Everyone has a favorite Novelty Afroman Song Making Fun of Cops, and I think that's great. The "Under the Boardwalk" parody about the deputy eyeing his lemon poundcake is a delight. So is the ACAB version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic." So is "RANDY WALTERS IS A SON OF A BITCH." No wrong answers!

Just updating the ol pinned tour graphic, as I am periodically wont to do. Come see me out there on the trail. I hear it’s dusty.

In April 2024, the SAVE Act was born as a political stunt to keep Mike Johnson from being booted as House speaker. Today, the legislation has become a very real threat, and it's critical for Americans to know what’s at stake, Marc Elias writes.

For the first time, I am telling the story of the neo-Nazi threats and intimidation that led me to go to the FBI. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/its-time-t...

"'I wanted to thank Mr. Lauro for admitting the emperor has no clothes—the rule of law is dead because the people in this room and the Department of Justice pissed off President Trump,' … said @mitchellepner.bsky.social, a former federal prosecutor …. "Attendees in the conference ballroom clapped."

DHS agents are still here in our community in plain clothes scouting out immigrant owned businesses on Central, knocking on neighbors doors, swapping out licenses plates in cars without registration, and driving dangerously in our community.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣

"I’ve been to the crossroads. I’ve been down to Georgia. I’ve signed agreements with legions of lawyers, living, as I do, in the details, and ended up with the souls of everyone except Daniel Webster, that prig-tastic blowhole. But Donald Trump? Not worth it." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/why...

So how about it, Mr. Chairman? Why not launch a probe to find out whether Fox’s editing issue was “inadvertent,” as they claim — or, as certainly seems possible given the network’s record, “an intentional effort to mislead the American people”? www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/sho...

Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate: ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.

Good speech. Most US press got bamboozled by Bill Barr's scheme. Trump's collusion with Russia was always real, continues to be. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...

NEW: An attorney pushing for the executive order that would grant Trump control of federal elections revealed his effort was based on a 2020 conspiracy theory on voting machines: "Let me tell you that these machines are capable of changing the vote,” he said at a conference of election deniers.

NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective. But none of that matters to Donald Trump — and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US gofund.me/140322128

This week's cover @thelancet.com

wrote about Trump's inflammatory comments directed at the supreme court, which are almost certainly going to lead to ppl sending them death threats. his use of stochastic terror is so normalized now it's barely even discussed. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-supr...

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS

Why isn't this a WAY bigger story? Planning to be retired in 2040? Or still alive and on Medicare any time after that? Good luck with your healthcare.

I think people should know that the person who took the position below is a member of the Texas bar and that her name is Mary Larakers.

Good morning. I watched the State of the Union so you didn't have to. I'm barely hanging on. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/mau...

Oh DID Indiana deputy governor Micah Beckwith's bff & podcast co-host who is a megachurch pastor whose son got a cushy plea deal for CSAM and also sex tapes of his parents tell "youth group members that if they remained pure until marriage, they could later “film themselves” with their spouse."?

After spending the last year wreaking havoc on our communities, Donald Trump yet again spewed lies and attempted to gaslight the American people. We endured baseless claims, shameless propaganda, and the ramblings of a wannabe dictator outlining his plans to steal our elections.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

ICE cut 240 hours of training from a 584-hour program, among them, classes that teach the Constitution, legal system, firearms, use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention and the limits of officers’ authority, instructor says. That seems significant.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don’t give a damn about George W’s “subtle swipes” at Trump. W is a former Republican president, one of the leading Republican names out there, we can all guess what W really thinks of Trump, but his public silence in this age of Trump has been cowardly & such a disappointment.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy around the world. My first, second, and third acts as your next congressman will be to impeach Trump, impeach his cabinet, and codify guardrails to defend our democracy. Join our fight to save democracy here: www.georgeconwayforcongress.com

Chaser: the 15 minute interview Colbert did with Talarico and posted to YouTube. (The FCC should really know who Barbra Streisand is by now.) youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A

("How weird is it that we now live in a world where Walmart is the lesser evil?") It's commie-JVL in today's Triad:

📌 ICYMI — Trump Pardon Buries FBI’s Secret Work for Putin’s Oligarchs The former FBI agent's pardon came after his co-defendant’s daughter donated $3.5 million to Donald Trump https://bylinetimes.com/2026/02/11/trump-pardon-buries-fbis-secret-work-for-putins-oligarchs/

Wow.

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...

I see that only a tiny fraction of you, my Bluesky friends, also follow @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social on here. Why not go follow right now? My guess is the more eyeballs we get here, the more attention we can give Bluesky relative to other social media platforms!

Which means that we need a Congress that can step up and show historic courage by executing the power and the 𝙙𝙪𝙩𝙮 that the Constitution has given it to address lawless presidents and miscreant executive officials: To impeach and to remove them. All of them. (5/7)

My point—the singular theme of my campaign for Congress—is this: Whatever your specific policy priorities and preferences may be, wherever you think the public interest should take us, we can’t and won’t get there unless and until we … (1/7)

Here’s a gift link to a well-written and perceptive story by Robert Draper in the New York Times. He’s 100% correct that the Epstein scandal has exposed the moral rot in America’s elite.

OPINION: "The outrageous lies of Trump regime, from ICE shootings to a Commerce Secretary's Epstein falsehoods, must be punished ... America desperately needs truth and consequences." — Inquirer columnist Will Bunch
