Wow, Jake Tapper is lecturing us about the term “concentration camps.” Excuse me if I don’t give a shit.

When you stub your toe or bite your cheek, the likelihood of repeating that painful action approaches 1.

Always glad to see a judge acknowledge the reality of what we saw live on TV, day after day.

New air fryer. (AKA small convection oven.) First experiment: hard boiled eggs. Verdict: best hard boiled eggs ever, least hassle. Put eggs in basket. No water. Cook for 12 minutes at 270ºF. Put em in cold water for a few minutes. Peel. Enjoy the perfection.

Turns out Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “Jewish space lasers” are more like “CBP space lasers” in this, the dumbest of all possible timelines.

hmmm

Even if ICE/CBP/DHS does stop the invasion of Minneapolis, this ain’t over as I’m sure all y’all know. Historically, fascists have not taken embarrassment very well. And ICE is about get another huge infusion of cash, from a GOP that eagerly co-signs trashing the constitution.

In Trump’s second term the Republican Party has openly embraced gutter racism, all the way to the top. I don’t think this is something that can be reformed.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Secretary of Health and Human Services for the United States.

The Bob Cesca Podcast: Widespread Twerking #blogpost

At approximately 5:30pm, the Senate will vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R.7147, Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026.

Usually when he starts burbling about “white culture” and “white identity” he’s with people who totally get what he means. He doesn’t have to get any more specific.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

I still remember in Trump’s first term, when the media were pretending there was a question about whether Trump was a climate change denier. Maybe it’s time to stop playing this dumb “pretending not to know” game.

If and when we finally end this horrific criminal Trump regime, there will be immense pressure from centrist pundits and politicians to move on and let the Republican Party off the hook for their huge part in this. We cannot allow that to happen, or it’s the end of the US.

The Republican Party is irredeemable. They’ve shown beyond a doubt that they’re enemies of democracy.

"While Americans should welcome Trump’s rapidly increasing unpopularity and must do everything they can to constrain him, realism requires a recognition that he's all but certain to do everything possible to cling to power — even if he brings the country down with him." — @davidrlurie.com

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

It means disaster, and not just for the US, for the entire world.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

This is a snapshot of the Republican Party in 2026. Totally corrupted, totally dishonest, enemies of the people of the US.

If this is true, which I doubt, they’re leaving behind a city traumatized by needless deaths, widespread property damage, and countless civil rights violations. There must come a time when these vicious criminals are held to account.

JFC!

Fuck civility.

You haven’t lived until several right wing pundits all agree that you’ve been possessed by demons. One for the bucket list.

Epstein Files: stunning incompetence, or deliberate cover-up? I’m going with a stunningly incompetent deliberate cover-up.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

And their explanation for the change is meaningless corporate gobbledegook.

If you hear me screaming it’s because I just heard another right wing jackass use the term “clean, beautiful coal.”

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

What a damning photograph.

My inherent pessimism about human behavior is not ameliorated by having the Trump criminals in charge.

This is how CBS Evening News depicted data showing that less than 14% of ICE arrests involved those accused or convicted of violent crimes, and less than 2% had homicide or sexual assault charges or convictions.

Watched more of Bondi’s hearing, and good fucking grief, that woman is unbelievably horrible.
