Ninety nine party balloons Floating in the Texas sky Army shot one to the ground Suspecting it to be a spy

This is an *actual* headline from the new and drastically unimproved @washingtonpost.com

😂😂😂

It’s not just human trafficking. It’s influence peddling at the highest and broadest levels!

Terrified Conservatives Lose Ability To Speak English After Exposure To Bad Bunny Performance https://theonion.com/terrified-conservatives-lose-ability-to-speak-english-after-exposure-to-bad-bunny-performance-dios-mio-cry-millions-of-panicking-republicans/

THIS HALFTIME SHOW IS MAKING MAGA’S HEADS EXPLODE

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Trump is not profound. He has been the same person this whole time. The question is why so many others have refused to see what he has never bothered to hide.” @jamellebouie.net on our racist president www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

He doesn’t want us talking about the Epstein Files

Miss me with those crocodile tears

The comment section, my goodness

Really good explainer video from Vox on why expanding the House - and adding an option for multi-member districts with ranked choice voting - would make our democracy more democratic. (And my bill to do that.) youtu.be/KhQGHY44XPM?...

BUY THE DIP* *french dip

HODL? In this economy?

27% of Republicans not approving of ICE is…something to note

every now and then, people seem to realize that they don't want fake money

"The vaguer Ron Wyden is, the worse things are. And yesterday, Wyden released maybe the vaguest warning I've ever seen him release."

whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero

🚨 Pls call ur Senators at 202-224-3121. Pls reply to my post with a ✅ if/when u do. It will encourage others & will let me know if my messaging is working. I hope it’s working bc MAGAs are HEAVILY promoting the bill & deceiving people by characterizing it as a simple Voter ID bill. It’s not that! 😡

Clippy’s degenerate cousin

Please, if you have the means, consider doing this. We will have to rebuild the trustworthy news media as we once knew it, and doing so means supporting fiercely independent outlets with our money as well as our clicks.

The Washington Post Guild's GoFundMe to raise money for Post staffers laid off has already passed $100,000 and is quickly climbing. Kara Swisher, a former Post employee who was rumored to be looking at heading a group to buy the paper, just tossed in $10,000. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

@joshtpm.bsky.social makes sense, though I view it in a different light. This should NEVER have been a money making enterprise. Bezos could have looked at buying the @washingtonpost.com the way billionaires in previous generations viewed donating to museums, universities, and hospitals.

So no more confirming judges, or in any way aiding the aims of this administration, right?

Probably because Kristi Noem shot it

Democracy Dies Without the Latest Information about Healthy Aging

I urge you to listen to these two minutes

Amazing what a lil bit of kompromat can do for the bankrolls

Fantastic news

Thinking of all the ways a more robust Democratic Party could have shored up the guardrails *before* the car plunged off the cliff

Elder abuse

And blue states shouldn’t subsidize red states’ struggling economies

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction. It's a tour de force: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Massive win for the people: a federal judge granted a restraining order in our Members’ lawsuit against ICE’s unlawful effort to obstruct congressional oversight. This is a big victory for accountability and we’re going to use our rights and keep fighting for all Members' right to conduct oversight.

The car is halfway over the cliff and we’re debating what kind of brakes we should get on the replacement

Maybe because he’s ashamed to have sold his soul

Right on schedule, and, more importantly, right out in the open

In 2019, the thing that got Dems to stop avoiding conflict and fight Trump directly was that he got caught corrupting foreign policy to cheat in his own election. Self-preservation made it impossible to ignore. Whatever Trump has planned for 2026 is already underway. So Dems need that mindset back.

Sunrise really showing up to play last week in Arizona

America: the world’s junk drawer

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis. That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

God DAMN it
