House Democrats just launched our petition to fund TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard. This Republican shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security has gone on long enough. Republicans must join us.

A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing. Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M. Do you see how this works?

Wow. Sometimes a book flows so easily and beautifully that the writing itself is a pleasure. This is one such book. Also: Black literature is American literature, and Black history is American history. If you don’t know them, you don’t know the whole story. #BookSky #litfic #literaryfiction

Government of the unserious, by the unserious, and for the unserious.

The U.S. has intercepted messages from Iran that may signify the activation of “sleeper” cells within the U.S. designed to carry out terrorist acts on American soil, so of course the FBI is focusing its efforts on . . . the 2020 Presidential election.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

DHS Nominee Vows To Protect ICE Agents By Personally Fighting Each and Every Protestor

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Also, buy popcorn.

New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low. When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?

This President is such a child. He tried to abandon his appeal, but the punditry dunked on him for it and he couldn’t stand the embarrassment. He’d rather continue a fight he doesn’t want than give anyone the satisfaction of seeing him fold.

Trump was raised in a family that disparaged military service. He thinks people “dumb” enough to serve have what’s coming to them. Remember what he told the widow of the soldier who was killed in Niger: “he knew what he signed up for” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017....

Tulsi knew.

John Roberts has created “immunity” as this thing that can be tossed around. If Iranian soldiers are defending themselves they commit no crime. If they have committed war crimes, Americans can’t “immunize” them.

FIFA has officially issued President Trump a yellow card. If he assassinates another world leader, it’ll become an automatic red card and he won’t be eligible for another FIFA Peace Prize for 4 years.

I know, reich?

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Any insight onto why this isn't being treated as the biggest scandal in the history of the presidency? Shouldn't this be the ONLY story right now? www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Signal boost.

Why don't the people of the Twin Cities just stay home and let DHS do as it pleases? Speaking only for himself, Mike Somes explains that he personally does it because he is an idiot who does it because he failed to realize that all that talk about inalienable rights was an elaborate joke all along.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

If I know anything about John Roberts he's gutting the VRA on Tuesday

What are the odds that the Administration will comply fully with this order and refund the money it has collected illegally?

Nothing to see here. Just the government disobeying court orders and being held in contempt. Totally normal.

I’m surprised he took his hood off to testify.

These people are monsters.

I don’t know anything about hockey, but I’m rooting for the bumblebees.

“The filing from Mr. Rosen . . . was the latest instance of the Department of Homeland Security providing an account of a shooting that later proved questionable or outright wrong.” Thank God ICE thugs are so inept that their lies fall apart like tissue paper in a rainstorm.

This is too good.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

ICE is, indeed, going after the worst of the worst. It’s recruiting them as agents.

Trump’s DOJ is so bad at its job. So, so bad.

For anyone who built a career on the premise that the courts, however fallible, are committed to rationality and truth-seeking, Trump’s destruction of the judiciary is a tragedy of incalculable proportions.

The important part of this story is not that Lutnick had dealings with Epstein. It’s that he made a big show of saying that he was so disgusted by Epstein as of 2005 that he resolved to have nothing to do with Epstein, and the files show this to have been a bald-faced lie.

“This was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.” The United States is now in the concentration camp business. All who do not speak out are responsible.

“Kash Patel nixed an effort to investigate the blood spatters in Renee Good’s car because doing so would produce evidence contradicting Trump’s claim that Good had run over Jonathan Ross.” Silly me, I thought the FBI’s job was to investigate crime, not cover it up.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

We are governed by the worst people in the world. Who retaliates against a five-year-old boy for having won his release from jail?

I practiced law for thirty years. I never once asked a judge to hold me in contempt. I never once told a judge that my job sucked, or that the system I represented sucked. Trump’s DOJ is a train wreck.

If you know people who are still trying to blame Alex Pretti for his own murder, make them read this.

“A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain, according to court documents.” ICE beat this guy half to death and then lied about it.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

As a Jew, I honestly thought that voting for the Nazis would protect me from antisemitism

I hear that undocumented immigrants are trying to avoid ICE by finding hiding places where they’re reasonably sure there are no other people, like theaters showing “Melania.”

Nothing to see here, people.

Trump wants to be your daddy, but we know who’s the Boss.
