"a criminal investigation into 2020 election results in Fulton County, Ga., was set off by a leading election denier in the Trump administration and relied heavily on claims about ballots that have been widely debunked." Wonder who that could be...🙄

NEW: Two weeks ago, the FBI conducted an unprecedented raid of Fulton County’s central election hub to acquire 2020 election records. Now, the county said in newly unsealed court filings that the search was "designed to intimidate" voters and may have violated numerous constitutional rights.

It sickens me this is occuring in the United States...

Deleting Donald Trump, Letter By Letter. open.substack.com/pub/america/... When he's gone, he should be remembered like Haman. With whistles and noisemakers to blot out his name.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the abused, the marginalized, the sick, the hungry, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

Wasn't WAR GAMES supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a blueprint?

How many Maga folks do we think are gonna watch the #bunnybowl because the TP one sucks but they'll tell themselves they're hate watching and complain the whole time bc it's in Spanish

Why the Resistance Matters Anti-authoritarian “neighborism” and cross-racial solidarity from below are a massive problem for the regime, exposing Trumpism’s structural weaknesses and ideological blind spots. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵 steady.page/en/democracy...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I have bad news, Congressman, about the other 91% of the time

How can any prosecutor worth his salt suggest in light of evidence like this Epstein did not run a sex-trafficking ring? Todd Blanche needs to step down. And Patel. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

"We will revitalize IMLS and restore focus on patriotism, ensuring we preserve our country’s core values, promote American exceptionalism and cultivate love of country in future generations.” Like our belief in our own exceptionalism hasn't already caused us to create havoc in the world...sMH

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

Whew, this new ending to the updated story

She never should have been confirmed.

Musk will have to testify over his role in shuttering USAID, a judge has ruled. The DOJ tried to protect Musk from testifying, arguing it would “intrude on White House activities," but as Musk wasn’t a secretary or agency head, this reasoning doesn't excuse him. trib.al/EGROKkN

The Factbook survived the Cold War and became a hit online. It mixed quirky cultural notes and trivia with maps, data, and photos taken by CIA officers. But it was discontinued this week.

"Refusing to test the blood spatters — which may never have happened at this point — amounts to covering up a potential murder, one that may implicate orders the White House issued."

Redistricting between censuses and gerrymandering for political gain sucks and should be ended but FAFO.

The grift is endless and is undermining the foundations of our republic.

This week at Group Threat, I spoke with @grundrza.bsky.social about Florida's censorship regime, teaching under authoritarianism, and how folks are coping (or not).

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

Trump posts racist video about the Obamas. Karoline Leavitt dismisses criticism as "fake outrage." Tim Scott calls it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House." White House deletes video. @ericalgj.bsky.social @bellakwai.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

There is a special place in Hell for Karoline Leavitt, for attempting to spin her bosses blatant racism as something that DOESN'T actually "matter to the American public.” Or does she not think Black Americans count as "the American public"?

Q: Why/how has Bannon avoided blowback for his chummy ties with Epstein? Is it that so many journalists, across the political spectrum, value him as a source? Someone please enlighten me!

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

This is a small issue but I do think it's endemic of how the mainstream press is treating everything: giving the TPUSA Kid Rock "alternative Super Bowl halftime show" the same weight as Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl, like the former will get even 1/100000000th of the audience of the latter.

My name is Trump, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

It's hilarious that Trump is lazily going through the motions of the National Prayer Breakfast as his cult is planning to erect a literal golden idol of him.

Welp. Expect "accidental" tear gas in long lines and whatever else. Everyone saying "I'll vote so hard" completely ignoring the normies who aren't terminally online that just want to vote after work who might not want to deal with this. Maybe Chuck should help THEM out, Mr kitchen tables

I think you know the answer. The “negotiations” have been an excuse to hold back necessary equipment and aid.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I feel a piece coming on about being young woman at a Hambrecht and Quist tech conference in the late 80's...

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

So electing a "businessman" will help fix the economy for working people? More like put in the fix himself and his billionaire buddies.

Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic" 1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property 2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention 3) No masks 4) No secret police: Officers must have ID 5) Keep enforcement away from

Is this what the youts would call Dickmaxxing?

Remember ICE shooting two Venezuelans in Portland last month alleging they were members of a Venezuelan gang who weaponized their vehicle when agents tried to apprehend them? Total BS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I agree with this, but, and this is important, I really also wish we had listened to the law students who spoke out about his sexual harassment, and about his wife (Amy Chua) enabling and threatening those who also spoke out about it.

Just what women LOVE to hear a guy with a fraction of their intelligence tell them - that they should smile more. 🙄

Spanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it. They need to get the fuck out.

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...
