The SAVE Act is a literal poll tax for married women who changed their last name.

Governor Kathy Hochul was having a pretty great week. Then the Brooklyn Democratic Party and its chair, Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, did what they do best: sow chaos and confusion and create perplexing drama. hellgatenyc.com/bk-dems-unen...

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

Reporting from @themarkup.org and THE CITY exposed how the bot, touted by the Adams administration, repeatedly served up false and damaging information. www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/30/m...

In an upset that rattled Republicans, a Democrat in Texas decisively won a state legislative special election on Saturday in a district that President Trump carried by more than 17 percentage points just over a year ago.

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge futurism.com/future-socie...

The parents of Alex Pretti have retained a former federal prosecutor who helped Minnesota's attorney general convict the police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's neck of murder. https://to.pbs.org/3ZA2HfU

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture. This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal immigration officers tried to enter Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis but were stopped, foreign minister says www.axios.com/2026/01/28/i...

No wonder they wear masks.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

lmao, land-speed record for fastest leaked audio

NEW: Federal judge directs the acting ICE chief to appear in court and threatens to hold him in contempt for ignoring court orders.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

if CBS and the Washington Post both gut their newsrooms this week, that’s the nail in the coffin for the “just find a nice billionaire and settle down” theory of media preservation

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

Gov. Hochul's Uber-backed bid to lower auto insurance rates in the name of "affordability" will disqualify some crash victims from compensation and make it harder for them to sue drivers. But Hochul is instead framing the proposal as a war on scammers.

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was walking through the parking lot of her aunt’s St. Paul apartment complex when she found herself surrounded by 12 agents. Ahmed, born in the USA, says she showed them her I.D. She was forcefully detained and jailed anyway for more than 2 days. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/s...

Yet another top aide to former Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on corruption charges, this one accused by federal prosecutors of demanding kickbacks from vendors for his promises to arrange lucrative municipal contracts.

Trump must be taken literally and seriously. Remember how people downplayed the threat he posed before January 6?

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms. www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

I can guarantee you an increase in CBS rating if you let me launch just one show: "Randomly Selected Members of the Audience Kick Tony Dokoupil in the Nuts"

UPDATE: Jack Daniel’s parent co. Brown-Forman tells me it has nothing to do with CBS’ “Whiskey Friday” concept. “Jack Daniel’s is not involved in any such segment, nor do we have any awareness of the segment and any potential partnerships or sponsorships.”

NEW: Far-right Zionist group Betar US will disband following an investigation by NY State Attorney General Letitia James into the group's "violence against and harassment of Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish activists" and failure to register as a charity in NY despite soliciting donations.

“we will bring Elon back into the Dem fold” no break him

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it. Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.
