A very detailed explanation of how FBI bamboozled a magistrate into authorizing a raid on Fulton County’s election offices by omitting critical information that would have totally undermined any probable cause claim. Pretty clear-cut case of calculated deception of the courts.

Maybe the Palantir guy who suggested we bring back public hangings was up to something.

Apologies. Posted the same clip on both posts. Here is the “FCC you” explanation from Colbert about WTf is going on: youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?...

I really hope that translates into "The DHS is dead on arrival, then." The GOP giving the Dems the line of "The admin wants us to pick between the Constitution and the DHS" is one hell of a gift.

NEW: A Presidents' Day lesson from Philadelphia. “Each person who visits the President’s House and does not learn of the realities of founding-era slavery receives a false account of this country’s history,“ Judge Cynthia Rufe wrote. This evening, at Law Dork:

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Good!

Kavanaugh Stop

Kaja Kallas in Munich: "The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield." Exactly. For a year, the USA has been pressuring Ukraine to surrender in a war it hasn’t lost, and those

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Three cheers for the sources that give great quotes. And also for @mollytaft.com @wired.com. Link to story below

If Russian propagandists are fantasising about joining forces with America to fight Europe there is something fundamentally wrong with America.

The federal judiciary consists of 3 levels with SCOTUS at the top, US Courts of Appeals (~179 judges), US District Courts (~677 judges). But District Cts even w/ Trump appointed judges have been ruling for immigrants in large numbers. Why? Each level of cts has a distinct institutional context. 1/

Rep. Summer Lee goes step by step on how the Trump-Vance Department of Justice is making it more difficult for her and her colleagues to navigate the Epstein Files and seek justice for victims. @premthakker.bsky.social

⚡️US military aid to Ukraine dropped 99% in 2025, report finds. European countries stepped in to fill the gap, increasing military aid to Ukraine by 67% and non-military support by 59% in 2025, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.

Trump‘s BFF and idol making changes in Russia.

While the Washington Post was giving Pam Bondi a thumbs up for being "qualified" and "serious", Democracy Docket was calling her an "Election Denier." I started Democracy Docket to be unapologetic and pro-democracy. Support its work by subscribing today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

So many horrors. How do we celebrate bringing new lives into this world?

Owning the libs by destroying America as a global leader

anjali is one of the few people on here who is actually qualified to say this

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.

This is a scenario where the Republican caucus in Congress usurps the legal government of the United States. I invite everyone to consider how that ends

I took my time with this one — almost as much time as Jones took after arguments to write her opinion backing Trump — because I think it’s a very important, alarming ruling. So, yes, I hope folks do read this. www.lawdork.com/p/fifth-circ...

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

If you understand the concept of Epstein Island—territory where the rich escape reality and law—you understand the Network State. Crypto, eugenics, fantasies of global control. Was Jeffrey Epstein a godfather of tech fascism? w/ @wajali.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0dM...

Jay Nordlinger is correct.

still one of the most incredible videos of all time. wellness influencers doing woo encountering an indigenous shaman in the jungles of ecuador and he's like "I need your medicine, the tiger balm" and the guy is just like "no you need to get fucking penicillin moron" www.youtube.com/shorts/ecOsp...

Couldn’t resist

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls. The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

As global press freedom dwindles, corrupt politicians rejoice (no paywall)

Spain's Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz: “I have left X. That network is a place of hate. “We are not vassals of Elon Musk or Trump.”

The post-it note that got lost just before the sixth day of creation said Build Back Better.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

French channel TF1 shows an An-28 passenger plane, armed with miniguns, shooting down Shahed drones over Ukraine. The aircraft's crew, consisting of civilian volunteers, has shot down nearly 150 UAVs in total. www.tf1info.fr/internationa...

My first thought was it has something to do with 2020 election Trump lies and obsession.

WATCH: “Sec. Kennedy said he’s against the Rusty Grills bill protecting foreign pesticides corporations.” @brotherjones.bsky.social asked RFK Jr. about the bill keeping sick farmers from being able to sue - he said “I’m against that” 👇🏽 HB 809 has stalled, but is not dead

This is the first one.

This sort of destruction of civil society and citizens right to petition their government has to be prosecuted.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

🚨BREAKING: The Court just granted a restraining order against the Trump administration in my lawsuit, Neguse et al. v. ICE et al. The decision is a victory for accountability, congressional oversight and for the American people. I’ll keep fighting to ensure the rule of law prevails.

“In October, the Republican-controlled Senate confirmed a new intelligence-community inspector general, Christopher Fox, on a 51-47 vote. No Democrats voted for Fox, who served as an aide to Gabbard before taking the oversight job.” Taking “Fox in the henhouse” to new heights.

Important clip here. Non-political people are out on the streets of Minneapolis to defend their neighbors peacefully. Authoritarians and anarchists are lighting fires—achieving nothing and in fact setting back nonviolent efforts. And people like Will are out filming them asking them to be peaceful.
