Pitch Perfect

Made me actually snort laugh. How many MAGA who cannot “understand” Bad Bunny are now experts in the intricacies of ice temperature for the luge or wind resistance in ski jumping?

The best part from a great thread on the turmoil at the @washingtonpost.com The clicks aren’t coming because they have nothing worth reading now. I say that as a FORMER WaPo subscriber who read and relied on it daily.

No notes

My mom said she heard that Megyn Kelly was moved to tears by Kid Rock screeching and lip syncing during that weird little MAGA Super Bowl halftime show. She then said “I wanna watch her cry.” 🤣

Ghislaine Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right today and didn't answer questions about Epstein and Trump, including this one posed to her by Rep. Ro Khanna. But this question must be answered:

Best take I’ve seen so far on the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime. Probably no coincidence that Shay is both a former football player (Colorado Player of the Year in high school) AND a current artist.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

This from @marionicolais.bsky.social ... folks should be really concerned about the failure to follow judges' orders.

The White House did a dishonest y-axis so I fixed their y-axis for them, you’re welcome White House www.howtoreadthisch.art/lets-conside...

I took this video of a Lakewood, CO PD Officer HELPING protesting students to cross a busy street safely. This is what it means to “pretect and serve.”

Democrats spent a decade banning gerrymandering in blue states and trying to ban it nationwide. Republicans blocked the national ban and kept gerrymandering red states. So excuse me if I don’t give a fuck about Republicans crying that Democrats are fighting back.

Pardoned J6ers continue their crime sprees across America.

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Coloradans have had enough. So we’re joining the fight. #ColoradoDrawsTheLine. Join us. youtu.be/Y_k7h9OlSiw?...

If ever there was a time to make someone spontaneously combust.

Yes. A must read.

The best part? Ending with the Trumpian: “Thank you for your attention in this matter.”

I cannot stress how dangerous this will be. We are headed toward a place where voters no longer have a say in their government.

Didn't this happen in My Cousin Vinny?

That’s my guy! Proud of my law school classmate.

Apparently the Department of (In)Justice defines “victims” as the ultra-wealthy men, not the young girls they raped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

New in PN: Guns for me, but not for thee "The larger lesson of Pretti’s murder is that when it comes to guns and gun rights, most defenders of Trump’s proto-fascist police state clearly believe the Second Amendment exists to protect conservatives but bind liberals."

YAS!

A few weeks ago @lincolnproject.us had the @dropkickmurphys.com on our podcast. Today, I was listening to @rageagainst.bsky.social "Killing in the Name." Got me thinking: what would be a killer lineup for an "ICE OUT" Concert, Live Aid style? Drop some thoughts! www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4-9...

Federal judge again sides with Crow, Neguse in allowing unannounced inspections of ICE facilities trib.al/6fupz8I

BREAKING: Georgia is suing to get their ballots back.

I was curious where ICE and CBP agents in Minnesota were deploying from, so I looked at OPM data. What I found is that their duty stations are almost universally redacted from the public data. www.pbump.net/o/where-are-...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

I kinda like co-opting this just before Americans across the country tune in to the World Cup. FYI - “I believe that we will win” is a U.S. National Team anthem traditionally sung by the American Outlaws at U.S. soccer matches. I know cause, well, see my profile pic. 🤣

This is courage. Refuse to be silenced.

This is funny.

I won’t stop reporting the truth. The First Amendment is the bedrock of our democracy, and I’ll continue to fight to protect it 🤝🏾🇺🇸

The Lemon Song Trump never had a whole lotta love for journalists, but since they started singing an immigrant song, he’s wanted to deport them over the hills and far away to Kashmir or D’yer Maker. Better than Kristi Noem, who wants to shoot them like a black dog. by Maureen Dowd

I’ll add in all those that keep our schools clean for our kids.

Given that this guy is impersonating the FBI Director, can we really get mad at the dude here…

Has Kristi Noem characterized this dude as a “domestic terrorist” yet? Thought not.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

The defund ICE law should be named the “Pretti-Good Act.”

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT

I hate the Pats with the fury of a 1,000 subs. And this still doesn’t make sense to me.

30 days from now: TRUMP: “I’ve never even met her. But she did a terrible job because she was alive while Biden was president.”

This is the democratic opposition party in Italy protesting against ICE involvement in the Winter Olympics in Milan

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

I can only hope this dude meets the same end as Sean Penn’s character in “One Battle After Another” The rest tracks so far …

Go and take a seat Habba.

Just sick

There are multiple names for this: Aiding and Abetting Obstruction of Justice Impeding an Investigation Curious, if a law enforcement agent went to arrest him and saw that he had a gun, world that officer then be justified to shoot him 10 times?
