The Washington Post writes -30- on its fully staffed Ukraine bureau. In related news, Jeff Bezos’s net worth is estimated at $223,900,000,000.00.

substitute teacher losing control of the class because he tried to be cool like them

the Weird Al movie was so good lmao

"Please disregard," he wrote to Epstein. "I just realized the car is a manual and we need automatic.. sorry." www.caranddriver.com/news/a702461...

A tax economist put his entire life savings into a prediction market bet that DOGE wouldn’t cut spending. His wife read the Kalshi comments from the people on the other side and grew *more* confident because “they didn’t seem to understand what they were buying.” He made a 37% return

Dude just will never give up some things, like incorrectly calling it "the Congressional Medal of Honor" and misconstruing "asylum"

Trying to imagine if Obama had tried to tell the story of the OBL raid at a SOTU the way Trump is pumping this Venezuela snatch-and-grab story

really remarkable how trump seems to relish sharing this lurid stories about the terrible pain people have experienced, and he does it exclusively to score some partisan points

33 of the people pardoned by Trump for January 6 have committed more crimes including molesting children and killing people while drunk driving.

Oh wow that was a hard pivot from "religion is flourishing again" to "we need to keep convicts in jail longer"

After pointing at Democrats and saying they are "crazy," Trump says, "We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time." Just insanely destructive. Indefensible — but Republicans stood and clapped.

I get that the MAGA elite think that "stand up for Homeland Security against the eye-legals" is a great ready-made TV ad moment, but the audience that's receptive to that kind of visual feels a *lot* smaller than it was a year and a half ago

Congratulations to the US women's hockey team, who went undefeated at the Olympics, allowing 2 goals in seven games, earning a passing mention in the "winning" section of the president's speech

“…who died after lighting herself on fire last year.”

When things are going great

Hostomel Airport, north of Kyiv, 4 years ago today. A pair of Ukrainian Air Force Su-24M tactical bombers drop 500 kg parachute-retarded bombs onto Russian VDV airborne infantry assaulting the airfield.

Apropos of nothing, claiming asylum is a legal method of entry to the United States. #SOTU

Took five minutes for the first volley of dudes in suits to chant "U-S-A"

Saw this in Discord and it’s amazing

FLAG: Trump-related files are missing from DOJ's Epstein release. There's at least one witness for whom three 2019 FBI interviews are missing. That woman is the same person who, in a 2025 FBI presentation, is identified to have accused Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15.

The Department of Homeland Security’s plans to temporarily suspend TSA PreCheck were conceived by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and her top adviser, Corey Lewandowski, but then pulled back after the White House intervened.

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.

About $1.7 billion flowed from two accounts at Binance, whose founder was pardoned by Trump, to Iranian entities with links to terrorist groups, a possible violation of global sanctions, investigators discovered. David Yaffe-Bellany @pekingmikenyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/t...

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appears to have deleted his tweet after these Democrats responded

From the AP, last year: "Since 2005, the numbers of newspapers published in the United States has dropped from 7,325 in 2005 to 4,490 now....Daily newspaper circulation that averaged between 50 and 60 million people at the turn of the century now stands at just over 15 million."

USS Ford is a couple more months from breaking the record for longest sea deployment since the Vietnam war, back when volunteering for 330 days underway in the West Pacific seemed preferable to the draft

Absolutely gutted by this @ahylton26.bsky.social interview with a first grader who was left home alone for hours last month after ICE arrested her father outside their apartment.

It's really been something watching Rich Lowry sink to the true level of his incompetence over two decades

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

BLEAK. Bleak. I’d been paying attention to Columbia selling out its governance to the Trump admin, not so much its stance on AI. www.columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2026...

wild choice of example

A very happy blizzard to everybody but the guy in the Hannaford wearing a "TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO CHANGE THEIR OIL NOT THEIR GENDER" shirt. Maybe somebody will teach your children the number for CPS

Look, it's simple. You can have guns or you can have butter. Unless you're a gun, in which case how much butter can we put you down for?

They fired David Shulkin in Trump I for accepting Wimbledon tickets

TACO Tuesday comes early in the airport security line

My first defense of humanism has always been "consider the alternative," and well, guess what

That sure was a quick game of calvinball

When people say “race is a social construction” it can often seem abstract. The use of “Judeo-Christian” as a seemingly natural ethno-religious category—despite centuries of anti-Jewish expulsions, pogroms and mass killing—is a good example of a political project constructing identity to gain power.

My goodness, look at all this right-wing political correctness

This is not meant to save money or manpower. PreCheck et al was designed to reduce manpower & streamline the process. This is meant to inconvenience as many people as possible, specifically those who paid directly to support the program.

The American flag on the US side is hung backwards, man, cmon

I still get that tingly danger feeling whenever I hear an evangelical Christian say 'Next year in Jerusalem'

Cmon man what are we even doing here

Spotted in the cards section of DC’s Politics and Prose

Newly released records show a U.S. citizen was shot and killed in Texas by a federal immigration agent last year during a late-night traffic encounter that was not publicly disclosed by DHS.

How wonderful, the snow has finally melted down enough that I can see parts of the yard! Now to take a nice sip of hot coffee while I read this weekend weather report

I keep this image on my desktop now because of how often I have to use it.

"i think the state is bad and the individual is good, which is why i want to create a government that would become an anti-immigrant police state"
