Amazing what happens in states where Republicans are facing tough reelection battles.

I'm not asking you to credulously accept Carney's conversion on face value. Rather, I'm asking that you celebrate the vision that Carney articulated while threatening to destroy his political life if he breaks his word Pluralistic: Carney isn't a hero (and that's OK) pluralistic.net/2026/01/27/i...

Maybe President Trump will be a future recipient of the prestigious Darwin Award.

democrats are like “what this administration and ice are doing is wrong, cruel, inhumane, illegal, and barbaric and we promise if we win, on day one, we vow to put an end to it” … “…being carried out so non-secretively”

I can't stop laughing about the fact that the showing in London and another in Australia each managed to sell one ticket each, which is hilarious because it shows that neither of these people could even get someone else to go see it with them. So lame, they can't even get a date.🤣

In the last 60 minutes, the President has posted 56 times on Truth Social.

Scam artist, Dr. Oz is of Turkish heritage. There is a long standing conflict (incl genocide) between Turkey and Armenia. Do you think it's a surprise at all that Oz is declaring fraud from the "Armenian Mob"??? Hate is hate no room for that here. #Pinks #ProudBlue www.rawstory.com/newsom-dr-oz/

"Political journalism has developed a set of practices that make surprise the default response to predictable events. Treat every denial as meaningful. Frame every warning from advocacy groups as partisan overreach." This is Literally the Job www.readtpa.com/p/this-is-li...

There's a lot of focus on Tulsi's involvement, which likely means Putin will get these ballots. But it's also notable DD Andrew Bailey was present. He has done, AFAIK, just one thing since he was installed as a Hunger Game ploy last September, but I have suspected he was doing something like this.

The good news is all the brazen, cartoonish corruption makes it easier to run on an anti-oligarchy, good government platform. The bad news is you still need candidates who want to do that

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

What devs want vs what this website is actually for

Are we great yet? Are we safer?

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

If a tree falls in a theater showing the Melania movie does it make a sound?

The MAHA crew is going to insist this is fake news. Possibly because many of them are still mad that we're not all dead yet like they predicted. Anyway, get your boosters, folks.

“If the tectonic plates would just condemn the tsunami” - democrats

They will fold if you just stand up to them. They will hide under a table if the most weak coded Democrat just talks shit about them. All we need is some courage. The people of Minnesota have shown it. Just be fucking AmeriCANs and stand up to these assholes.

I have been arguing since the great anti Muslim panic under Bush that conservatives are fucking weak ass fuckers. They’re goddamned scared of EVERYTHING. Muslims. Black people. Women. Drag queens. I’ve never seen a more scared ass group in my life. They’re fucking scared of WHISTLES.

I cannot stress how completely bizarre & unheard of it is for the DNI to be personally present for a search warrant execution, never mind this one.

4 things that are true at the same time 1. Minnesota = approx 100-1130k undocumented ppl 2. Texas = approx 2 MILLION undocumented ppl 3. ICE not sent to terrorize Red State with over 10x more undocumented ppl 3. Racists = groomed to be angry, gullible & dumb

I read in WIRED that this was 🚫 across Meta platforms, so I’m testing it out here.

This is why everyone should ignore the stories about Trump's de-escalation. The administration is *not* pivoting. It is pretending to pivot until the heat from the public and Congress dies down. Meanwhile, on the ground, it's more of the same, with slightly conciliatory language before the cameras.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Gregory Bovino https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-gregory-bovino/

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

The GOP is in fact the party of divorced middle aged men whose blue haired daughters hate them

I guess the plan is to intimidate people by making them look like the best ska group of 2026.

If you have not yet read @adamserwer.bsky.social on Minnesotans' heroics, you are going to feel way better when you do. He went there. He talked to the people doing the work. Then he thought about it and produced something rare. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... [gift link]

Has Trump threatened the pollsters yet?

That last part: ICE "may have violated more court orders this month than many others have in their entire existence. ICE IS NOT A LAW UNTO ITSELF."

"... attributed to Musk personally..." #TeslaTakedown

Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social visited Liam and his dad today at the Texas ICE facility. He shared this photo on social media that shows Liam either sleeping or lying weakly in his father’s arms.

Given the earnings Tesla just reported, it makes sense to shift money they don’t have out of making cars they can’t sell and into a speculative AI venture focused on hallucinatory non-consensual nude image generation.

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when Tesla 4th quarter profit plunges 61% year-over-year; annual profit down 46%." — Mel Brooks (abridged)

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social I AM BEGGING YOU: Please lead a vote of no-confidence in Schumer as Minority Leader. It's a closed door, secret ballot conference vote. We cannot let this man, who is not made for this moment, be our downfall. He's not a bad man, he's just not up to History's moment.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I think this is a real blow to Federal punishment capacity: I don’t think there is enough of a pipeline of sufficiently-competent MAGA-friendly lawyers to replace them. And there’s likely a growing pool of motivated defense attorneys w Fed experience and relationships w local Fed judges.

Every single time a Trumpist says “the rhetoric of the left is putting people in danger,” wave your middle finger in their face, because they are lying shitbirds without any principles.

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

this is, unfortunately, the time for us to once again call our senators and say fuck you try again

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

This is still unacceptable. There is no reform possible for a culture of lawlessness. You have to rip it up at the root and create a whole new culture.

With Pamela Jo Bondi as AG, DHS agents won’t be arrested for knocking you to the ground for giggles—or murdering you for the hell of it—but YOU will be arrested if you slow them down while they engage in this thuggish and unconstitutional behavior.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

The reason congressional Dems are becoming more and more vocal about firings and impeachments is because the base pushed them towards it. *That's* why we should be critical of them when need be.

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

in an ideal world the trauma this couple went through *shouldnt* resonate stronger than a latino family terrorized by ice. but we dont live in that world. we live in the real world. so i applaud it when the most minnesota people possible link arms with us and FIGHT like this.

They might as well have told Iran they want four dragon eggs, one unicorn horn, and the fourth whisker of an albino Chupacabra. Every one of these is a non-starter for Iran and the administration knows it.
