REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran-- RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday? REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

This is a distressing story about Trump’s attempts to impede Thomas Massie’s efforts to release the Epstein files. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

How does one fuck up awarding a medal to a soldier?

Ugh

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

No one could've foreseen this.

who do you think comes up more in therapy, the parents who are driving their child to self-harm or the teachers who are willing to accomodate his gender transition

tbh this is a better argument for bombing Tel Aviv than Tehran

jfc he is just profoundly stupid

I just read this and found it surprisingly gripping. He says no doctrine would seem “more sinister and alarming than that a President [...] can vastly enlarge his mastery over the internal affairs of the country by his own commitment of the Nation’s armed forces to some foreign venture.” (p. 642)

Bari-y-ing the lede bsky.app/profile/bgru...

Despite the clear intent of the law Trump himself signed the regime is holding back funding for science and research, and doing extraordinary harm to the country, our competitiveness, our health, and our future.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

For context, Politico reported Wednesday that the Trump regime thought it would be better optics if Israel bombed Iran first so that America could just appear to be helping an ally rather than starting a new war

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

With the outstanding teamwork with Brendan Benedict and Michael Altebrando, @evanbernick.bsky.social & I proudly filed this originalist amicus brief defending birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara: www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Sam is very very mad

A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Dow 50,000! Also 21st out of 23.

First, does Mullen know there are speech therapists that can help him? Second, he’s in a dead heat for stupidest senator, with Blackburn and Tuberville (and Mike Lee closing fast). Oklahomans with functioning brain stems should be mortified.

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

The FBI director was partying at the Olympics and allegedly sent this message — about the person killed by government officials at Mar-a-Lago — literally as the hockey final was tied and going into overtime. Did he even know about it, let alone approve or send it?

“You have to make and live by decisions… the good thing about being Vice President is nobody blames you if anything goes wrong.” #cdnpoli

You are almost certainly not aware of the full extent of what the government is doing in Minneapolis, and what it portends for all of us if they succeed. lnk.thebulwark.com/46kVMuT

For about an hour, that Sarah Isgur post was the dumbest thing I’d seen today. Altman comes off the top rope to take the lead with his sociopathic stupidity.

The establishment legal press corps’s willingness to accept Sarah Isgur’s desperate rebrand as a Thoughtful Legal Pundit media personality remains mystifying and embarrassing

I hope John Roberts signed all his mortgage paperwork correctly

Let me show you a wardrobe you can build with $1,700 🧵

Whoopsy… #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

Any chance to repost this classic Busta Rhymes moment

Deplorable state of U.S. media on display here, deliberately misleading the public. You can literally type into Google the same question @aoc.bsky.social was asked and the AI will give you her same answer because "strategic ambiguity" has been official U.S. policy her whole life.

Stealing letters from children in concentration camps to prevent bad PR... Nuremberg II is only scratching the surface of what the legal system is going to need to do to clean this out.

This is a nice move in an interview www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

Josh Johnson destroying Elon Musk for begging Epstein to come to the pedo island is the funniest shit I’ve seen this morning.

A conscientious journalism grad withdraw from a job when she learned the Cleveland Plain Dealer uses AI to write its stories. Now the editor is castigating her and journalism professors for not being “prepared for the workforce.” You can’t make this shit up. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/02...

FWIW, I just emailed NYT's standards editor to ask about the paper's policy on this. Will update if I get a response.

It’s a rough moment when you realize any “falling out” between Epstein and Trump was likely because they became competitors and then you have to think about who took over operations after Epstein was imprisoned and then that’s just…a sobering thing to consider.

insane to be reporting this stuff with a straight face. like what are we doing here man

Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA? KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication *ends presser*

How the hell does the DHS secretary not have an aide who deals with her personal nonsense? Why was the pilot on the spot? I’m guessing it all goes back to the meanest thing my grandmother could ever say about someone: “Poor dear—she can’t keep help.”

Seriously, though, I love when I share a before/after post like this and some nerd comes into my mentions like, "erm, ackshually, by my definition of the word sex you cannot change your sex and by my definition of the words man and woman you are a woman." Uh huh, good for you lil buddy.

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

come on

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
