Organizers are calling the State of the Swamp event “The Rebuttal to the State of the Union,” with the Portland Frog Brigade tweaking that to “The Ribbital.”

Nah. He demeans himself every time he breathes.

Josh Marshall: “Today's decision is simply one of those cases where the Constitution happens to coincide with the Court's partial and illegitimate self-interest.”

Ben Palmer set up a fake tip line that people could use to report anyone they thought was an undocumented immigrant. What began as a comedy routine has become one of the most viral pieces of social satire during President Trump’s deportation campaign.

GDP in Q4 was a putrid 1.4%. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Nailed it.

But it's "newsworthy" to treat AOC like a fucking dumbshit because she said "um"

Four journalists, including three working for the Associated Press, were detained in Cameroon while reporting from a facility where migrants deported by the Trump administration are held, according to two lawyers.

A Ground Level Report on ICE’s Gulag Buildout

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. Quite a return on investment, huh?

President Trump has pocketed an estimated $1.4 billion since taking office. It’s egregious. My Presidential Conflicts of Interest Accountability Act will prevent the President and VP from using their positions to enrich themselves and crack down on conflicts of interest. Stop the grift.

Trump and Republicans are pouring billions of your tax dollars into ICE raids and crackdowns, while gutting Medicaid and SNAP. Families are getting crushed by rent, groceries, and prescriptions. They chose fear and cruelty while working people are paying the price. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

Rep. Randy Fine is facing calls to resign after making an anti-Muslim social media post in which he suggested that he'd choose dogs over Muslims. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that Fine is “an Islamophobic, disgusting and unrepentant bigot.”

"the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children"

The FCC is powerless to restrict protected speech, and any attempt to intimidate broadcasters into self-censorship undermines both press freedom and public trust. I once again urge broadcasters and their parent companies to stand firm against these unlawful pressures.

CBS is fully protected under the First Amendment to determine what interviews it airs. That makes its decision to yield to political pressure all the more disappointing. Corporate interests cannot justify retreating from airing newsworthy content.

Radley Balko: The Democrats' demands to "reform" Trump's immigration thugs aren't reforms at all. They're already the law, the Constitution, and widely accepted police practices. And in a free society, they'd never be negotiable.

@cooleyoneurasia.bsky.social and @dhnexon.bsky.social argue that the Trump administration’s foreign policy is “fundamentally kleptocratic.”

CBS shows what authoritarian capture of the media looks like, writes @chrislehmann.bsky.social. Stephen Colbert, at least, is pushing back. https://bit.ly/3MuEjtm

Oh look, it’s someone who reexamined what the politics looked like and what his role was going to be.

Well played.

Read and share all over..he nails it

The Bari Weiss hire, who appears in the Trump-Epstein files 1,838 times, wrote in a 2016 email: “I go into JE withdrawal when I don’t see him.” www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Welp

During this exchange Josh Hawley seems to be very concerned about politicians profiting from fraud and protecting child traffickers Does anyone want to tell him

Donald Trump is thanking our Veterans for their service by eliminating their abortion care—even in cases of rape, incest or health concerns. Women servicemembers experience higher rates of sexual assault and fertility issues. This latest betrayal of our heroes must be reversed.

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured? Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

I only met him once. Disgusting person, never wanted anything to do with him. Well I stopped by his private island. But only because I was boating past it. And did business with him. Disgusting person. Good businessman. Nice island.

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

This is why we must #ImpeachThemAll

TFW you realize for the millionth time that it's all right out there in the open. "The right people voting, electing the right leaders." Because she's the best judge of that.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Rep. Jason Crow on Rubio's Munich speech: "Not only did he say things I found disturbing, what was also important was what he did not say. He never mentioned Russia once. He never mentioned China once. There was historically revisionism."

The Salem woman suffered concussion, other injuries in ICE stop at the end of January, advocates said.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Note the framing here: It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

"The plan’s $38 billion budget is more than the total annual spending for 22 states, according to state budget data." Dems should not only pay a dollar for this monstrosity - in the future - they will need to claw back all that money and the entire $75 billion Rs appropriated for this monstrosity.

People are asking what they can do to help Minnesota. Come to our state, because it’s a beautiful place. Meet our people. Support our small businesses. Take in a concert. For months, Minnesotans showed the world that we are all neighbors. As soon as you visit, you’ll understand.

Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state department spot Jeremy Carl gets grilled by SEN. TIM KAINE: “You said American whites are victims of a cultural genocide… are they represented in the senate? House? Presidency? CEO’s?”

Homeland Security is said to have sent Google and Meta hundreds of subpoenas for information on accounts that track or criticize ICE.

As if Putin possessed some magical power over Trump...

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.
