Babe, we can tell.

"There are plenty of reasons why Trump’s job performance is polling on par with the less glamorous STDs. One reason is thatthe Trump administration is committed to its increasingly unpopular programs of ethnic cleansing and murder. Also: it’s the economy, you stupid fascist." First Draft today:

BREAKING: Platform Ventures, the development company that owns a south Kansas City warehouse that federal agents toured last month to consider for an immigrant detention center, announced today that it is not moving forward with the sale.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

"Persuasion is not their objective. Their objective is instead to offer a demonstration of loyalty to the president and his political project—costly loyalty: The price is their own credibility."

funny to see this clip of an anonymous chud who needs white supremacy to feel like his life has meaning just after attending an event honoring a brilliant black scholar for her brilliant book

Hell yeah, Zo

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it …. it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.

This victory belongs to the people of Minnesota who have inspired all of us by transforming crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. People power works. The timing of this announcement — shortly before Congress votes on a DHS funding bill — is no accident.

ICE and CBP remain a violent menace and no Member of Congress should vote for a budget that gives the regime more money without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.

At Pod Save America’s Auckland show, there were audience questions. The 1st one: “What would have to happen in American politics for you to uproot your families & move to New Zealand, as my kids & I just did?” Others were similar. These aren’t easy to answer More in Open Tabs https://bit.ly/4kuNoyC

The Australian actor grew up on the edge of a forest and never quite left it behind. Now, with ‘Train Dreams’ on Netflix, he’s exploring what it means to live—and lose—our connection to the wild.

Let it sink in that two people had to die (that we know of), hundreds had to be forced out from their homes, and a whole community had to live in fear for Trump to pull ICE and CBP out of Minnesota. This is definitely a win, but what it took to get here should stay with us forever.

Gov. Shapiro: “The SAVE Act is designed to nationalize our elections. That's why I am vehemently opposed to it…We are not going to turn our elections over to Donald Trump.”

Let the record show that J.D. Vance gets booed in America, too! USA! USA!

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Bingo, @jamestalarico.bsky.social 🎯 “Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft”

I've been clear — I will not support more funding for ICE until there are new guardrails to rein in its lawless conduct. A continuing resolution on their current funding is merely more license for their current malfeasance. I'm a no on anything but real reform.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

My latest. I hope you read, consider and share.👇 The events of the last 24 hours must serve as a wake-up call for a federal judiciary that has grown too comfortable deferring to the executive branch and too slow to hold it accountable. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...

As a kid, I rode the bus up to Tahoe every Saturday to ski. Now, future Winter Olympics are at risk. Climate change is warming winters so fast that even high-tech snow machines may not be able to save the Games. If we don’t cut fossil fuels, the future of winter sports could melt away.

Breaking news: President Trump backed down from his decision to exclude Democratic governors from an annual White House meeting that has long been bipartisan, according to the National Governors Association.

This is how CBS Evening News depicted data showing that less than 14% of ICE arrests involved those accused or convicted of violent crimes, and less than 2% had homicide or sexual assault charges or convictions.

The sad irony is, many of these same newsrooms have sold themselves on a version of this critique. Many journalists also believe that the problem of right-wing distrust can only be remedied with more pandering, at the expense of the existing audience. Not so! www.offmessage.net/p/a-requiem-...

Rep. Crow: " I have a message for the Trump administration: If you are turning your back on the law, turning your back on the Constitution, cowing to Donald Trump, and abusing the American system of justice…you cannot hide and escape accountability. Justice is coming."

Andrew Schulz: "We know that everybody from Trump, Patel, Bondi, Bongino, everybody that was involved in that [saying] 'This is just a hoax. We don't have anything.'…They're all on record saying versions of this. With the latest tranche, all of that was a lie."

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Srsly, do not come here for the World Cup. Do not come here for the LA Olympics. Just don't. It's not safe

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.

He makes terrible decisions all week long and then goes back to his Palm Beach home for the weekend where all his friends tell him he’s doing a great job

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In 2022, a group of SpaceX employees wrote an open letter asking the co to distance itself from Elon Musk's online behavior. They were fired and the NLRB opened an investigation. Then Musk funded Trump's election win. Now, the Trump NLRB has dismissed the case. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/b...

Another party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend. This one had women wearing disco ball masks while they danced on platforms for the entertainment of Trump’s guests.
