Henry IV, Part 1 and Macbeth

Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse. n.pr/4rUa1zD

I’d fall and break a hip going down that ladder.

A majority of the posts in my Discover feed are of cats. I must be doing something right.

If you're wondering about US Capitol Police's opinion on Senator Tim Sheehy after he attacked a protesting veteran that they were in the process of also attacking... they gave him a patch. This is what the Capitol Police think of protesters. Remember j6th with that in mind.

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

Fucking outrageous

Such a great response.

Yesterday, Rodney Sadler defeated state Representative Carla Cunningham in a North Carolina Democratic primary. Cunningham had provided the state GOP with the decisive vote last year to pass a bill forcing compliance with ICE. Read more about the race:

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

This will age as well as when @brianstelter.bsky.social wrote that tweet saying women shouldn’t be worried about Republicans going full Handmaiden’s Tale. Then they banned abortion. And he deleted the tweet and never referenced it.

I love how the "you're overreacting" idiots never ever ever learn.

those 85 schoolgirls will never kill again

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

The blue checked MAGAs over at the bad place are pushing hard for everyone to call their senators to pass the SAVE voter suppression act. Let's make sure they're not the only ones being heard from.

Hahahahaha!! Can we just get Mayor Mamdani to ask Trump to release all the Epstein files? I feel like it would work.

I just finished a re-watch last night. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it. David Milch’s masterpiece. #Deadwood

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” is now closer to the release of George Gershwin’s “Summertime” than it is to today 😬

0h, my heart.

She wrapped that up with a quickness

We were so close too. 🤡 @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2026/02/23/t...

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Huh. Trump said he could solve this conflict quickly back in October.

It's no coincidence the Epstein files are full of billionaires; yet we were told to look for monsters in drag shows and border crossings.

Perfection

Nothing better than baby goats to cleanse the timeline.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

It’s pouring right now in my neighborhood.

15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage. I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong. Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole. Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you... (Photos AP)

On Stephanie Ruhle’s show, McKay Coppins had the perfect description of Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski: “Petty tyrants in over their heads.”

And so concludes another week w/ no news briefing at the Pentagon. The last on-camera briefing was held for an alternative right-wing press corps more than two months ago, on Dec. 2. The press space has been mostly vacant since the traditional press departed in October.

No one should ever forget that if this country had elected Kamala Harris, Renee Good and Alex Pretti would be going about their daily lives.

What an unsurprising bit of news.

This is Dorian. He refuses to come inside from this rainstorm. Just really wants his mom to watch him jump in puddles. 13/10 good job buddy (TT: kirstengarrison)

Love to see it.

"All these beautiful things that I love, and I used to define myself as—a father, a provider, a husband—all that got taken away, or at least paused ... I had to sit there and say, 'Well, what am I?' And it was, 'I'm still worthy of love.'" This broke me.

“It’s a solution to a non-existent problem. I don’t see where this is doing anything to help voters. It’s only going to disenfranchise people,” says an Ohio election official about the state’s new ban on grace periods for mail ballots.

“Tapestry” turns 55 today. 🎂 “I wasn’t thinking about making history,” said @carolekingofficial.bsky.social. “I was just trying to make the best record I could. I had been writing songs for other people for years, and this was my chance to sing them the way I heard them.” “It’s Too Late”

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists. That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...
