Bad Bunny, one week before his Super Bowl halftime performance, starts a Grammy acceptance speech: "Before I say thanks to God, I'm gonna say: ICE out."

"Three days on the three-dollar meal plan had helped me realize something important: The diet had taken not only a physical toll, but a mental one." @jaredpoland.bsky.social did it so you don't have to:

In case you missed this yesterday, here are Alex Pretti's colleagues gathered to pay tribute to him. www.thedailybeast.com/heartbreakin...

Trump, earlier this evening in Iowa, said this: “We need people to come in legally, but they have to show that they can love our country, not hate our country…They have to show that they can love our country. They have to be proud. Not like Ilhan Omar.”

Lest you believe that DHS has eased up on Minnesota today.

"What I missed most was snacks. I love snacks. There was no room in the budget for any snacks—no popcorn, no Oreos, nor any kind of sweet treat to get me through the day. Without them, the days became a constant grind."

Brooke Rollins suggested Americans can meet their nutritional needs with $3 meals built around chicken, broccoli, a tortilla, and one other item. I tried out this diet in my latest for @thebulwark.com: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqGL...

"The food wasn't bad, but it had quickly become joyless. Already eating was becoming just another chore." That was only day one. @jaredpoland.bsky.social tries the administration's $3 meals, with commentary from nutrition and public welfare professor Colleen Heflin:

To see if the Trump admin's $3 meals is possible, @jaredpoland.bsky.social at nothing but chicken, broccoli, and rice for every meal for three days. I have basically been doing that (sometimes sub in salmon) for 90% of my meals for the last 20 years lol. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-joy-in-...

So what's it like living on the Brooke Rollins $3 a meal diet? @jaredpoland.bsky.social is here to tell you www.thebulwark.com/p/no-joy-in-...

"Every day, judges are issuing rulings expressing their disgust and alarm at the immoral and illegal actions of this administration. It cannot be emphasized too often that respect for the law is the ballgame. When that goes, there is no republic to preserve." www.thebulwark.com/p/ice-is-a-l...

“Now that she has handed over her Nobel, María Corina Machado is of no use to Trump. Delcy Rodríguez can provide Rubio a victory against Cuba and Trump a steady stream of income. Machado has nothing else to offer.” – @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-nob...

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: “Latinos and immigrants have and will continue to die under this administration…It’s terrible but important to note that it took someone like Good dying the way she did for the media and the public to take notice.” www.thebulwark.com/p/why-renee-...

Trump received quite a few golden participation trophies today:

So does Karoline Leavitt believe only biased reporters with right-wing opinions should have seats in the press briefing room? I mean, Riley Gaines is in the room asking questions.

“Trump is putting…America’s money in Qatar, where courts can’t touch it. Kind of like a drug dealer stashing his funds in the Caymans.” – @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/how-trump-...

I don't understand how this is legal...? www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

NEW: Last night, the Trump administration made huge DOGE-like cuts to the grants from the federal agency that works on substance abuse and mental health issues. (Mind you, this is an agency for which the administration already cut the staff in half last year.) www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-take...

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen: “The president has made his view clear…For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are…totally unacceptable.”

NEW: Media Matters is quitting X. A scoop here from our @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/media-matt...

Five years after January 6th, the diehards came back to the scene of the crime. @jaredpoland.bsky.social was there as pardoned rioters, conspiracy theories, and a fierce counterprotest collided on the National Mall.

My brilliant colleague @jaredpoland.bsky.social went down to the Capitol and the National Mall yesterday to see the January 6th commemorators—both the insurrectionists proud of that day and the counterprotesters who are rightly angry about it. Here's what he saw: www.thebulwark.com/p/counter-pr...

Yesterday, pardoned Jan. 6 rioters and their supporters returned to Washington to march to the Capitol as they did five years ago. I went to the National Mall to speak with them and the counter-protesters opposing their return for @thebulwark.com. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtTS...

re-upping this hilarious story for the evening crowd:

NEW @thebulwark.com: @jaredpoland.bsky.social discovered that Trump's Truth Social AI search tool is actually woke. This and more from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social in today's Morning Shots.

"I think he's doing it so he can name a part of the White House after himself that's even bigger than the White House." Watch our man-on-the-street interviews and hear how regular people feel about Trump's ballroom, brought to you by @jaredpoland.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social:

I always learn so much from @gtconway.bsky.social's conversations with our @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-lite...

Truly insane that the president of the United States is calling for arrests and an investigation because an escalator stopped working, and it hurt his feelings.

POV: You are interviewing for a job at DOGE.

Donald Trump, Nov. 4, 2024: “A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper.”

🚨🚨BEST FRIEND ALERT: IT’S HAPPENING!🚨🚨

this is a masterpiece.

Rep. Dan Goldman on Trump's cabinet picks w/ @timmiller.bsky.social: “Qualifications, competency, matters not at all. All that matters is that he believes and trusts that these are...loyalists and they will do whatever he wants. That’s where the real danger lies.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kag4...

The NY Post Editorial Board calls on Donald Trump to “ditch” Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz.

Trump's pick for Attorney General:

the obvious choice for Trump’s FBI director

Pro-Trump reporter David Brody calls for release of Matt Gaetz bipartisan ethics report

What the hell. I love RFK and tariffs now. If he bans corn syrup and tariffs decimate rural economies across the breadbasket those will be the best things to come out of this administration.

Donald Trump once bragged about “inspecting” the women’s changing room at the Miss Universe Pageant while women were changing: “I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone is getting dressed…They’re standing there with no clothes…I sort of get away with things like that.”

Jay: I think social media should be basically common infrastructure that society gets to use and evolve it as society evolves, building a more democratic form of social media to reflect a democratic society.

"While some members of Congress are known for their principled stands, Gabbard was known for her erratic behavior and frequent flip-flopping. She switched positions on key issues whenever it suited her ambitions." No good. NEW from Adam Kinzinger:

In the Trump administration, the less qualified you are, the more qualified you are.

The worst president in American history is the worst president in America’s future.

Frankie says hello Bluesky!

McGovern: What the hell is going on here? And their cabinet picks so far? These are like beyond insane. Someone who paid hush money to cover up a sexual assault accusation, you know, to lead our military? Someone who says that tap water turns kids gay.

not a landslide

Matt Gaetz "created a game where members of the FL House got 'points' for sleeping with aides, interns, lobbyists, and married legislators," according to former Florida State Rep. Chris Latvala (R).
