1. Until Sunday, it wasn’t clear to me why Savannah Guthrie’s mom was still missing nearly a month after her disappearance. Then came images of the FBI director, Kash Patel, partying with members of the US Olympic hockey team after they won the gold medal. Then it all started to make sense.

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

A reminder that fake voter fraud and false claims of election rigging were always the plan. Here’s a direct message from Assange to Don Jr way back in 2016.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

He's just going to weave and riff and weave and riff while attendees get sleepier and sleepier. We're going to see giant avalanches of words that have nothing to do with anything, stories about people who don't exist, and boasts about things he did not do. At least an hour will be about 2020.

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Why? There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

I think the question to ask though is why, in a time period well before Trump became even a candidate for president, a bunch of girls and women would call a confidential tip line to make accusations against him, specifically?

I’m rooting for Trump to tear into the justices and show the world that he believes they are his to command. They have tried to tilt the table in his direction, and they amply deserve the embarrassment of his ingratitude.

www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... "Katie Johnson" rape allegation against Trump & Epstein appears on FBI Complaint form

America is watching today, so every reporter covering tonight's State of Delusion should be questioning why 50+ pages related to a woman accusing Trump of sexual assault when she was a child are missing from the released files.

Masterful Troll, TCM.

Going to the White House isn't political, says the guy who let the FBIs very own Make A Wish kid chug a beer with them in the locker room while the President called on speakerphone to shit on the Women's Team

"The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds"

Officers responding to a planned snowball fight in Washington Square Park were struck by members of the crowd. The NYPD commissioner described the incident as "illegal" and said authorities are investigating.

Every copaganda I've ever seen has led me to believe that police are absolutely clamoring for a photo op like this where they get to Snowball Fight With The Neighbors They Protect & they still couldn't even dunk this obvious lob

The Trump administration has scrapped plans to convert a warehouse in Merrimack, N.H., into an immigration detention facility, according to Governor Kelly Ayotte.

BREAKING: The 21-year-old man shot dead after entering Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and gas canister on Sunday was an “outspoken” Christian, a strong Trump supporter, and obsessed with the cover-up of the Epstein files, according to people who knew him. trib.al/tHO6gez

Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

"It is not a coincidence that Epstein was also interested in crypto, in AI, in right-wing populism, in trad Cath extremists, and anti-trans ideology, ... Epstein gravitated toward fields and figures that rank humans, explain away cruelty, or biologize inequality."

Between this, DOGE, the AI child porn, abandoning Mars, and the exploding rockets, I have to say, he’s really a genius and we shouldn’t underestimate his ability to turn anything and everything to shit.

Remember when I said NYC Mayor is one of the most powerful executive offices in the country? Honestly a lot of it is this kind of stuff. In many jurisdictions "I'm gonna hire 1000 people for a couple days for $30/hr" would require months hearings and council votes to actually do.

“i’m still punk” i whisper to myself as i turn down the music in my car so i can see better

democrats should stage a walk out, ideally bit by bit, because he'd crash out in real time

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

Live Nation paid ZERO federal income tax last year largely due to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting $145M in profits. It's also on the verge of scoring a sweetheart deal from Trump's DOJ to end a major antitrust investigation. Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations. Not you.

I note that the White House originally said it was the White House Historical Association that preserved items from the East Wing. Now it says the General Service Administration and the National Park Service did. Did they? Did anyone?

Disgusting display by the US men's hockey team as they laugh along with a violent misogynist as he mocks the women's team. No solidarity among Olympians with these guys.

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

This guy gets it.

BREAKING: Sen. Ruben Gallego will NOT attend the SOTU and will instead participate in the People’s State of the Union hosted by MeidasTouch and MoveOn.

Patel is at the FBI to steal our money, glorify Trump, deep-six criminal investigations of Trump and his friends, be a googly-eyed little goblin and *nothing else*. That's why he has a media relations strategy but no law enforcement strategy. He's the tool of a kleptocracy, not any kind of lawman.

Once again we are asking: Why was Kash Patel paid $25,000 by a company linked to the Russian government? When a payment from a production company for $25,000 showed up on Kash Patel's disclosures during his confirmation hearing, we did some digging. And soon, the story began to unravel.

Yes. Let’s analyze the risks *after* we send billions of dollars worth of equipment to the region. This is either misdirection, or the most glaring lack of coherent strategy I’ve ever seen.

Imagine winning an Olympic gold medal in men's hockey and then *immediately* destroying every bit of that coolness by partying with a graspy little dork like Kash Patel.

The longevity influencer Peter Attia has resigned from his position as a contributor to CBS News after backlash over the revelation of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. nyti.ms/4sczaW1

triple yikes

Here are some things that could happen to push back against this culture: Hockey leadership could push back and rebuke this behavior. The men could decide not to go to the White House. Parents could use this as a teaching moment. And we could all support women’s hockey and women athletes even more.

But in doing so, they also reveal how much of it is total inauthentic performance. Trump loves Phantom of the Opera far more than hockey, so to appeal to these athletes he reverts to misogyny as what they have in common. The athletes are spurred on to participate, even if they support their peers

Cracking jokes about how the women aren’t worth as much as the men, while exhibiting behavior that only men can perform and be rewarded for in professional environments (chugging beers, slamming tables, hooting and hollering) is to reaffirm how “cool” and masculine everyone is

Seeing Trump and Kash Patel interact with the men’s hockey team is a solid example of how misogyny functions as a male bonding ritual. Patel is clearly trying to impress the athletes and Trump, Trump is trying to impress the athletes, and the athletes are trying to impress the president

None of this is happening

NEWS: The gold medal–winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team has declined an invitation to attend Trump’s State of the Union. This comes after Trump was heard telling the men’s team he’d begrudgingly invite the women’s champions or risk impeachment.

A thing to keep in mind in the Netflix vs. Paramount bidding war for Warner Bros. Netflix does not propose to absorb CNN, TNT, TBS. It would spin them off in a new company like Comcast did with MSNBC. Whereas the Ellisons want to show Trump they can bring CNN to heel, as they have with CBS. Clear?

it's going to be a major political project for the rest of our lives to remind the goldfish brained american electorate every 2 years what the conservative definition of "criminal" actually is

After a great game we get a drunk, jock-sniffing fanboi in the locker room on our dime, then misogynistic belittling of the women’s team who accomplished the exact same thing by the president and men’s team. What a way to kill a vibe. Enjoy the pedophile’s speech, boys.
