"ATLANTA — Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr issued official guidance Friday reminding lobbyists and lawmakers that bribery and extortion are felonies punishable under state law." Yes, we're really at the point in this timeline where this reminder is necessary. www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Not to be punny, but that's not a good sign of a healthy economy.

I'm old enough to remember when conservative conspiracy theorists were outraged, claiming that the Government was using abandoned Big Box stores to house detainees in Operation Jade Helm. Trump is doing that exact thing, and the right wing is silent. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Now why do you think DNI Tulsi Gabbard would bury an intelligence report about Kushner, the son-in-law of the President who took $3 billion from Saudi Arabia, and who Trump tasked with "solving" Gaza? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

“You have a right to protest in the street, but that doesn’t give you a right to go into the Capitol and disrupt Congress.” --OH GOP Congressman Jim Jordan during a Wednesday hearing. Note: Jordan is a vociforous supporter of the blanket pardon Trump issued to 2,000+ January 6th insurrectionists.

MAGA's choice to lead the national health and medical system. Sheesh.

More lies from ICE after they shot another US citizen who was legally carrying a gun. ICE falsely claimed the victim drove at officers; body cam footage undermines their claim. abc7.com/post/video-s...

I love how emphatic the judge is in their opinion blocking Hegseth from court-martialling Sen. Kelly and others. Judges rarely use exclamation points.

A reminder that this misogynist white nationalist has dined with the President, at his request, multiple times. This is the type of advisor Trump seeks out.

This is what the wealthy used to do with their wealth: fund charities, support the needy, build libraries, etc. Allen, Melinda French Gates, and MacKenzie Scott lead the way. They are the philanthropic wealthy class our forefathers had imagined, not Trump and Musk. fortune.com/2026/02/09/w...

Great analysis: GOP/Trump tax cuts will cost the US budget $4.7T over 9 yrs. Trump's tariffs will only generate $3T over that time (and Trump's already promised the revenue would pay for other programs). Even the rosiest forecast has a $1.7T shortfall. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/b...

Can we not overlook the part of the story where the US Department of Defense allowed the Department of Homeland Security to use a military weapons system within US borders ... on a party balloon? apnews.com/article/faa-...

Note that in the heart of this story, Pete Hegseth's Dept. of Defense mistook a party balloon for a hostile foreign drone and used a multi-million-dollar defense system to destroy it. www.cbsnews.com/news/airspac...

Job growth fell 83% in the United States in 2025, according to the Trump Administration. How is that making America great again?

I'm cracking up at so-called pro-American MAGA crying because the NFL is marketing the quintessential American sport to foreign, non-English speaking markets.... to make money. The Government, they say, must censor the league. MAGA's white America is clearly anti-capitalist and pro-fascist.

From self-righteously boasting that you avoided Epstein in every instance because you sensed Epstein was "disgusting," to admitting you took your young children and another couple's children to Epstein's private island. Why does Harold Lutnick still have a job? www.cnbc.com/2026/02/10/l...

Prepare for a torrent of halftime show reviews from rightwing snowflakes who were too scared to watch the Bad Bunny halftime show. All these artless MAGA believe they can psychically judge the entertainment value of something they didn't watch. Ignorance is a blessing to MAGA.

So the actor who rose to fame after he starred in a movie in which a misguided computer nearly started a thermonuclear war is now trying to sell us on using AI. Seems like a long game.

In the Pantheon of Great Super Bowl Halftime Performances, there are: 1. Prince 2. Beyonce 3. Left Shark

The pre-show game has been very “meh” so far.

FAMU, a prestigious HBCU, is barred from using the word "Black" in its promotion of Black History Month events because of Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis's overreaching anti-DEI mandates. MAGA are racist in simultaneously stupid and cruel ways. www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...

They're shooting people and then lying about it to the courts and to the public. This lawlessness must end, and accountability must be restored. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

... and lost in the shuffle is the fact we never got the details of the Concept of A Deal for Greenland Trump touted just weeks ago. Plus, y'know, the Epstein files. And the destruction of the East Wing. And a half billion dollar crypto deal. Oh, and remember we invaded Venezuela last year.

Good. Hopefully their life expectancy shortens precipitously. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

With the premiere of the Melania doc flagging, I can't wait until the inaugural American Petroleum Institute Cinema and Arts Awards are announced in the fall.

If you're wondering why Dems should stand pat on shutting down the gov't over defunding ICE, remember this: In 2025, the GOP funded ICE to the tune of $75 billion, ranking it the 8th richest national military in the WORLD: 1 US 2 China 3 Russia 4 Germany 5 India 6 UK 7 Saudi Arabia 8 ICE 9 Ukraine

Another Trump failure: the US trade deficit increased 95% month-over-month as consumers and businesses stockpile foreign-made goods to hold off Trump's tax increases--I mean, "tariffs." It's a repeat of when Trump lost his first trade war as deficit rose 25% by '20. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/b...

“Agents in Alex Pretti shooting placed on leave: Live updates.” Just now? Days after the execution?!?! www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

I think we have two options: (A) Get the MAGA Republicans on board with Trump's claim that people shouldn't carry guns in public and pass a gun control law, or (B) Get the NRA to fund an effort to oust Trump via the 25th Amendment for trying to undermine the 2nd. Win-win, right?

"I don’t let bullies win." We can't let the bullies win. Ever.

In advance screenings in the UK, "Melania" has sold fewer tickets than her current husband has felony convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nero had a fiddle. Trump has a ballroom.

I have an idea: Now that Republicans are blaming the death of the Minneapolis man at the hands of ICE thugs on the fact that he was carrying a gun, ... let's get the GOP to sign on to a bill banning open-carry of guns. If they think people with guns on the street are so dangerous ICE can kill...

Those betting sites' ads that praise fans who are "in on every play, every drive" because they're engaged in games their teams aren't playing in? Those ads are praising gambling addicts.

US Congressman assaulted. Number of times reported on Fox "News": Zero. Why? He's a Democrat. Fox encourages violence against Democrats. people.com/florida-rep-...

EXCLUSIVE: Concept of a design for the Board of Peace headquarters released.

A reminder that three weeks ago today, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth launched a military invasion of Venezuela to oust its preside--I mean, to seize its oil. Just three weeks ago. Trump's TACO on Greenland pushed that out of the news cycle. Let's not forget it for the new impeachments.

To summarize the week, in a message to the PM of Norway, Trump threatened to invade Greenland, which he repeatedly referred to as “Iceland” in a speech in Switzerland. By the end of the week, an exhausted Trump praised his "concept of a deal" after being scolded by world leaders at Davos.

Note and block this pedantic conservative troll.

This was a public execution by a group of thugs who believe they are immune from punishment.

A witness on scene says ICE broke the van’s window, attacked a man inside, kidnapped the driver, and left his underage cousin alone on the side of an expressway. www.wmar2news.com/news/region/...

I need a function on my phone timer that tells me what time it went off and I silenced the alarm but forgot to do the thing.

They don't want trans athletes to compete in women's sports, but they're okay with a spoiled white man taking a woman's medal. Sheesh.

This is truly insane. Schoolchildren are traumatized each time they do an active shooter drill. Same with the adults in the school. Trump’s goons are intentionally raising the fear and anxiety for these kids, and terrified kids mean terrified parents. Trump wants us fearful, but we are strong.

ICE is terrorizing schoolchildren in the Twin Cities again today

Block the propaganda.
