Congress Races Clock on DHS; Epstein's Legacy Haunts America

Congress Faces Deadline to Fund DHS; Epstein Case Fuels Anti-Elite Sentiment

Washington, D.C. – Congress is facing a tight deadline to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to NPR News on February 4, 2026. The House voted 217 to 214 to fund most of the government.

Meanwhile, the Jeffrey Epstein case continues to resonate, fueling a strain of anti-elite populism across the political spectrum, according to Vox. Caitlin Dewey wrote in the "Today, Explained" newsletter that the case has become a vehicle for this sentiment. "I feel a bit of trepidation when anyone brings up the Jeffrey Epstein case," Dewey stated, highlighting the difficulty in separating documented crimes from surrounding conspiracy theories.

In other news, the Berlinale Series Market Conference is set to feature Jack Thorne, writer of "Adolescence," and the directors of "The House of the Spirits," Variety reported. Speakers will include Banijay's Johannes Jensen, FilmNation's Courtney Saladino, and Amazon Studios' Javiera Balmaceda.

Time Magazine highlighted snowboarder Red Gerard, reflecting on his experience after winning the U.S.'s first gold medal at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics. Gerard, then just 17, became the youngest Olympic snowboarding gold medalist ever. He described the subsequent six months as a "fun and cool time," including appearances on talk shows.

Also, Time Magazine reported on World Cancer Day, observed every February 4th, emphasizing the importance of early detection. According to the 2025 Aflac Wellness Matters Survey, 90% of Americans delay preventive screenings, with 94% citing barriers like scheduling conflicts, logistics, or access, not a lack of desire. The article stressed that time is a valuable resource, and how we delegate our time reflects our values.
