Service apparently conducted a thorough investigation, including advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis, but were unable to identify a suspect due to the lack of physical evidence. The case was closed after eleven days without any charges filed. However, earlier this month, President Trump announced plans to reopen the investigation, suggesting potential involvement of Joe Biden or… […]
Zachary Levi: What an unbreakable boy taught me about family, faith, and fatherhood
February 28, 2025
This spring, I will welcome my firstborn. As I approach this new chapter, profound excitement and, yes, anxious anticipation are constant companions. I keep reflecting on what it means to be unbreakable — not in a literal sense, as life reminds us of our fragility, but in spirit, values, and connection. This reflection is deeply personal, not only because of fatherhood but also because of my role in “The Unbreakable Boy,” a film that has challenged and reshaped my understanding of strength, family, resilience — and faith. The story follows Austin (aka AuzMan!), a boy with autism and brittle bone disease. Physically, he is incredibly fragile, yet his spirit is anything but. His unwavering joy and boundless enthusiasm starkly contrast with a world that often feels heavy with division, fear, and cynicism. What struck me most while portraying Austin’s father was how his son’s unyielding optimism forced him — and me — to re-evaluate what truly matters. We live in an era when outrage often overshadows optimism and headlines focus on what divides rather than what unites. Behind this noise, these truths remain: the power of family, the importance of faith, and the… Read the full article here […]
DOGE Isn’t Just About Efficiency – HotAir
February 28, 2025
A month in, murmurs are arising in some corners of the Republican coalition against the provocative slash-and-burn campaign of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Maine Senator Susan Collins said DOGE is “making mistakes.” Nebraska Representative Don Bacon told DOGE to “measure twice before cutting.” Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski declared “Many of these abrupt terminations will do more harm than good.” Now, one can argue that these voices simply represent the “Never-Trump” faction of the Republican Party, which is only continuing to lose influence—and that analysis is correct. (As an aside, Collins, from effectively blue Maine, deserves more understanding than Murkowski from red Alaska, but I digress.) But when it comes to a simple calculation of government efficiency, the brake-pedal enthusiasts may have a point. Perhaps cutting a Securities and Exchange Commission research tool will make the government less efficient in some ways, not more. Journalists (whose salaries are often paid and sources often come from the very government agencies they defend) will certainly spend the coming weeks and years accumulating a veritable… Read the full article here […]

REMILIA REVIEWS: The art world appears frozen at LA’s Frieze arts show | Human Events
February 28, 2025
There is a distinct juxtaposition between the reason why art fairs began and the utility inflicted upon their existence by a steadily growing contingent of socialites. These events mimic the function of tech conferences, siphoning every desirable element of an industry into one large venue to facilitate connections, showcase emerging developments, and host launches for new products. For art, the proposition was extremely sensible: Gather as many contemporary art pieces in one place so collectors can easily survey and purchase, bypassing the inconvenience of visiting dozens of galleries. The conference model has been bastardized by many different industries into the “convention,” a compromise between industry confluence and social celebration. From Our Lady’s Pand, erected… […]
Trump Says Zelenskyy Can Come Back When He’s Ready for Peace
February 28, 2025
After a heated meeting at the Oval Office, a planned U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal was called off. WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said on Feb. 28 that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is not ready for peace with Russia, in a statement following his tense meeting with Zelenskyy, which ended with the Ukrainian leader leaving the White House earlier than scheduled. “I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” Trump said on Truth Social. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.” Zelenskyy’s highly anticipated meeting was scheduled at the White House, where both sides were expected to sign a minerals agreement and discuss the Russia-Ukraine war. However, the meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office quickly escalated into a heated argument after both Trump and Vice President JD Vance accused the Ukrainian leader of failing to show gratitude for U.S. assistance. Before their bilateral meeting began, both leaders took questions… […]
