pivot to Venezuela b/c it's Western Hemisphere then Greenland, but technically that's in the Western Hem, now Iran, no wait, Cuba for a second, OK back to Iran, but Cuba is about to fall, no, let's stay on Iran, hold-up, we're sending a ship to Greenland? holy moly what's happening in Mexico...

As it is customary, the CJNG are terrorizing civilians in retaliation for the killing of "El Mencho"; this is a tactic used to promote the idea that they are still "powerful" and create panic. As seen in incidents Puerto Vallarta.

Trump propaganda networks quickly moved to spread disinformation during the Mexico operation against the CJNG, creating panic amongst the population and tourists. The Mexican embassy to the US had to intervene and call out Trump's alleged mistress for spreading disinfo.

It’s a war zone. All over Jalisco and Nayarit.

Mexican Embassy in the US: “American authorities supplied intelligence for the operation targeting El Mencho.”

This looks like a war zone. The military has just deployed a UH 60 Black Hawk armed with a minigun against CJNG positions in one area.

The cartel announced: “Do not leave your homes. All hell is going to break out because of the filthy government. We have orders to kill anyone who gets in our way, and we don't want to harm the people. Everyone stay in your homes until the situation is under control.”

This has gone crazy. Map by El Huaso.

Cartel retaliation has spread across Jalisco. Members have killed police, and set fire to vehicles and buildings in several cities including Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. Gunmen have also attacked Guadalajara International Airport.

Shelter in place security orders and NOTAMs now operating in Jalisco as the military carry out further ops.

SCOOP — Tom Suozzi has a Democratic primary challenger in the NY-3 congressional race. Danielle Welch (@daniwelch.bsky.social), a public defender, has officially declared her candidacy. Welch gave me this comment about launching her campaign:

11-Million feels low. 2024 vs 2025: 1.48M less Canadians flew to the US & cross border vehicle traffic from Canadians is down 7.42M trips. bsky.app/profile/dart...

Last year, the U.S. was the only major destination to see a decline in international travelers. With increased scrutiny at the border, ICE violence and unpredictable policies, the new year isn’t looking better. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/t...

Huge news today out of Mexico. CJNG combatants are responding with narcobloqueos in Puerto Vallarta and seemingly a raid at the Guadalajara airport. Ramifications could be significant.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

Shame on NBC for featuring Trump supporter Wayne Gretzky during Olympic coverage. He's a disgrace. His unaccomplished daughter/idiot son-in-law too for same reason. Anyone who supports Trump must be shamed forever especially those who seem to be proud of their allegiance to the 34x felon sociopath.

Peter Sagal w an excellent recap of SCOTUS tariff ruling (subtly reminding us that yes he’s a smart Harvard grad in addition to having an excellent sense of humor)

A lovely Sat evening reading the Tariff case opinions! Justice Gorsuch’s concurrence is really something. First of all, his tone is that of the star student who volunteers to take over the class for the teacher, because he is best situated explain the subject to his dullard classmates.

We’re moving from one phase of illegal, erratic trade policy — to a new phase of illegal, erratic trade policy. @nationalreview.bsky.social #Section122 www.nationalreview.com/corner/trump...

Multiple vehicles were set on fire outside a Costco shopping center in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, amid ongoing security operations.

Factal news: "Mexican military confirms death of “El Mencho,” head of Jalisco New Generation Cartel and one of Mexico’s most wanted people, following operation in Jalisco."

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau: "I’ve just been informed that Mexican security forces have killed “El Mencho,” one of the bloodiest and most ruthless drug kingpins. This is a great development for Mexico, the US, Latin America, and the world."

Reminder of how they plan to build out and furnish the ICE camps:

$500 billion a year is enough to guarantee a basic income via a negative income tax with a 50% phaseout rate for all Americans, ending poverty and significantly reducing inequality and insecurity.

but we can't afford universal health care and housing for all.

My fear & hatred of our government does not dampen, in any way, my enthusiasm & love of our people, and those who represent US with passion & greatness! Unbridled joy in seeing the US win on a golden goal (bonus having Devil Jack Hughes score it).

A GOLDEN GOAL FOR JACK HUGHES🥇 The United States beats Canada in OT to win its first gold medal in men's hockey since 1980. #WinterOlympics

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)

MeanCat happily accepts the gold medal for men’s hockey that he should’ve won

Good Christ, the only way The Shining could get any creepier:

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

🙄 Back to using travelers as leverage now, even though DHS is sitting on enough unspent money to last multiple fiscal years. They didn’t even stop PreCheck & Global Entry during the last government shutdown because those programs actually require *less* staffing.

This one hits hard.

Strange how these programs seemed to be able to stay open during all previous government shutdowns (including much larger funding lapses). It’s almost like this is just punitive instead of budgetary.

Danish PM on Facebook this morning: “I am happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to healthcare for everyone. Where insurance and wealth do not determine whether you receive proper treatment. The same approach exists in Greenland. Happy Sunday to you all”

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

For the first time on record, ALL of New Jersey is simultaneously under a blizzard warning. All 21 counties, encompassing 564 incorporated municipalities, are included.

I know it’s been weird for a while. But it’s getting weirder.

"Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told Axios on Saturday that several people around President Trump are advising him not to bomb Iran. Graham urged the president to ignore them."

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

The President had literally months to prepare his response to the Supreme Court ruling, yet couldn't even stick with his decision on the s.122 (temporary) tariff from Friday to Saturday, raising it from 10% to 15%.

"when Trump announced the idea of tariffs to address the trade deficit... every economist around the country said: That's a very bad idea, that won't work.... If you look at 2025 as a whole, we have basically the same trade deficit... So I'm going to score this one for the economist, mate."

Cough up, Donald! The Supreme Court said your tariffs were illegal, now pay EVERY American back!
