I am pretty sure this means the attack will take place AFTER the close of the market on Tuesday.

@anthonyryan.bsky.social I really like this sentence from Road of Storms: “To bring it to life, we must harness it, convert the essence of faith into an animating force. But no two souls ever believed in the same god. Welding such disparate and ancient echoes into a single purpose is…difficult.”

Trump is a cuck.

Meta: "Let's change our name to Betacucks Corp."

Alternative headline: "Trump Administration Sees Another 3-6 Months of the Its War on Iran."

Hint: all of the obstacles boil down to Iran's threats of force in response to Trump's war of choice. Businesses are not as cavalier about their employees lives as Trump is. www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-...

Is marKWAYNe statutorily qualified to be acting secretary? I think the answer is no. And if Mullin is Trump's nominee, that's one more disqualifier. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

if there is a "primary contradiction" in today's politics, it's a battle between those who want everyone to live the full life that they chose, versus those who want to control us in order to make sure we don't.

Trojan hospital ship. Genius!

Does anyone really care about what Nate Silver has to say? If so, enjoy wasting your time reading this gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/o...

If you don't yet subscribe to and support Mother Jones, now would be a great time to step up and do so. They have been sourcing a lot of important and timely stories over the last several months. If you still have some money in the subscription budget, Wired is doing great work these days, too.

Good decision. Thank you for your service.

Walz’s only proper response is “NUTS!”. IYKYK.

Trump’s Death Squad (TDS).

So, does this mean Trump is asking to be subject to house arrest in Switzerland, i.e., there’s no going back to the U.S. for Trump?

“There is no AI in fail.” Oh. Never mind.

Law Dork is well worth the minor expense of being a subscriber. As a lawyer, I know that Chris knows what he is talking about, and he brings receipts to support his incisive analysis. Top notch content.

"Just the tip." LOL. (I know there's more to the quote, but Lizza didn't need to say "just.")

She ain’t wrong, which is fucking sad as hell. Why can’t we elect a woman as president? What is wrong with us?

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Who votes which way is theater. What matters is Schumer guided his caucus to reward Trump's bad behavior, and he will only be emboldened the next time. I will never give to Schiff or Padilla again, and I will support primary challengers.

Trump grabs Dems by the pussy. Dems: That's my pussy! Hands off! Trump: Let me have my way with you, or I will make it so tens of millions of my constituents starve and lose their healthcare. Dems: Take me! I'm yours! Pathetic.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov If Senate Dems vote to end the shutdown for only the promise of a vote on healthcare, I don't care if my CA Dem Senators vote against it, I am voting them out the first chance I get, and no more money to Senate Dems. Show a spine.

The face of a dementia patient taking a dump in his Depends. Be thankful nobody captured the smell.

Trump’s Arc de T’rash.

@stevevladeck.bsky.social As a paid subscriber to One First, please consider making Bonus 184 generally available. Most people don't understand how much judicial decisions assume a functioning Congress, and I am worried SCOTUS is going to dodge the tariff issue by declaring it a political question

We did not go from the Western Roman Empire to feudalism without intent. We did not go from feudalism to capitalism without intent. Somebody intends to transition from capitalism to something even worse. Pay attention.

Someone should do an AI video of Biden dropping money on Red States followed by Trump dropping incendiaries to burn it all up.

This is pretty dark, dude. Also, the fact that we are unaware of objections does not mean objections have not been made.

The White House claims Trump “has the heart of a humanitarian.” My question is whose heart? Has anyobody confirmed that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner is still alive and with her heart intact? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

More sarcastic Judge Immergul: what part of no did you not understand?

Seriously, subscribe. Well worth it.

Yep. This is the whole game. Republicans can end the shutdown today by doing away with the filibuster, but they need the filibuster to argue Dems are to blame for the shutdown. The GOP is using the filibuster as both a sword and a shield, and Dems are fine with it.

Let us know how that “fight” turns out, Senator. The only reason you can pretend to be fighting is because the GOP Senate is pretending the filibuster rule, which they can change at any time, is still in effect.

It is still avoidable you preening fool. The GOP senate can kill the filibuster today. Call on them to do it, just as they did for another issue less than two weeks ago. Make them own their destruction. You don’t have to pretend to play chicken. Call them out, loser. Y’all suck at politics.

What she says:

The Democratic leadership's relentless focus on healthcare costs normalizes the much larger problem of Trump's lawlessness. Fucking stupid pieces of shit.

The Keystone Klan.

This x1000.

Trump routinely revokes validly issued visas. As soon as he receives the money, what will stop him from revoking EB-2 visas and deporting the visaholders, once they have been declared "undocumented"?

Flexing its newly-discovered inherent powers of inequity, the activist, reactionary majority indicates its intention to blow up its own legitimacy by throwing stare decisis into the dustbin of history. And for what?

Trump needs to put Kash Patelf back on the shelf where he belongs, monitoring MAGA children. #KashPatelfOnTheShelf Tiny little cross-eyed dude clearly never got over being bullied.

No lies detected.

We don’t need Kirk’s assassin to be MAGA, and even if he is a “leftist” (seems less likely than MAGA), it doesn’t matter because he is white heterosexual Christian male, and according to MAGA, their transgressions are not attributable to white males generally. They must all be insane lone wolves.

A question I have now that the killer has been found: was Charlie Kirk’s murder political violence or just plain old violence? The victim was political, but when Rand Paul’s neighbor walloped him, nobody called it political violence.

Given our complete lack of knowledge, it is irresponsible to even imply that Kirk was assassinated by his political opponents. Kirk was influential but not consequential. His death only benefits the American right, who are itching for their own #Kirkstallnacht. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-assass...

No, they won’t ask any of those questions because it is broadly accepted, with no evidence, that Kirk was murdered by a “leftist,” and nobody in MSM is going to challenge that framing, so Kirk will become a martyr regardless of who he was, what he said, or who killed him. #Kirk’s-tallnacht

We are witnessing what will become known as Kirk’s-tallnacht. My bet is he was killed by someone on the right who wants to accelerate political violence, but the fact that Trump doesn’t care about having the facts means we may never knowledge the facts. He just wants the ultra-violence.

Trash people proving they’re trash and clowns. Mock them mercilessly, these fucking masters of the universe sucking Trump’s mushroom cock.
