Fetterman is not even on the Subcommittee on Border Security (that's a Judiciary subcommittee). He's Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Border Management, Federal Workforce and Regulatory Affairs ... and he hasn't done a thing in that (crucial!) role.

Surely all the people centrists and right wingers who claim the left doesn't speak to the needs of young men will have the same energy for Trump getting a 20 year old killed (and being extremely flippant about American casualties)

Ah, yes, the invaluable wisdom of the markets.

Is threatening to kill foreign ambassadors for saying the wrong thing a good approach to diplomacy?

Jared McCain currently has 20 points in 23 minutes shooting 4-8 from three while the Sixers are losing by 50 at home to the Spurs in the third quarter. It’s a good a time as ever to fire Daryl Morey.

So the same DoD that can’t properly communicate with our own FAA is bungling coordination with allies at war? Shocking

Trump getting U.S. service members killed in a war the vast majority of Americans oppose is frankly all we should be talking about right now. At a minimum, it should be treated with the same level of shock, outrage and discourse that the right fomented after Benghazi and the Afghanistan withdrawal.

If you’re a Democratic member of Congress who trusts the Trump regime to take military action without Congressional authorization, you should immediately resign. You’ve already abdicated your responsibility to uphold the constitution—please just vacate your seat. You are worse than useless.

29-0 is an insane accomplishment no matter who you play. Miami (OH) deserves a spot in the tourney no matter what happens in their final games/MAC tournament

The Republican midterms platform: "here's what you can eat now that you can't afford hamburger"

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

donald trump is two quarters away from being completely neutered and hopefully the subject of bribery investigations by a dem congress looking into this shit and these ceos should keep that in mind

Still seems crazy that Richard Hanania wrote for years under a white power banner and is just like, part of the media landscape.

Another example of why our highest court shouldn't have the lowest ethics standards. As our @hannahstoryb.bsky.social has covered in @prospect.org, Justice Alito's extensive oil holdings should have propelled him to sit out from considering this case. And he's not the only justice with such ties.

That’s touching. Gold medalists are skating a sweater with Johnny Gaudreau’s name on it. Gaudreau, and his brother Matt, were killed by a drunken motorist while riding bikes in August 2024.

Matt Boldy you magnificent bastard

Also, “The IG’s office is investigating a complaint that *Ms* Chavez-DeRemer was having a sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs, drinking alcohol on the job and taking personal trips at taxpayer expense.”

Not one but two sex scandals at Trump’s Labor Dept - one involving the Labor Secty herself AND a second one involving her husband. Wow.

Nearly two years after the quid pro quo between Trump and the oil industry, its clear the industry's investment has paid off handsomely.

Trump and his lackeys spent the past year gutting the EPA—minimal enforcement actions, slashed grants, lifelines for coal. It wasn't enough for industry. The repeal of the endangerment finding, supported by industry and business groups alike, is icing on the whole rotten cake.

New from me ⬇️

Like this. "You must strategically abandon the specific issues that the right has rendered toxic & focus on others." But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

Just constantly jumping from one issue to the next, hoping the bad guys don’t tell everyone to think about that issue like they did all the other issues

Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted. This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

Not only is this the longest run of my life, I also accidentally ran the wrong direction on the trail so I gave myself a 1.5 mile walk home

I hadn’t heard of August before today but wow this album. I’ve had it on repeat all day.

President Donald Trump is now embarking on a crusade to MAGAfy the American past, via a hostile takeover of the federal government’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. https://bit.ly/3Oex6xY

Great reporting in the Nation from my colleague @toni-v-aguilar.bsky.social on the horrifying array of right wing extremists given platforms in Freedom 250 events

Our @toni-v-aguilar.bsky.social is out in @thenation.com today looking at Trump’s latest grift machine+the slate of far-right agitators, Christian nationalists, book banners, & more he's partnering with to takeover the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments. Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier. Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

WATCH: Trump’s SEC Commissioner just refused to say ‘insider trading is bad.’

Great to see the new House Oversight Democrats’ report on the schemes behind DOGE's creation, the benefits it offered the billionaire class, and the harms it brought to taxpayers, federal workers, and public services. 🧵 oversightdemocrats.house.gov/imo/media/do...

Homendy sounded the alarm on the culture of fear and retaliation within the FAA: "Throughout our investigation, we found numerous people were afraid to talk to us. [...] They were worried about retaliation." "It's not a good culture right now."

🚨 NTSB Chairwoman Homendy reveals she met with the DOT Inspector General to consider writing a letter about FAA obstruction to their investigation into the DCA crash. "We were repeatedly denied data we requested. What we kept hearing from FAA was 'Oh you're not asking for it properly.'"

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race

Like seriously why are Dems talking about finding a “bipartisan solution” as the are Republican administration is actively fucking up because it’s filled with incompetent, unqualified goons. That is not opposition or oversight!!

Late last night, the FAA abruptly announced a 10-day closure of the El Paso airspace. Mere hours later, the decision was reversed. Now, we have competing stories about what really happened. The administration's incompetence is once again interrupting people lives. Congress must investigate.

A major American city has just been cut off for ten days by all air travel for no reason. This feels really ominous, like a trial run to isolate cities and conduct crackdowns. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

The country's top labor regulator has dismissed a case against SpaceX for firing 8 workers who criticized Elon Musk. Regulators “seem to have lost their independence and mission to protect workers rights," said the Biden prosecutor who brought the case www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/b...

Your Super Bowl MVP Jason Myers

He’s probably covering for Harris but this is enough to get you fired as a GM: “We were trying to upgrade the team” The team now has less depth, with less shooting, traded for a pick you devalued by saying you don’t plan on using it. All after your star player begged you not to duck the tax! WTF

"In general, the comments ranged from ardent support of the proposed regulation to categorical rejection of it. Approximately 5 percent of the overall comments were supportive, 1 percent neutral or mixed, and 94 percent opposed the proposed regulation." HUH!

NEW: Elon Musk's DOGE team officially disbanded last year, but its reactionary mission was being carried out in parallel—and continues to be executed today—by OMB Director Russell Vought, a far quieter, but no less villainous, figure. We explain in @prospect.org 🧵⬇️

How are they not embarrassed?

finally, the ICE reform we’ve been waiting for: no masks unless you really want to wear them

The next question should’ve been: Why don’t you answer her question? It’s outrageous that White House reporters let Trump get away with this and act as if it’s normal.

The Senate brought the Netflix CEO and a Warner Bros. exec to testify before Congress about the "competitive impact" of their proposed merger. But rather than conduct serious oversight of corporate consolidation, Republicans are using the opportunity complain about CNN.

In a hearing ostensibly "examining the competitive impacts" of the Netflix and Warner Bros merger, Ted Cruz asks Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and Warner Bros exec Bruce Campbell about ... the Billie Eilish Grammy acceptance speech

Mr. Monopoly makes an appearance at the Netflix/Warner Bros hearing
