You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Minnesota would like a word.

POV: Your attack is so successful that you kill the people you wanted to put in charge.

MAGA Rep Luna: “The bombing of Iran is not a war. It's a strategic strike.” Putin: “The attack on Ukraine is not a war. It's a special military operation.” As I've said many times, the Putinization of America continues.

Doubly crazy because not only is Iran a war of choice—one that doesn't happen if the 2024 election goes the other way—but also the reason things got here is Trump chose to renege on the JCPOA in 2018. This isn't the inevitable march of history. It's the election and foreign policy of one guy.

A recent work by this “Hero of American Education.”

Kash Patel’s girlfriend is exactly the sort of country singer you’d think she’d be. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

"If the US ends up withdrawing [from the Iran nuclear deal], it sets the Middle East on a path to two possible futures: 1) A nuclear Iran. 2) War. Both are much worse than the status quo." Oct 2017, warning against breaking JCPOA, saying no "better deal" would arise. I was hardly the only one.

Holds up

Cases against 17 of 32 people charged with crimes during Operation Midway Blitz have already collapsed, and no one has been convicted. But federal prosecutions are daunting, they carry the threat of prison time, and freedoms are often restricted even in minor cases.

The unitary executive strikes again.

Arrest them.

Judge Quraishi says that if ICE keeps arresting people and detaining them without bond under the legal theory that has been rejected by hundreds of judges, and any of those cases come across his bench, he'll immediately order DHS and DOJ personnel hauled into court to explain themselves.

This is a scandal for ICE, but also an indication of just how much they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. They've had multiple applicants with outstanding warrants for their own arrest walking in looking to play cop. That's apparently how dumb some of these goons are.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

In a healthy democracy, any discussion of Trump's SOTU would at least mention that it was only 5 years ago that the nation's elected leaders were texting goodbye to their loved ones from this very room, fearing they were about to be murdered by Trump's mob. youtu.be/suA86rHbnko?...

An enraging, enraging case.

By promoting the writer who says Blacks need to be policed harder and dismisses Epstein concerns as a hysterical attack on age gap relationships, Jared Polis, Matt Yglesias, Gavin Newsom etc. signal their anti-woke bonafides. Basically “I’m not like those other libs, I’m one of the cool ones.”

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

The Trump admin formally warned Ukraine not to strike targets within Russia that could hit US economic interests, according to Kyiv’s ambassador in DC. Meanwhile, the Trump admin has barely said anything about Russia’s many more strikes on US businesses in Ukraine. w/ @a-mackinnon.bsky.social

The stories in here of what DHS officers are doing to children who are still making the journey to the southern border to seek protection is appalling. One teenager says he was threatened with "a dog and a stun gun" into signing away his right to seek protection in the United States

As ICE moves to massively expand immigration detention through the purchase of warehouses around the country, the best example of what these places might look like comes from Camp East Montana, which opened in August and now holds over 3,000 people per day in terrible conditions. Read more below!

The collapse of American elites is precisely why this administration has been able to do as much as it has. The first line of defense is institutional friction and noncompliance, but the institutions (w/some exceptions Congress, the courts, industry, the media) have largely abandoned the fight.

If wannabe Nazis now confidently roam the halls of power—and the streets of American cities—it is because Republican leaders have made them feel at home. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

In 2024 Rufo offered $5000 to anyone who could prove Haitian migrants were eating pets. Then he turns around and wonders why the brains of so many people on the right have melted into conspiracy slop

Virginia Giuffre's family on the arrest of ex-U.K. Ambassador Peter Mandelson: "The contrast with the continued inaction in the United States is undeniable. Survivors deserve transparency, swift investigation, and real justice, no matter who is implicated." Full statement

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

Charlie Kirk repeatedly pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory and regularly made racist comments in his public statements. If we can't call someone so explicitly racist "a racist" without getting fired, who else is off limits? Donald Trump? Nick Fuentes? David Duke?

NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon permanently forbids the Department of Justice from releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report on his prosecution of Trump. Also bars DOJ from sharing "any information or conclusions" from the volume. A sweeping, perpetual gag order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service." Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I can answer this one. The president of the United States is dangerously psychotic and no one in his political party will say it, nor will 95% of American media.

And yet it’s even more dumb: Both hospital ships are in dry-dock in Alabama, so they won’t be arriving anytime soon. This is a weird distraction from the Danes medically evacuating a sick US sailor from a US Navy nuclear sub yesterday 9 miles from Nuuk. What was a sub doing nine miles from Nuuk?

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

I keep this image on my desktop now because of how often I have to use it.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

A retired British primary school administrator with a British passport and a valid visa was shackled, chained and detained for six weeks by ICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

To my mind, this is the single tweet that explains 95% of the energy behind the MAGA movement.

Donald Trump suggests the Supreme Court is a conspiracy of traitors: "They're very unpatriotic and disloyal to our Constitution. It's my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."

6/9ths of the Supreme Court declared traitorous enemies of the state by the "Unitary Executive."

The executive is unitary (at least this one is) and must be able to act in vigorous fashion (as defined by the executive) except when Justices think it's bad for money. That's not in legal statutes. Then again, many of this Supreme Court's rulings are not based on what the law actually says.

It is pretty telling that it comes as something of a surprise that the Supreme Court sided with the Constitution over Trump.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Putting "Big Brother" Trump on the now Orwellian Department of "Justice" is just the latest in a series of these "Cult of Personality" banners on federal buildings. Newsweek coverage: www.newsweek.com/new-pro-trum...
