Putting together an analysis of all the anti trans laws over the last few years and there's never been anything like this in US history. The total number of state laws passed in 5 years (300+) approaches the total number of Jim Crow laws (400+) passed over a 100 years.

The Department of Justice has sent a letter to NY AG Letitia James regarding her order to NYU Langone to resume provision of gender affimring care to trans youth. DOJ says they will defend NYU Langone if the AG takes action against the hospital

the thing is, we need products that other countries without oil would make with the oil. not so good at economy, are you, mister secretary

Cool, cool, cool. Any chance you could share these clear objectives with everyone else?

If you are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Memphis, Papa Top’s West Coast Turnaround plays songs of drinking, fighting, cheating, trucking and heartache at Murphy’s. 4 p.m. Come get your honky tonked!

Yeah, there was no introspection among humans prior to 1920. Just ask Hamlet.

JUDGE BOASBERG: “.. the Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime; indeed, its justifications are so thin and unsubstantiated that the Court can only conclude that they are pretextual." @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

BREAKING via NBC News Federal judge blocks subpoenas against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, saying the DOJ has produced 'essentially zero evidence.'

It’s like racecraft, where race, not racism is made responsible for racist behavior. Gendercraft? It’s truly one weird trick that seems to work every time. Murc’s law adjacent.

oh man.

Mad scientist raving about a mad vision of a mad world.

Police Academy 8 (Which is allegedly in the works).

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

Nothing says “clown” like oversized shoes.

I’m briefly in India. This is a facile observation, but Americans have barely scratched the surface in understanding how the rest of the world is reacting to this war. It’s already an Iraq War-style disaster in the global imagination, underscored by the thuggishness and caprice of the Trump approach

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

He declared all of Lake's actions over the past year to be null and void, including the layoffs of more than 1,000 journalists and staffers. n.pr/4sy0uhE

Served in the Proud Boys more likely. It’s the same kind of meme-making the terminally online Alt-right has always valued. Although I suppose there’s nothing Alt about them anymore.

Most of the talk about OpenAI, Anthropic and “mass surveillance” neglected to mention that widespread scraping of the web is in itself mass surveillance.

Just drove by this.

Homeland Security just updated the threat level to “Mile High.” ✈️

We went out to eat last night and were surprised to find ourselves seated just a couple of tables away from Joe and Jill Biden. Joe looked good.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Two Kansans are suing in state court over the new law invalidating trans people's licenses & deputizing bathroom bounty hunters And they're arguing on state law grounds alone Kansas's anti-trans law violates federal law too, but federal courts can't be trusted ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/kansa...

Wonder why Republicans never talk about the Saudi’s body count…

I share this read.

WTF are these bumbling incompetents doing? apnews.com/article/mili...

"Rogan, Schulz, and Von now express reservations & regrets, which is fine & merits some praise & encouragement. But for the kid traumatized by watching his dad or abuelita forced to the ground, handcuffed, & whisked away in a van, the pod-bros’ awakenings come too late." — @schaller67.bsky.social

Labour's swing toward racism is perhaps the biggest unforced error in British political history; burnt their base to ashes and won them not a single vote on the right.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Yep. Not sure it will/can work that way here, but it’s the move.

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

Seems like this ought to be a national story. This is straight-up Nazi shit.

I don’t really drink anymore but I do enjoy a Bullet Rye now and then. But between younger people drinking less and boycotts of American product, I’m surprised it’s not down more.

Augmented by cutting off funding for wind and solar.

This guy gets it. Seriously though, this feels like a moment of transition from the post-911 era into something darker, more Torrian, and more focused on policing American citizens

Feel like it's a run of bad luck for bari weiss how many of her friends and new contributors were tight with epstein.

Serious toddler tantrum.

I’m going to start calling him Ben Gotten.

While Tech Bros are able to medicate themselves for optimal performance, women across the country are in prison because they use meth and opioids to deal with the trauma of poverty, medical neglect, and abuse.

Section 122 and Section 301 can only serve Trump's interest insofar as the goal is *to say we have tariffs*. But these two authorities are not designed for and cannot accomplish the stated goals of the Trump administration *for what tariffs are supposed to do.* www.19fortyfive.com/2026/02/dona...

My favorite thing about Walter Isaacson’s fatally credulous Elon Musk bio is how it clearly depicts a psychopath while asking if psychopaths have all the advantages. Love it or hate it, I feel like we live inside Issacson’s dumb object lesson.

Welcome to the resistance, Neil Gorsuch.
