A happy superb owl to everyone who celebrates. #OwlbearCub #mtg #MagicTheGathering

In other news, Amber Glenn's life is about to get a whole lot more Magical.

Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids

Oh hi! Promoting inclusivity and Magic? You have a new fan.

Some Olympic athletes commonsensically and even eloquently distinguish love of country from approval of Trump administration actions that are a blight upon the country. Trump and MAGA squeal and whine. Bullies are the most fragile snowflakes.

Wait ‘til he hears about the guy who reposted it.

Opposition to President Trump’s policies abroad and at home has followed the U.S. Olympic team to Italy, forcing athletes, coaches and American fans to respond to — or sidestep — the backlash. trib.al/sKjBCfN

2017 email shows Jeffrey Epstein telling Michael Wolff that dinner guests were “concerned about dementia” after being with Donald Trump.

Republicans want to increase the defense budget to $1.5 trillion in 2027. That defense budget alone would add an additional $5.8 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.

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

It’s insane that the Trump admin wants to double the already massive US military budget in just 2 years when we are not at war. Trump’s DOD budgets are a cesspool of corruption and grift for the military industrial complex, scammers and grifters, including Donald Trump, Jr.

Everyone should call their local election officials and ask them what they're doing to prepare. Our governors should deploy the Guard to protect polling places from voting machine and ballot seizures.

Mark Warner: "I do not believe that Director Gabbard is competent for her position. I don't believe she is making America safer…She has been totally inappropriate showing up on a domestic criminal investigation in Georgia."

"I wouldn't buy green bananas if I were you" is going to live in my brain for years

ALERT: "The intelligence in this case is as least as dangerous to our democracy as the Ukraine call was in 2019.” I will sit down with the Gabbard whistleblower’s attorney TODAY at 12 PM PT. This might be one of my most important interviews. Link: youtube.com/live/P3TvfMI...

Happy Bad Bunny Day to all who celebrate.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

And never forget. These are asylum seekers. This is what the USA is doing to the most vulnerable people on the planet who we promised to protect.

If ICE gets even one of these facilities fully up and running, it’ll immediately be the second-largest jail in the country behind only Rikers Island.

Brian Allen Pete Hegseth complained that the Pentagon sent officers to Harvard to study strategy and leadership — and they came back “too Harvard,” with “globalist, radical ideologies.” In other words: The military sent people to learn diplomacy, history, and international law.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Members of Congress will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted digital version of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein on Monday morning. Members of Congress — but not their staff — upon 24 hrs notice, may take notes but can’t bring in any electronic devices.

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. The only thing we/you <know> is that the US military, at Trump &/or Hegseth's orders, just murdered more civilians on the high seas. We don't know it was "a suspected drug smuggling boat" & we have absolutely zero reason to believe anything they say anymore.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) reacted to Trump personal attorney-turned Deputy AG Todd Blanche discussing the DOJ's intention to appeal the judges decision releasing Liam Ramos. "Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?" he posted

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

I swear the only thing I remember with any clarity of the Redwall books was the unbelievably deliciously described food.

Sadistic, violent liars.

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

Doesn't just apply to seniors, I'd bet.

3 hours left to get in on this! Let's gooooooo! 🔥

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Renee Good’s vehicle after an immigration agent fatally shot her, but Trump administration officials ordered them to stop investigating. About a dozen prosecutors have since resigned, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

“The f*ck are we doing?”

Yup. Starmer might fall over this, folks. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

International travel rose 4% in 2025 around the world It fell 4.2% in the United States Trump take tourism www.jezebel.com/trump-crushe...

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

Friday night news dump: Trump just opened a marine national monument to commercial fishing. Environmentalists worry that fishing in the area could damage sensitive ecosystems and habitats for endangered whales and other species. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/c...

Like his Confederate forebears, Ted Cruz talked a big game, started a fight, got absolutely dog walked, then cried about how unfair it all was. A story in four images.

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

everything is terrible so here’s the swedish chef doing rapper’s delight

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)
