If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

As part of its established procedures, ICE sends agents to pound on the doors of protesters at home and tell them "We know who you are and we're coming for you." The tactics of incompetent state terrorism.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

Great symposium today organized by @uclalawreview.bsky.social & Xiyin Tang on Labor in the Age of Platform Capitalism, where I'm moderating a panel on antitrust & IP with @marklemley.bsky.social, Xiyin Tang, @madhavisunder.bsky.social, and @rtushnet.bsky.social www.uclalawreview.org/ucla-law-rev...

GOP: If it ain’t broke…break it.

Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, blocked the Pentagon from penalizing Sen. Mark Kelly over his call for the military to disobey illegal orders, ruling the effort to cut his retirement benefits is likely unconstitutional:

Antitrust has been the one area in which the Trump administration was not uniformly awful. But that may be changing; they just fired the head of the Antitrust Division news.bloomberglaw.com/product/blaw...

Not one juror voted for the indictment. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

This is what people aren’t talking about-the bigger picture here is that the DOJ “went there” at all. This level of corruption of the DOJ’s core values cannot be excised surgically. We ARE going to need to amputate that whole dept more or less and rebuild it

I'm not sure how slow it is, but yeah

100! The fbi has to be rebuilt too…

🤷🏼

Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

I remember Trump suing CBS and the BBC about "unfair" edits. MAGA insisted they had to do this because such edits are illegal (they're not). But of course they have nothing to say about @nbcnews.com editing out the boos of JD Vance

Information about the 6 people who Ro Khanna revealed from the Epstein files:

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

The party of free speech strikes again.

WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

A very good article on the weirdness of the AI alignment problem, including one of my favorite images describing AI training www.understandingai.org/p/the-many-m...

The Speech and Debate Clause should protect any Senator or Representative from just reading those names on the house floor

Excellent reporting on this post including: - Construction started in July 2018, during the Trump administration as a priority infrastructure project - In 2019, Trump himself signed into law the first U.S. funding for the bridge with up to $15 million for CBP. www.dailydetroit.com/canada-paid-...

In the least shocking news ever, the DOJ illegally redacted Trump's name from manyEpstein files. [And of course that doesn't count the ones they just didn't release because they are about Trump] www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

As you can see, we have a mental health crisis in the U.S.

As a person I think Miller is the worst, but for ability to influence things badly Musk gets the win

Yes, this is a real thing posted by the deranged lunatic today. It must be so embarrassing to have to try to defend this nutjob

LOL — Nick Shirley won honorable mention.

Unbelievably horrific. A lot of people in positions of power in Israel belong in jail, starting at the very top www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Just a reminder that while Donald Trump is the worst person on the planet, Elon Musk is trying hard for second place. He just awarded $1 million to a literal Nazi for antisemitic shitposting x.com/esjesjesj/st...

Criticizing your country isn’t unpatriotic — this is 👇🏽

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

“President Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize Station…”

I thought editing broadcasts got you BILLION dollar extortion demands ?

@rtushnet.bsky.social, @markpmckenna.bsky.social, and I filed an amicus brief opposing THQ's argument that Mar Vista can't make a horror movie called "Alone in the Dark" about, well, people who are alone in the dark because it made a video game with that name ecf.cacd.uscourts.gov/doc1/0311469...

A Florida A&M University law student says the school told her to remove the word 'Black' from a Black History Month event flyer. The school says it is in full compliance with state law

They should rename it "Nobel peace prize station" just to fuck with him www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/p...

An important story about coming changes to the global financial system www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Someone created an open, fully searchable version of the Epstein email archive Warning : NSFW (unless you work in the White House, of course) www.jmail.world

There are plenty of *real* divisions between the U.S. and EU in speech laws for hate, disinformation, etc. But *not* about this. It takes a very talented huckster to convince the world that purveying literal child sexual abuse material makes Elon an American speech hero fighting French oppression.

We got a few more today before the DoJ realized they released a bunch of rape reports of Trump and removed them.

it doesn’t sound like the resignations are done in Minnesota DOJ.
