honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.

At the risk of being repetitive, this is insane.

Absolutely keeping this handy for every numbnuts troll on here trying to 'explain' why There Was Just Something About Her.

Absolutely unbelievable, and yet entirely predictable, that people are still doing this instead of just saying, ‘You know, I fucked up. I didn’t take the time to understand the absolute fucking existential crisis Trump posed, never listened to her, and just didn’t take it seriously enough. My bad.’

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

NEW: The family of Texas businessman and political candidate Donald Huffines have been identified as the owners of Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in southern Santa Fe County, which was purchased in 2023 by a limited liability company. sfnm.co/4aB9Rpj

Have seen stories about how the Olympic village is out of condoms. Then I saw a TikTok post from former Olympian Adam Rippon about how he emptied the whole bowl of Olympic condoms into his backpack for souvenirs 🙂

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

USA women's hockey at these Olympics: Five games. Four consecutive shutouts. 26 points scored. Opponents have scored *once*. Just an absolute machine.

“They were hellbent on not allowing anybody to help him until he was dead,” she said. “I was right there, and they — all of them — made the decision to deny me access to give him the best possible chance of survival.”

This is by far the most cartoonish politics has been in my lifetime. Extremely kind & decent people vs. the absolute dregs of humanity. It continues to baffle me that this is not equally clear to the whole country.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

An 82 year old Black woman, Virginia State Senate President Louise Lucas, is absolutely napalming Glenn Youngkin's legacy in Virginia, including a stadium and redistricting. Haven't seen a profile on her in the New York Times, but they always have space for sanewashing white bros.

Give Myles Garrett and Chloe Kim the gold medal for cute couple at the Olympics. We're all rooting for them put a ring on it, just saying...

For more on how conditions at Dilley are affecting children, read my latest for @nbcnews.com

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The cruelty of this regime in a nutshell.

Cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social captures very vile nuance of Bondi.

been watching the olympics and i think i found a solution to the male loneliness crisis

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

Lyons made the claim about local law enforcement at a hearing this morning. His claims did not mesh with our real-time reporting in 2024 on when the apartments were cleared of many occupants. We asked ICE which agency leaked their raid. No answer yet. Then the posts disappeared.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments. Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier. Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

What a story: “Lewandowski and Noem, both married, have denied the reports of the affair, but people said they do little to hide their relationship. “The pair have been using a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, for their travel around the country” 1/ www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

one of the major forms of sexism in our electoral politics is when people assume *others* are sexist, and therefore refuse to vote for a woman candidate. don't do that. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/democrats-...

There is something profoundly wrong with Pam Bondi that she wants to please a child rapist.

As we dig into this scandal, can we revisit the question about why the president's son-in-law, who has no formal role in this administration, keeps showing up at high-level negotiations with actual world leaders?

"Volunteer". Nobody elected the President's son in law to do damn thing. "Kushner is serving as a volunteer with the Trump administration and doesn’t have a formal U.S. government role."

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Trumpers are the most necrotically miserable people ever to hold power. They hate humanity, the arts, creativity, and anything that brings joy. They have destroyed the East Wing & the Kennedy Center, and will destroy the US economy in order to drag everyone down with them. bsky.app/profile/greg...

Pam Bondi is now freeing accused drug dealers bc her demand that AUSAs do unethical things got all the prosecutors to quit. www.startribune.com/case-dismiss...

"for Navarro, the inevitable damage to the economy due to the loss of productive immigrant workers is a good thing, because Americans should be willing to sacrifice prosperity in the cause of expelling the foreign-born." MAGA economics is a mess. From @davidrlurie.com at @atrupar.com's place:

Hegseth's unconstitutional retaliation against Sen. Kelly was so brazen that an exasperated federal judge used more than a dozen exclamation points! Highlights from the ruling: "Horsefeathers!" and "Please!" "That is a troubling development in a free country!" buff.ly/YY60KWM

BREAKING: Judge blocks Hegseth effort to punish Sen. Kelly. "This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees." Background: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-k...

The entire ethos of the Trump administration is that nobody who disagrees with them, nobody who fails to support them, is legitimate or entitled to any rights in any way. It is the ethos of thuggish tyranny.

For anyone wondering what Greg Bovino has been up to lately…

Of course Moscow Ron has a problem with people acting like Americans instead of Putin's Russia.

This is DARVO

There is something clearly mentally wrong with Pam Bondi. And it's worth asking what has triggered her to so vociferously defend and enable child rapists and the abusers of other women.

These dudes think this is so clever. Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. It’s a relatively common crime. There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid. I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Meanwhile Epstein enabler and unqualified medical quack Peter Attia not only still has a job, he's being protected by Bari Weiss.

La Cage Aux Folles (1978) Gallipoli (1981) Thank you Sarratt Cinema at Vanderbilt. Also saw 'Dr Strangelove' followed by 'A Boy and His Dog' as a double feature at the University of Texas student center.

Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.

New: Colorado filed a lawsuit to prevent the Trump administration from canceling more than $20 million in grants for public health after HHS notified Congress it wouldn’t pay $600 million in grants already awarded in Colorado, California, Illinois and Minnesota — all states with Democratic governors
