Gratuitous cruelty is the MAGA brand…

God has spoken…

GIFT article Trump's Letter To Norway Should Be The Last Straw Will Republicans in Congress Ever Step In? by Anne Applebaum www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It's like they took all of Donald Trump's fatal flaws -- the arrogance, the dishonesty, the narcissism, the stupidity, the vanity -- and compressed them into a perfect diamond of disphittery.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

People who are ok with beating cops on the capitol steps for a lie are accusing you of political violence.

Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C. www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

I am told that, by pushing my way in despite Vatican objections to see a very ill Pope Francis, I have his death on my conscience. That is not true. I have no conscience. by J. D. Vance

Who says the GOP doesn’t believe in integration??

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

😡😡

Morris is a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, and Gateway — one of the nation’s largest megachurches — has been particularly active in politics. In 2020, Trump held a “Roundtable on Transition to Greatness” there that was attended by then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr…

“Did anyone think this through?” Why do people still bother asking that about this regime?

BREAKING: irony dead.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

Mexican drug cartels are eager to have larger denominations of US currency; it makes smuggling cash easier.

Kash Patel should have been a redline. Bongino is what you get when R Senators fail to do their jobs and say no to Patel. The Trump Admin is turning federal law enforcement over to unqualified, unprincipled, partisan henchmen. It's unacceptable and conservatives need to say so.

Purim is coming…

In things that you absolutely saw coming, Federalist and Daily Wire writer who accused drag queens of being groomers arrested for child molestation. www.dailydot.com/debug/aaron-...

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

MAGA: Making America do a Gaza Anschluss!

Who had The Cato Institute joining the Resistance?

Hey @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - This is how you speak about it. But you also have to DO SOMETHING.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus while vowing to call Trump's trade war bluff on CNN just now, "This isn't gunboat diplomacy (laughs). I mean, this is like an Al Capone shakedown in his syphilis phase."

Won’t the broken windows make it cold in the Rotunda?

In the past week, I have streamed Backdraft and half a season of Station 19. Here are my critiques of the Los Angeles Fire Department’s wildfire response. 1/37….

This photo of the Mexican firefighter who rescued a kitten would look great on posters at the anti-racism rallies that will be needed when the Jim Qrow Party starts its legislative agenda.

We can talk about his face in a minute, but check out that chyron.

Can Elon Musk be prosecuted for official acts he committed while president? This Supreme Court Justice says “no.”

Headline: Journalism Fails Again

These stats are even more remarkable when you consider that Colorado is where Lauren Boebert lives. Birth control lowers abortion rates, not policing women's bodies.

Does “Trump” stand for The Republicans under Musk Party? Sure seems that way!

President Musk's latest budget deal crashed and burned faster than a Tesla

Mongol emperor Genghis Khan killed over 30 million people in Asia while siring as many as 1000 children. Could tech entrepreneur Elon Musk do the same thing in the United States?

So Friedrich Merz may be the next Chancellor of Germany. Cue the I Love Lucy jokes, for those old enough to remember and still young enough to be on BlueSky… www.yahoo.com/news/friedri...

Did someone tell ABC that you can’t spell Presidential Library without L-I-E?

Watching the people who were tortured by Assad…. And my anger for @TulsiGabbard defending him grows hotter. Every senator that votes yes on her is complicit

I wonder how this is working out for people? www.wsj.com/real-estate/...

An op-ed in the Courier Journal notes that three of the four neo-Nazi accounts recently exposed by the @texasobserver.org are followed by U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, who had a Confederate flag flying from his home when it was under construction about 20 years ago www.courier-journal.com/story/opinio...

Trump said that rioters on January 6 had "no choice" but to assault police officers If any Democrat in the country publicly justified the assault of a police officer it is all you would ever hear about for years www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump doesn’t know the difference between Syria and Ukraine….

Maybe @CFPB can put its name in the cover letter…like Trump did (wasn’t that with the Covid checks)?

A reminder #itwasntalandslide

In a displaced person center in post-Holocaust Europe, a resettlement worker asks an old man where he wants to live. He says “Australia”. She responds “Australia? But it’s so far!” He asks: “so far from WHAT?”. Well, it’s not as far as it used to be… www.timesofisrael.com/melbourne-sy...

Dems beat Trump by a lot more in 2020 than he beat us in 2024, and the GOP didn't hand-wring about the need to find common ground with us. They treated us like enemies of the entire country and a critical mass of voters were convinced. "We need to compromise and accommodate" is not the lesson here.

I think Trump sometimes serves to launder awful things about us. For instance: when Trump calls explicitly for extrajudicial murder, we can pretend that’s an outrageous norm violation by Trump, as opposed to a mainstream fascist American view he’s just acknowledging. apnews.com/article/dona...
