Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Another Bacon banger

Dems could get enough votes to impeach RFK Jr over this, no question. Conviction in the Senate is harder, 67 is a high hurdle. But a strong Dem push for it, including a relentless media strategy, could cause Trump to panic and force a u-turn.

My daughter's school district just announced the launch of a BBQ team at both the middle and high school. And you know what? Hell yeah. This is America 😅

Two things that are both true: 1.) American conservatism has always been far worse than voters are willing to believe. 2.) The groyperization of the GOP has been a world historical catastrophe which will echo for generations.

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

SHE REMOVED THEIR WEDDING PHOTO LMAOOOOOO Oh she HATED his guts

simply one of the greatest calls of all time

the thing that gets me about the antivoting leftists is that they don't just want to not vote. they want to not vote and have all the rest of us admit how cool and good it is. a participation trophy for laziness

see that's not particularly difficult messaging

"yes, I did take my kids to the pedophile island, which I previously lied about publicly and you should not read into that. I mean come on guys, it's not like I LEFT them there"

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

very interesting argument that challenges the way Bruen locks us into 18th century policy choices

This pro-Trump nostalgia absolutely was confirmed over and over again by the Dems' own internal polling, in a truly horrifying way: newrepublic.com/article/1882...

The recent emergence of the phrase McClellan Democrats warms my bitter, nerdy heart.

Kerryman who is married, living and working legally in the United States for >20 years has been incarcerated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) since September 2025. Profoundly disturbing report by Karlin Lillington @klillington.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Establish it. All of it

In political philosophy, a central insight of (small-r) republicanism is that a kind master is still a master, and that relationship itself makes the subject unfree. Same with the ultrarich. Counting on them to put the interests of society before their own myopic interests is playing with fire.

JD Vance getting booed, as called around the world (auto transcribed & translated, mostly):

Worst act of DC vandalism by a Brit since 1814

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Part of the answer to “Why are so many mainstream columnists and pundits saying such transparently stupid stuff?” is that they’re still on X, and view the world through the perspective X brings them, and that perspective is dramatically warped.

oh come on

“I suspect this filing was composed by AI because this lawyer’s grammar is generally worse than that” is the kind of thing that would make me want to board the next tramp steamer for South America

What is remarkable about this NYT fluff/PR piece to glorify a Trump bootlicker in Cong is that they didn't bother doing any profile on the MoC - @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social - who did the hard work of getting Liam Conejo Ramos out while Katie didn't lift a finger to help out the 5 yr old boy.

I mean!!!!

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

A Ron Wyden specialty: sending a letter in public that reveals he's seen some really bad classified shit that he wants an explanation for.

Ah yes! The signature Schumer move: the pre-emptive power collapse! "Well, one or two concentration camps would be understandable, really. We're open to negotiation. Okay, three or four."

Charismatic speakers do not speak "like regular people" they speak "like how regular people wish they could speak."

If I were to condense down Lessons of Zohran into 2-3 principles, it would be something like 1. Do the actual work, hit the actual doors. 2. Have a real-ass film production team, with a vision and confidence 3. Love my bean-counters, we need you elsewhere, but: we're picking for real-ass charisma

Once again banging my drum that EVERY Democratic and progressive bill that passes needs 5-10% of the outlay, on top, just for marketing and messaging EVERY THING YOU PASS, AS YOURS.

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy. 2. Don’t establish other revenue sources. 3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right. 4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls. 5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.

Apparently morale at DOJ is so low that line attorneys are asking to be held in contempt so they can get some sleep yikes

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account. A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech. New from us at the Post: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio... @johnwoodrowcox.bsky.social

The point of taxing billionaires—even more than revenue generation—is limiting the control that billionaires exert on the rest of the body politic. Frustrating founders' ability to control shit is a feature.

Waves of contagious disease are a recurring historical feature of concentration camps.

I would add that many commentators discredited themselves *specifically* in the category of forward-looking advice by urging everyone to just try to move past J6 during the Biden Interregnum.
