“The court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the US government to comply with court orders.” New ruling by a federal judge as ICE & the Trump admin refuse to obey courts.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

matt thinks a jobs program for people released from prison is some kind of newfangled woke non profit thing. the guy simply does not follow policy and isn't interested in doing so.

It's so funny watching our socialist GOAT continuously dogwalk the president.

Wow! Weird how this KEEPS HAPPENING with Jesse Singal! It's almost like he has some kind of agenda or bias. Isn't it interesting that a perception or assumption of a pro-trans bias disqualifies you from writing about trans health, but an anti-trans bias doesn't?

UPDATE: Judge Royce Lamberth has set a hearing on this motion — alleging violations of his Feb. 19 court order — for 2:30 p.m. today.

Republicans on the cable shows this morning -- Suddenly talking again about need to "take" Greenland -- Hyping importance of "strangling" Cuban government -- Encouraging Trump to "topple" Iranian regime The Trump movement is totally out of control. This will not end well.

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

Note: Susie Wiles has known they pulled her phone records since 2023. Kash probably learned in 2022. This has been PUBLIC since 2023, bc if Jack Smith learned precisely how Wiles was managing legal representation, he had her phone and Signal records. This is just theater bc Kash is in trouble.

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Thinking about how during Trump's first address to Congress, he wondered aloud what the country would look like in 2026. trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-st...

The biggest news of the night is that Trump’s effort to steer control of CNN to a lackey by threatening the corrupt use of regulatory power is moving closer to reality. www.mediamatters.org/cnn/trump-es...

next dumbass manosphere comedy podcast that has hegseth on has a chance to do an amazing bit by surprising hegseth with a bench loaded to 315 and asking him to do a rep, like carson ambushing uri geller www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD7O...

I was going to write something about the State of the Union address today, but Jonathan Bernstein did a way better job of nailing it:

Jesse Singal is back to spike the football on the backs of trans youth. Congrats man, you got care banned in most of the country, families are fleeing the country, and trans kids are killing themselves. Happy now?

The Trump family fleecing suckers. It’s what they do.

The State of our Union is that we have a convicted felon and pedophile in the White House, protecting other rich & powerful pedophiles while strangling the Constitution and orchestrating the largest transfer of wealth to the ruling class in American history. The End. I saved you 3-6 hours tonight.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

the media repeatedly described the candidates' immigraiton policies by ascribing biden/harris's actual policy to trump, not explaining trump's actual policy and falsely saying biden/harris's policy was "open borders"

You still have the right to go into the post office and get a same-day postmark at the counter. If you have any doubts at all about whether you'll make the deadline, add some extra time to go into the Post Office, go to the counter, and get your voter registration or ballot hand-stamped!

Breaking MS NOW: An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

also noise pollution in the U.S. is almost entirely from cars and it’s literally giving people heart attacks I wrote an article about it because it’s so absurd

Russia launched its full-scale invasion exactly four years ago. If anyone had told us, during that first month, that this would be the situation four years later, we would have instantly called it a massive Ukrainian victory and a staggering Russian defeat

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
