If Bill Clinton had sent Hillary to preside over the UN security council, Washington DC would have disappeared in a mushroom cloud.

When does this end?

One of the dudes behind the whole Haitians eating dogs fake scandal has found his second act. Documenting the "Jewish invasion of" *checks notes* New Jersey.

WIRED says the "Johnny MAGA" X account that spreads pro-Trump propaganda is run by a White House staffer named Garrett Wade and does rapid response for the Trump regime www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Damn this seems exactly correct.

I’m not watching, but this is the point where Dems should have rightly stood up and left the chamber en masse.

Not watching so someone let me know how this is holding up

Feb. 24, 1926: Duncan "Red" Shannon, one of Florida's boldest rumrunners, is killed by a Coast Guard crew after a chase on Biscayne Bay. The smuggler is shot in the back as his cutter, the Goose, loaded with 170 cases of liquor, pulls up to a dock at Miami's Flamingo Hotel. 1/2

short of seppuku on live television there is no chance anything "turns around" tonight but congratulations to everyone who didn't write this

Idiots like this are running our country.

No great loss.

As long as Candace Owens could confine her bigotry to Muslims, immigrants, and queer people, Ben Shapiro was happy to provide her with a platform. Turns out when you open the door to bigoted charlatans, you can't keep the antisemitism out, either. The monster is turning against its creator.

A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

Great Replacement Theory is both fake and unworkable because it takes three hours of talk radio to turn your Syrian cab driver to a Republican which is a shame because if we could just replace the Americans, the USA would be great.

Back on Twitter, long before Musk bought it, when it was perceived as having a lib/left cast, journalists were always ticking users off because it wasn’t “real life”. Now it’s X, a far-right site, they tick us off because it’s “the commons” and apparently we’re missing real life by not being there?

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

Okay but that sounds like he'd be a great ambassador to France specifically

Outrageous. Kirk was a pig.

Funny shit.

CSPAN, come join us in the 21st Century. It's time

I thought I was alone in this.

Whoa!

Gutsy.

A Terryberry

Brilliant.

Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

Precisely.

NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon permanently forbids the Department of Justice from releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report on his prosecution of Trump. Also bars DOJ from sharing "any information or conclusions" from the volume. A sweeping, perpetual gag order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'd like to put in a good word for Imperialism.

🤨

One thing to understand is that jackasses like me graduated from law school basically believing that, while nothing like <all this> was realistic in our lifetimes, if it did happen, then our Supreme Court with all its flaws would respond roughly like this judge did, maybe 9-0.

personally I think the New York Times’ chief legal correspondent should know that the court was not a 6-3 conservative majority during Trump’s first term

Once again, the central cleavage in American politics in 2026 is neither "liberal vs conservative" nor “Democratic vs Republican” nor "democracy vs authoritarianism." Instead, it is over the answer to the very basic question, "Who was <actually> president in 2017-2020?"

Nobody is a worse advertisement for the free press than the people who write for it. The nadir of giving power, at relative levels, and influence to overgrown infants incapable of understanding what they have and using it ethically or responsibly.

Only one solution.

“It feels like the grift is happening,” Driskell said.

I truly feel sorry for every American smart enough to realize that this makes the United States look like the dumbest nation on the planet.

Fucking gross. The American people are shit.

Absolutely.

Trump: "This building was built for peace. Nobody knew what to name it, and then Marco named it after me. I had nothing to do with it. I swear. They said, 'There's a surprise coming.' I thought they were gonna give me a lot of money or something. Maybe cash. Can always use some extra cash."

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

Color me skeptical that the guy hired by the guy who only wants lower rates is going to spend all his FOMC capital trying to shrink the balance sheet…now closer coordination w/ Treasury to reduce duration in the name of “reform” or something I can see…

Nancy Guthrie is the new Judge Crater.

Hegseth endorses one of the most prominent Christian nationalists who has suggested women shouldn't be allowed to vote. Once upon a time this would be a controversy. Nowadays, it's just Tuesday.

These people need to be shamed from polite society for trying to make the basic core act democracy so difficult. No other rich country tolerates this stuff. We don’t need to either: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

U.S. ENERGY SECRETARY CHRIS WRIGHT: IF INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY INSISTS ON 'CLIMATE STUFF', WE ARE OUT

Gee. Forceful.
