This is a fake video. It's AI-generated disinformation. @eviebauer727.bsky.social may not have known it was fake when she posted it, but she's refusing to take it down. So I hope everyone will report this post.

PSA: if you ask Siri for help ordering petit fours, she may instead try to order pedophiles.

"The president had DOJ illegally cover up documents about allegations he sexually assaulted a child after Congress specifically passed a law requiring they be disclosed" is, in and of itself, enough to merit rapid removal from office regardless of how true or credible the underlying allegation is.

This, from @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social is a skeleton key for understanding why James Van Der Beek's family needed a GoFundMe defector.com/the-money-is...

Global Entry saves 300,000 officer hours at 79 ports of entry. Shuttering it is wasteful and stupid. The administration should be focused on real solutions to come to the table and secure ICE reforms, not stupid political stunts to punish Americans.

Has anyone checked Kashi or Predictit to see if there’s been a sudden amount of betting on “if the US will start to bomb Iran during the state of the union address?”

Masterful Troll, TCM.

If only someone in the current Congress had the integrity, moral compass, brilliance, and eloquence of Barbara Jordan. There’s a fantastic documentary streaming on PBS right now. 10/10 recommend.

The problem with killing drug lords is that, unless something more fundamental changes, it's a giant career opening for other drug lords.

Not expecting a blue upset, but @thetraecrowder.bsky.social is right: Talarico is the best shot at swinging the right-wing Christian vote in Texas or at least splitting it in the Senate race, especially if Paxton is the GOP candidate. Whether that’s enough to win is a different question.

No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist. Oh dear Lord.

Is it just me who is seeing extremely successful and highly educated acquaintances and otherwise respected colleagues on LinkedIn still living deep in the Fox News right-wing propaganda ecosystem?

I’m not sure that creating travel havoc as payback for withholding funding for Trump’s Gestapo will have the effect the administration thinks it will have.

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

One thing to understand is that jackasses like me graduated from law school basically believing that, while nothing like <all this> was realistic in our lifetimes, if it did happen, then our Supreme Court with all its flaws would respond roughly like this judge did, maybe 9-0.

Like most folks on the left, I have been celebrating the Supreme Court finally placing some limit on Trump’s lawless authoritarian behavior, and overturning most of his tariffs. But this is much less of a victory than we think. Josh Marshall, as usual, nails it: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dont-...

A handy Bloomberg chart on Trump's options on replacing the tariffs just struck down: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

I wonder if people in this administration understand how badly we would like all of them to go to prison and seize all of their assets.

I'm going to keep shouting this into the void: the governor of Texas should not be empowered to select every regent of every public university system in the state. Students and the public aren't served by putting the state's entire higher ed system under partistan dictatorship.

I was driving through D’Hanis, a bump in the road east of Uvalde and an hour from the Dilley detention camp, and came across these large signs on the fence. Followed by a long trek through the Hill Country, where all the Trump/MAGA flags from a year ago were noticeably absent. /1 #texas

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

This is our best hope: “My wife told me about a plumber out in the burbs offering his services free to immigrants affected by the federal occupation — and truly, when the suburban plumbers are against you, you can be sure you’re on the wrong side of history.”

Honestly sounds more like the direction of the current GOP than “sharia law.” Excellent self-own.

It's neat that there is a Republican primary election in Texas between a guy who had an affair with his staffer who then committed suicide and a guy who has expressed opinions sympathetic to the white supremacist Rhodesian colonialists and called the Civil War the "war of northern aggression"

It seemed like a good day to put out our Talarico yard sign. Made even better when a neighbor stopped to ask me who he is and why we’re supporting him.

Insurers want to protect NCAR: "NCAR has long supplied the foundational capabilities that enable catastrophe modeling and climate-informed pricing. Disruption would heighten uncertainty in risk assessments, and undermine the stability and affordability of insurance coverage for U.S. consumers."

This strategy that amplifies the things they’re banning 10x is working brilliantly

👏 👏

“By God, Woodrow, it’s been quite a party, ain’t it.”

The other night on Jeopardy, two players were tied going into final. The woman in third made a small wager and her answer was, "I hope they both bet everything." They both did, all three got it wrong, and she won. As if that wasn't already hilarious enough, turns out it was all a master plan!

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

“I would launch a crypto scam right now, because there’s no cops on the beat.”

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.

“This concession should concern everyone. A threat to anyone’s constitutional rights is a threat to us all. Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s interpretation of the law, American citizens could be subject to the same treatment.”

Our institutions are distressingly fragile if a judge has to provide basic civics lessons about why the law matters, but this is still worth a read.

It will surprise y’all to hear that there are no “Muslims taking over the state” and there is no “sharia law” in Texas that threatens anyone. This is genuinely disgusting. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

F*ck the person who takes you out for a fancy expensive Valentine’s dinner, kill the one who ignores or forgets about it, and marry the one who takes you to Waffle House.

RFK, Jr. says a Harvard researcher cured schizophrenia by feeding his patient a meat-heavy keto diet. The Harvard researcher says he did not. For busy schizophrenic lovers of beef tallow, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I think we can officially declare Evangelism no longer Christianity, no matter what they may claim

For anyone arguing about whether the U.S. has descended into fascism.

Just unbelievable. Everyone involved in planning and executing this horrendous deportation machine needs to go to prison.
