Even for those who support deporting millions of law-abiding immigrants who've been here for decades - a view held only by a small minority of Americans - the administration's cruelty should be abhorrent. America is in moral collapse. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/o...

1) Talk about a Strawman, @thefp.com does an entire piece on Dem resistance to voter ID when Dems already accept voter ID. The issue is proof of citizenship - barely mentioned in the article - which would disenfranchise millions who-- Why Voter ID Is Common Sense www.thefp.com/p/why-voter-...

Wow. Gallup polls can never be trusted again. And to think they entirely destroyed their credibility just in time for Trump to go down.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

Best description of the moral rot Epstein has revealed. He was a creature who could only have thrived in our neoliberal era, when our institutions' leaders have been so corrupted by greed and self-interest. Only a great movement of reform can save us. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

Now there is multi-state proof: NON-CITIZENS DON'T VOTE. It's not just illegal for them to vote. THEY DON'T DO IT. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/o...

Shameful misinformation by @washingtonpost.com Editorial Board. Police DO NOT release criminals in order to help them avoid ICE, as implied below. They simply don't cooperate with ICE, which is allowed under federal law. "Blue States Banning Cooperation with ICE Will Backfire" wapo.st/49XOorB

1) Trump had the right to end the Temporary Protected Status program, but taking it away from people who've already built lives here is intentional cruelty. These people entered the US legally. And for the record, crime in Springfield, Ohio was unchanged-- www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

Stop asking if they’re “rigging the election.” They. Already. Are. But the most dangerous part isn’t the mechanics. It’s the message. They’re doing it in public to make you swallow the real lie: That voting is pointless. If they can get you to quit before Election Day… they don’t even have to win.

It will be hard for Bezos to surpass the two most hated billionaires in America, Zuckerberg and Musk, but I must give him credit - he's trying very hard.

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

1) Douthat picks an interesting moment to rail against liberalism's failure to suppress "vice" in our society. Rending his garments over porn, pot, and gambling, he fails to mention our billionaire overlords' three-decade orgy of debauchery, rape, murder, and-- www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

The destruction of truth is now a crisis. At the very least, AI images must be labeled as such, and carry criminal penalties if not. Society will not survive if people cannot perceive truth from falsehood. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/t...

David French, a conservative, deeply religious man is screaming into the void trying to warn us before it's too late. Trump's multi-faceted plan to steal the mid-terms is already in play. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

Emerging Epstein files are like a super slo-mo video of a nuclear explosion. The mushroom cloud is just starting to form, but wait until that blast wave hits.

Lot of folks took issue with @nytimes.com doing a piece on Bovino's Nazi-looking coat. Turns out if the coat fits, wear it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

Turns out QAnon was right all along about pedophiles. Just talking about the wrong people.

1) The alarming pattern grows clearer: --"Fucking bitch." --Pretti incident begins with ICE throwing two non-obstructive women to the ground, pepper-spraying them. --Ends with ICE agent standing six feet away--

Once again @nick-carmody.bsky.social puts the terrifying pieces together. I personally doubt Trump will be well enough to run again in '28, but that doesn't mean the organization(s) he's creating won't have a plan to seize power anyway.

Just a reminder that two million Epstein files are yet to be released. Pam Bondi says 100's of US attorneys are hard at work processing them. In other words she has no intention of releasing them.

Conflict entrepreneurs tell us America is on the verge of civil war and riddled with crime. The reality? 70% of Americans agree on every major issue and crime is at its lowest point since records have been kept. Why are these people trying to destroy us? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

Hmmm. It's important to keep an eye on 60 Minutes because its extremely popular, and has its own culture. If Bari Weiss toys with it, and starts bringing the standards down, that will tell us she's ready for radical changes in CBS News as a whole.

Renee Good was STILL ALIVE when EMT’s arrived 13 minutes after the shooting. 10 minutes after a doctor was kept from treating her by an ICE agent saying, “I don’t care.” Shot in the chest not the face. Might have survived. Good God. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Trump says if we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will. Which is why NATO was created of course, and as long as NATO exists, Russia and China won't invade. But Trump clearly wants NATO dead. True alliances don't fit his Darwinian "Spheres of Influence" view of the world.

After we won our lawsuit forcing ICE to allow oversight, my two visits to 26 Fed have revealed dramatic improvements because oversight works. Sec. Noem's move isn't about safety. It's about cover-ups. Why is "the most transparent administration in history" afraid of congressional oversight?

The catalog of ICE abuses in Noah Smith’s article is staggering.

Remember that what they want is for us to give them an excuse to declare martial law. Please protest non-violently. Make them look absurd, as we've been doing. It's working.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Trump has no interest in Venezuelan democracy; he prefers the viciously corrupt regime in place. Maduro was only arrested to make room for someone more pliable. And Machado, the elected leader, would never cooperate with Trump's plan to take control of Venezuela's oil reserves.
