Welcome to the Plutocracy

Suss it out, Chad. It’s one hundred to infinity. So mindful, so demure. #MAGA.

It feels weird that there's all of this vigor about calling reps and protesting about ICE and Epstein but the vaccine stuff is just hopeless.

Today, I learned: Open AI fired its head of safety for objecting to porn -- no, wait, excuse me, for "discriminating against men"; Anthropic's head of safety quit to study the poetry his company hoovered up from the world's library; and Trump said to every stinking factory, smoke em if you got em.

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow. @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Bud Cort. Legend. RIP.

BREAKING: Pam Bondi appears to have just committed a federal crime by lying under oath. Ted lieu just caught her in a lie and called for her resignation live on TV.

💔💔Thank You to the World Leaders who have expressed their condolences on the tragedy that hit my Province of British Columbia yesterday. Even President Zelensky sent kind words to Canadians, yet crickets from trump.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

It's funny because it's true...🤭🤣

minnesota is still being terrorized by ICE. it hasn’t stopped and from local reports has gotten way worse. it isn’t making major headlines anymore and we know why. ABOLISH ICE !!!

My heart aches for everyone. Police are being cautious about releasing information. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

What's it going to take for someone to throw a net over this guy?

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right? LUTNICK: I don't know K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level? L: I don't know K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

I know a ton of Holocaust survivor descendants in PA whose families haven’t registered dissent or opposition. Hey #PAJews, does this goy need to call you out??? #YourNameHere

The commercial said Ring have tech to find lost dogs. But that tech is far more sinister than helpful for people. This is the best summation I’ve seen so far. bsky.app/profile/hey-...

FfS, he was the president.

Bad Bunny… Makes Super Bowl History With Record-Breaking Halftime Viewership of Around 135-141 Million… 🌎🔥

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Absolutely worth watching with @jkbjournalist.bsky.social youtu.be/7awbgL_BP_k

That’s absolutely the intent, and I would encourage people to ignore every bit of that nonsense. I’ll crawl over broken glass to vote these idiots out of office, and I hope all of you will too. I worry that if ICE tries to prevent people from voting, we’ll be looking at actual violence.

Stelson: Scott Perry is the most vulnerable extremist in the country. If we don’t win here in Pennsylvania’s 10th, we are not going to win the U.S. House—and we must flip the House.

I've written about the overarching post story, causes, underlying pattern. But the failure of Lewis or Bezos to even show up, literally or figuratively, on a day of devastating cuts epitomizes the profound lack of character and accountability that is so common place today within the American elite.

TRUTH: Trump never changed the Republican Party He exposed them As inhuman, racist, misogynistic, anti-immigrant, anti-semitic, homophobic & heartless hypocritical rot: Harm children Fuck children Kill children NO PROBLEM! Thx @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Officer accidentally discharges rifle during search at Lake Nona Middle School, Orlando Police say

When a political party answers a charge of racism with a body‑shaming insult, they’re not rebutting the claim — they’re advertising their values. This is what it looks like when cruelty becomes the brand.

While the core of the Epstein saga will always be his web of sexual abuse and the women and girls who were preyed upon, each new set of messages released by the US justice department reveals his ability to fulfil the wants of some of the world’s richest and most powerful. ft.trib.al/ph0hcin

Trump is trying to change the narrative. Yes, he is a vile racist but he is also a predominant figure in the Epstein files and that will never change. Release all the unredacted files and expose and prosecute the abusers.

I’m glad Jeffries came out swinging on this one. Trump is an unrepentant racist and his posts should not be normalized.

Incredible stuff from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/igno...

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files. What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable? We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Right now they need to get out of Minneapolis & really reevaluate what this agency agency should be. Kristi Noem needs to be fired, by the way. That's a good starting point here. And the senior leadership there, the ones who have implemented these policies, these people need to go"

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

It's real, real, real bad. Make SURE your elected officials know. @wyden.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
