Worth noting that this response actually concedes that what Pritzker said is true.

This is heartbreaking. A woman is filming the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis as they kidnap a woman — only to realize it's her mother, who is a green card carrying legal resident. 🥹🥹🥹👇

Read this - @normeisen.bsky.social and Tianna Mays’s team is going to depose Elon Musk over his unconstitutional actions. Musk must sit for a deposition to answer for the damage he’s done - a step toward accountability.

On one hand, big tech plans to spend $650 billion on AI data centers next year. On the other hand, the cloud providers (Amazon, Google and Microsoft) have a backlog of customer demand worth $1.1 trillion. AI demand is still quite massive. The only wrinkle being few believe OpenAI can pay its share.

“If the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, a country that inflicts the ultimate punishment on those who dare to be vigilant can no longer be free.” —@fotoole.bsky.social

The White House, trying to deflect it as an “Internet meme”, should raise even more questions. “What kind of information environment is the president in?”, “why did he feel the need to share this meme?”, etc

This is really suspicious. They’re up to something. Link to thread: x.com/mattberg33/s...

There are drawdowns. And then there’s Melania Coin.

Thursday 9:40 pm: Many spots in Montana and western South Dakota topped 70F today, warmer than all except far south Florida. Laredo was 71F. Average high on February 5 is 36F in Great Falls, MT and Rapid City, SD, 73F in Laredo, 77F in Miami.

They deleted this when it turned out they read the poll wrong and it's 38% who said their finances are improving and 62% who said it's the same or they're worse off. 🙃

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

Every American needs to watch this:

Trump has an amazing ability, at least when he is out of power, to get people to project onto him whatever favorable policy views they want

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

Asshole is WAY too nice a word.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described

as ever: archive.org/donate?origi... The Internet Archive is probably the org I've supported/urged ppl to fundraise for the most, after my own org, #MEAction. Seriously, if you won't miss $5/month, it's always a good time to support the Archive.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

This is what I mean when I say that Chuck Schumer and other congressional leaders have no idea of the public opinion that they are sitting on and trying to suppress.

They're going to try & steal the election if it's close. And they're going to do everything possible to make it close. So job 1 is making it not close, & job 2 is talking about what happens & making plans for when it is. These things are not mutually exclusive as so many folks here seem to believe.

When a whistleblower’s lawyer gives you a deadline and cites the statute, that is not posturing. That is the last stop before Congress. And they just pulled the trigger.

Good to see attention to the possible ethnic cleansing of Springfield, Ohio, and the people who are coming together to fight against it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

it's probably fine

He just tweeted it out …

Washington Post correspondent Lizzie Johnson laid off in the middle of a warzone.

I generally don't repost things behind paywalls, but damn, just dek is stunning -- who looked at Epstein and thought, "How could I be worse?"

Kind of amazed she had it turned on? I only turn it on when I'm crossing borders or am visiting a country controlled by a repressive regime ahhh shit

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

a thread on the efficiencies of 3d-printed whistles believe it or not, it’s really good. you’d think it would be not as good as mass production but it’s actually better.

Unlike the United States, European regulators don’t think porn deepfakes as a service is a valuable feature of a social media app.

🤣🤣🤣

“By speaking directly with the investigators the president may have provided significant ammunition to any future defense should the investigation yield criminal charges. His conversation with the agents would probably become part of an effort to have the case dismissed as a vindictive prosecution.”

AI is literally a consent manufacturing machine.

decades of Cold War fiction: "here is a years-long plot to install a spy at a crucial mid-level post in the intelligence services" reality: "lol we're making an obvious Russian asset DNI"

oh my god I'm finding some Dobson connections in the Epstein files but I don't know how to organize it/share it . . . also does anyone care? Aren't we all kinda overwhelmed with stuff?!?!?

Immigration was the foundation of Trump’s political strength — the issue where he consistently enjoyed the trust of a supermajority of Americans. And he squandered it within a year. www.vox.com/politics/477...

"Trump is just doing what Obama did, & no one complained back then!" Given that this is a central talking point MAGA is using to reach people outside their hardcore base, it would be useful if a proper journalistic outlet addressed this comparison in an evidence-based way. I haven't seen one yet.

Elon’s turducken hiding multiple money losing businesses inside SpaceX is really happening. Curious how long he can keep defying gravity across his many businesses?

We are gonna spend our lives learning about scandals that would have made the mean Gore voter's brain burst like a popcorn kernel in the microwave.

Let's check in on the Twitter Files guy -- who insisted that the behind the scenes decision-making on content moderation was the most important issue of our time -- and see what he thinks about the publication of communications involving the most notorious sex predator of our generation.

Earlier this afternoon/evening at the Ice Out of Portland March. Kids got teargassed here yesterday and it was great to see the Portland community show up and present a united front for immigrants and families. “Revoke the Permit” City!

Lots and lots of teargas and various other munitions. People yelling for medics. Ambulance came for one person already and there was a brutal arrest amidst all of this
