Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews+notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor. npr.org/2026/02/24/nx-…

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump. npr.org/2026/02/24/nx-…

Read the whole thread. Come on America. Do something about this monstrous man

BREAKING NEWS: Rowan Atkinson, a legendary icon of comedy, television, and cinema, has left even the world’s richest and most powerful figures stunned—not just with his words, but with decisive action. At a glamorous red-carpet gala in Los Angeles on December 20, attended by film moguls, tech billionaires, and Hollywood’s most elite stars, Rowan Atkinson took the stage to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. But instead of offering a conventional acceptance speech, he chose a moment of truth—direct, fearless, and deeply human. He did not thank the Academy. He did not reminisce about Mr. Bean, Blackadder, or decades of global laughter. Instead, Atkinson looked straight into the audience of wealth and influence and declared: “We sit here surrounded by diamonds and artistic glory while the world outside is falling apart. If your voice can move millions and you choose not to use it for those who have no voice, then you are not creating change—you are creating noise.” The room fell into complete silence. Film executives and invited guests sat motionless, struck by the weight of his words. He continued, unwavering: “If you have more than you need, it no longer belongs only to you. Your responsibility is to lift up those who are still beneath you.” And he did not stop at words. That very night, Atkinson announced that all profits from his archived works and future creative projects—estimated at 160 million USD—will be donated to fund children’s health initiatives, climate action programs, and arts education for underprivileged youth. His message was unmistakable: “Legacy is not built on what you earn. It is built on what you give.” In an era when celebrities are often dismissed as hollow symbols, Rowan Atkinson delivered a powerful reminder to the world: true impact is not created by applause, but by easing the suffering of others.

A live look at the crypto market

For those keeping score at home:

So don’t accept it. Show solidarity with your colleagues. Take collective action. Walk out. Bezos can’t sack you all. (Can he??) The Post is a symbol of America. This matters. And you, the journalists, are in a position of leadership right now. Act! Fight back.

Sex with goats 🐐 👍 👀

Another brilliant Cathy Wilcox cartoon … so much said in one little image… #EpsteinFiles

Louisa and her team were Pulitzer finalists for their reporting on Gaza, including an early forensic investigation of the killing of Hind Rajab.

Jeff Bezos' Amazon fortune was built on the back of books. Today, he cut the Washington Post's books pages, along with 300 jobs. This, in the week when the Amazon film "Melania" opened to the worst reviews in the history of cinema. What a wretched legacy.

Democracy can actually die in broad daylight - and gutting a great newspaper with a storied history of exposing the wrong-doing of corrupt, duplicitous and authoritarian presidents hastens its demise.

When Jeff Bezos bought the @washingtonpost in 2013 I was glad because a modern newspaper needs owners with deep pockets. How shameful and outrageous that one of the world’s richest people should now preside over the massacre of so many good journalists’ jobs.

In years past, this sort of behavior would have been unimaginable from a president of the United States. Unimaginable. There are other words to describe this, but you can simply watch it and feel it yourself. This is being done in public.The press is being attacked in public and private. Having a free press is critical to our democracy. Having a president that knows how to answer questions with class, professionalism, and intelligence is critical to our culture and society.

Jeff Bezos, who could keep the Wash Post a pillar of American democracy with the change dug out from his limousine seats, sets an example of surrender to authoritarianism for every other business person and institution in America.

Unbelievable that a man who spent US$75m on a film no-one wants to see about Melania Trump has just fired almost all the foreign correspondents on the newspaper he owns. You might think nothing was happening in this world. @JeffBezos @washingtonpost #SaveThePost

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.
