Just in time for a new funding fight, WaPo reports that DHS has not really investigated ANY of 16 shooting incidents. Dems should demand real investigations for all of these (maybe get Robert Storch, fired DOD IG to do it) AND ALSO LaMonica McIver event. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

A hagiographical "Donumentary" about the first lady - Melania Trump - has been released in UK. So far the Vue in Leicester Square has managed to sell.... ONE ticket. Clearly Mr Farage toom the afternoon off from Cameo. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Since no newspaper delivery since Saturday due to icy roads, am catching up on magazines. This from latest @NYMag article on David & Larry is too funny. If god(s) do exist, they definitely are laughing at humans.

Kudos to my physical therapy/mobility instuctor today. She was providing guidance from home due to the icy conditions, and her house was without electricity. She had cell service, so conncected via phone. #commitment

California is among the states that have widened the road to their film and TV tax credits. They all hope tax breaks will drive more productions to their jurisdictions as the entertainment industry continues to evolve. dontmesswithtaxes.com/states-enhan...

IRS' digital conversion is about to get painfully real. @joebwan.bsky.social @eidebailly.bsky.social roundup item notes returns without bank info will be accepted, but IRS will request bank details. If it doesn't get it within 30 days, IRS will issue a paper check about 6 weeks later.

And so it continues. FCC takes aim at ‘The View,’ ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ in fight over ‘equal time’ rules for politicians. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I admit I'm a little confused as to why a consensus seems to have formed that SCOTUS will strike down Trump's obviousl illegal tariffs. That would be correct on the law, sure, but what does that have to do with anything? They'll strike it down if they feel that it saves Trump from himself (possible)

i'm going to spend the rest of my life figuring out how a small band of elites decided that acting as the global currency and primary military hegemon was gay and feminine coded

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

That's a lot of words to obscure the facts: Dhillon and DOJ are 0-2. Elias Law Group is 2-0.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

“The costs of extending coal-burning plants are significant, and federal and state regulators are embroiled in disputes over who will ultimately pay.” Oh, we know who will pay. We all will, financially, environmentally, and in health implications. 🍊🤡
