Insanity. They are laughing at us.

JD Vance: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."

MacCALLUM: But surely, as VP, you'd like to be president JD VANCE: Heh heh hah hah! Would I?

Mike Rounds says Republicans just want to make you show your document with a yellow star in order to vote

oh.... my god?? actual chart from learn.microsoft.com/en-us/traini... btw

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

joyce is going after elon again

the new Republican talking point is that it's insulting to complain about requiring women to show their birth certificate and passport in order to vote because they're smart enough to figure it out

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

BREAKING: FBI notifies Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that it won’t provide access to evidence it’s collected on the killing of Alex Pretti by armed and masked federal agents. Perhaps this would be a good time to note that 187 members of Congress are signed on to Impeach Kristi Noem:

President Obama confirms the existence of aliens before publicly backtracking on his original statement. Interesting.

Noah Rothman on the Epstein files: "It is a witch hunt. It‘s a moral panic."

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

ALFORD: We're not doing the drop boxes, which led to a lot of mistrust during the 2020 election BORIS SANCHEZ: Well, a lot of that mistrust was sewn by the president, who made repeated false claims about widespread election fraud when there was none

There is no constitutional right of law enforcement to detain me, throw me to the ground, and then put five bullets in my back while masked and unidentified. There is a right to vote.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

pretty stunning chart

An official post from the White House. Donald Trump, Vampire Hunter.

This is a nice move in an interview www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs. Peter Thiel.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

State Rep Scott Bottoms (R) says he tipped off the FBI to his claims of pedophile rings at the Colorado State Capitol three years ago. Then his story about the FBI shifted. I asked him about that. He responded with insults.

Trump’s follow up post says he’s going to issue an executive order on voter ID. “If we can't get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order.”

Petition to make "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future" the opening paragraph on every legal brief going forward.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Two of them were convicted drug traffickers. But hey, they were former NFL players so they shouldn’t have to endure those kinds of things on their records. As usual, follow the money.

Olympic athletes retiring at 28 while a slippery shower is a direct threat to 1/3 of the U.S. legislative body.

An incredible turn of events here. 10/10, no notes. 😂

ohmygod what? twitter only has 30 employees now?

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

SHE REMOVED THEIR WEDDING PHOTO LMAOOOOOO Oh she HATED his guts

Rep. Balint: This is not a game, Secretary. Bondi: I'm Attorney General. Balint: Apologies, I couldn't tell.

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

Massie: "Here is an email that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it! Literally the worst thing you could do the survivors you did."

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

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
