WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side. Will DHS retract the prior claims?

The "experience" Susan Collins says she’s running on is a record full of advancing Trump's agenda and selling out Maine people. I’ll put my experience fighting for Maine people and delivering real results up against hers any day.

A list of powerful men named in the Epstein files, from Elon Musk to former Prince Andrew

The measles virus infects ~90% of unvaccinated people exposed to it. The infected can then infect a dozen to several hundred people each. This well-researched piece is a chilling, powerful account of exactly how easily a kid could get measles, and how they could die of it. Must read! Gift link.

Kitten update: reg vet says our girl’s recovery looks great! Bloodwork and X-rays confirm she’s on the mend. Hematocrit almost normal (0.2% low), she’s gaining back lost weight, and all else points to >95% chance of recovery! Amelie is celebrating the news with a well-deserved nap! Suck it, FIP!

The FDA refused to consider a new, possibly better flu vaccine, sending shockwaves through the industry and leading to the cancellation of vaccines against mono/MS, shingles, and more. I asked: Did FDA approve the study design, as Moderna told me? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

And he turned out so normal!

The community note is the icing on the cake.

Epstein-Barr, herpes, and shingles vaccines shelved should get people hounded out of society. That’s beyond anti-vaccine or anti-intellectualism. It’s reactionary know-nothingism. If there’s such a thing as technological solutionism, this is tech problematicizing.

Virginia will be SOLID BLUE.

Kitten update: Amelie is doing really well, and I’m having Big Feels. I’ve spent 12hrs a day every day for a month monitoring, medicating, feeding high cal/protein every 90min for a best shot for the meds to work. And tonight she did her normal household routine for the first time since Jan 16. 😭

Democrats should promise, today, that Melania Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be stripped of citizenship and deported if the administration advances this effort

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

Friendly reminder: neither Pew nor Gallup just rando do polls. They’re always polls someone wanted them to do. This was about finding out how much support he still has in key demographics - and it’s alarmingly way too high.

Medals may fade over time, but loyalty to one’s people is eternal. Thank you, Vladyslav Heraskevych, for the courage to remind the world of those who gave everything for us. This is the stance of a true hero. Honour and respect! 🇺🇦

Justice isn’t ICE leaving Minnesota. Justice is ICE being held accountable for murdering Americans.

There is a book by Sheri S. Tepper that deals with this very deranged idea - a forced breeding center where women are kept like cattle and forced into pregnancy and birth against their will.

Fuentes: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women. … So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.”

Hegseth gave CBP authorization to use military anti-drone technology. Why might that be? Might it be because the military did not want to do it and CPD under DHS was delighted to do so? Stop assuming the worst of our military. Pay attention to details. Acronyms matter. www.wgcu.org/2026-02-11/e...

I’ll answer Mike Lee’s question more directly: Americans worried about ICE going anywhere near a polling location is because their presence is a DIRECT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage. When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig. Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Kitten update: one of our girl’s siblings (right side) has finally started treating her like normal and I’m so happy about it I could cry. She’s missed them so much! Other sibling still a bit sketched out by her, but at least no longer hissing at her. Screw FIP, man.

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings. This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

I’m hearing Massie said something along the lines of the names in the Epstein files are so damning for the pedo ring by a powerful global cabal that if they were made public it would “bring the whole system down.” *thinks* Ok, let’s set this bitch on fire, then.

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

We’ve all had days where we’ve woken up, forgotten to brush our teeth, and closed all El Paso airspace for an hour instead.

The Trump administration is doing so much to eliminate every little bit of imposter syndrome I ever felt.

When you’re just a baby kitty wanting to play a little bit, but you just started fighting FIP and you can’t muster the energy to bound around with your siblings, yet Today was the first day in almost 4wks she’s tried to play with her siblings. Breaks my heart she can’t do it, yet. Screw FIP, man.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.

So long as everyday Americans retain the very American instant response of “oh, fuck ME? No, no, fuck YOU!” I feel like we’ll be okay.

I know it's cringe to be like "we are going to win" but when you have career DOJ prosecutors flipping sides and being like "I quit two weeks ago and I'm ready to burn this bitch to the ground" I don't know what else to say
