I’m proud of our common inheritance of ordered liberty and our heritage of killing Nazis when necessary.

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

"I always enjoyed watching us beat Indiana" -- Barack Obama roasts Reggie Miller

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center: If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

The candidate for US Senate endorsed by Gov. Brian Kemp didn’t vote for 20 years, including the 2016 & 2020 presidential elections. apnews.com/article/dere...

It's the Winter Olympics, so here's a mosaic of a Roman who is *definitely* skiing. ⛷️👍 #MosaicMonday

“Bitches be judgey” really should have been the article title

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence. The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

HAPPY VALENTINE HOOMANS

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

Today in 1809, the greatest president of the United States of America was born. Abraham Lincoln. Staggering intellect. Staggering will. Staggering empathy. I am in awe of his unparalleled writings and his indomitable will, and his insistence that we be better than we have been

Whether this is true or not, we do not know BUT we do know that ODNI continues to block our client's lawful right to brief Congress abt content of whistleblower complaint & surrounding process. That matters. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

* @fetterman.senate.gov has been replaced by a pro-ICE, genocide-supporting demon wearing his skin since 2023.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor. Not one more penny.

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

The remarkable thing isn’t the rebuke, IT’S THAT THE PRESIDENT TRIED TO PROSECUTE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FOR TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO BREAK THE LAW

The Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building looms in the background of the camp at Coldwater Spring, or Mni Owe Sni, at Fort Snelling along the Mississippi River — where the U.S. government in the mid-1800s killed hundreds of Dakota people and imprisoned more than 1,600 in a concentration camp.

Increasing autism rates over the last 25 years may just be kids with mild forms getting diagnosed. Rates of moderate to severe impairment due to autism have actually fallen slightly. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

You know, if Jeanine Pirro can’t find sufficiently high proof, nobody can.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

Breaking MS NOW: In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs. The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

More of a culture police action

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Macbeth: SHIT

Can't wait to hear how this is deeply un-American

McMaster University has posted the email written by the professor to Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas, granting her an extension on her assignment. “I’d say focus on the competition right now, and submit it directly to me when it is done” This is a really lovely note.

Happy #SuperbOwl 🦉 Sunday to all who celebrate.

For #SuperbOwl Sunday, an owl-themed painting that is hands down one of my favorite artworks of all time: Singing Cats Led by an Owl, by an unidentified Lombard artist from circa 1700. Looks closely at the mice used as musical notes (and the butt trumpet as well)

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market. Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply. A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.
