This is probably gonna get lost in the whole 'war' thing happening this weekend but... "Patel’s demand that rotating SWAT teams provide his girlfriend with security for singing appearances, personal engagements and errands is unprecedented in the FBI" 🎁 Link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

... it turns out DOJ has reposted the photo with one of the faces NOT redacted anymore. It sure appears to show Jess Ting. Story updated:

Quite a development: DOJ previously posted a photo, faces redacted, that appeared to show the stitches on dining room table incident we reported. Jess Ting, the doctor, denied he was in the photo, though he didn't deny doing the stitches. Then DOJ deleted the photo. We reported all this. Then...

This delusional idea that people will rise up and oust an unpopular leader isn't really in the best interest of the current US administration. But please, do go on.

US Constitution feels like a worthless piece of paper under Trump and his bootlickers.

The DoJ “has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that…Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against…Epstein also mention Trump.” Thorough work by @npr.org here.

Trump admin has been so abusive to federal staff that leaks are bound to happen… and perhaps accelerate. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

The GOP war on women continues.

It's confusing that Trump said fentanyl trafficking is down 56 percent. Why not just say there it's also down to zero, like illegal immigration? Or 1600 percent, like drug prices?

If prices were really down, you’d feel it. The truth? Inflation has surged under Trump thanks to his illegal tariffs, and costs are only getting higher.

The fundamental problem with Trump’s claims that the economy is thriving is that… it isn’t. Trying to gaslight the American people into denying reality just comes off as insulting to our intelligence.

Looks like Rep. Green, who was holding a sign that said "Black People Arent Apes" was escorted out of the chamber.

MIGHT be? 🤦🏻‍♀️ SA, divorce, single motherhood, deadbeat dads, lower pay, higher prices, unequal healthcare outcomes (from denial of care to a dearth of research), appearance expectations, etc etc etc www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

We are at a stage in tweendom where my kid got upset with me because she needed to change a mixed number into an improper fraction before multiplying. I can assure you my sweets, I did not come up with that rule.

Coolest thing I've heard happening with language like that is kids starting to use "AI" for "bullshit", as in, a kid might say "I ate a dragon for breakfast" and another kid goes "That's AI!". They sometimes catch on faster than some adults mithinks 😅

Hey California Democratic Gubernatorial Candidates. Some of y'all need to drop out before we just choose between two Republicans in November.

@reuters.com not sure if spelling error. It is definitely a change that should cause weeping.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...
