TAPPER: US troops have died. You really don't think there's any role for Congress other than being informed? REP. GIMENEZ: Not right now

lol this is an incredible video

Markwayne defies parody

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

Reporter: What’s your message to the families of the fallen? Trump: (via @acyn.bsky.social)

When you’ve lost Erik Prince.

"Suckers" and "losers."

Utterly horrifying - but at the same time hardly surprising. Who still remembers the wonderfully self-ironical EIEIO gig of Bush at the White House Correspondents' dinner? That might be where we now are in reality.

Then what happened?

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

if you haven't watched this bit of John Oliver's take-down of Musk and twtr, it is absolutely worth your time anyone who thinks this drug-addled dork is smart can gtfo

Moms For Liberty named RJ May the South Carolina Legislator of the Year for 2023 for his efforts to protect children from the evils of the LGBTQ community. He was just sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison followed by 30 years of supervised probation for distributing child pornography.

IIHS are the gold standard on this issue

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

I'd like to submit that declaring a balance of payments crisis to enact tariffs under Sect. 122 is not the best look for the US. We need to attract billions in capital daily. In a payments crisis, foreigners pull their money out, interest rates soar & currencies collapse. None of which is happening

46 years later, the U.S. once again defeated the best hockey team in order to take our minds off of a President with a 35% approval rating.

If smug condescension was an Olympic event, Bessent would win gold, silver & bronze. Does this guy know who he works for? For years, Trump's been demonizing his foes as "lunatic radicals," "the enemy within" & "evil" satanists. No one has injected more venom into US politics than Dear Leader.

“Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated - and suggestions otherwise are fake news.” - White House, June 25, 2025 www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Worth noting that the Comfort and the Mercy, the two USN hospital ships, are both in Mobile undergoing renovations. With no crews, no supplies. So no, they are not "on the way."

Greenland has universal health care and far higher standards of healthcare than are found in Louisiana and most of the US. In the meantime, Trump has blocked funding of the ACA, meaning that tens of millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare coverage.

We’re at the “rage-tweets-for-sale” phase of the Trump presidency. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

As a potential war with Iran looms.

Worst GDP print since Q1 2025.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

Every time I see "Andrew Albert Christian Edward Mountbatten-Windsor" all spelled out I start feeling like Otto in Fish Called Wanda.

with batteries at $100/kWh and wholesale solar at $400/kW, you could buy 5 KW of solar and 15 kWh of batteries for the price of building 1 KW of this gas plant... and that’s before the cost of gas to keep the thing running

Do you have prince Andrew in a can? Yes, yes we do.

Finally, a place where I can watch Colbert interviews of political candidates

SpaceX IPO going well I see

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas. Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe. This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

Hey JD Vance, is this a violent criminal?

Wow.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues. About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

Sam Altman was right - this unironically is PhD-level intelligence

I mean we talk about global trade moving on without the US all the time, but man. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Todd Blanche had time to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, but not these women?

Rep. Becca Balint's grandfather died in the Nazis' Mauthausen concentration camp. Pam Bondi just suggested Balint was antisemitic.

FWIW, the U.S had one of the worst performing major stock markets in the world last year.

That the NYT still writes this stuff when everyone knows that Musk is full of horseshit (including the reporters at the NYT!) is honestly shocking at this point. They think you're stupid. They know he never does anything he promises but they write it anyway. Utter trash.
