This is going to be good.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

"Congratulations, Mr. President, on achieving job growth for one month that would have been among the worst of Biden’s term." The voters know it, too. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4kyaJj1

"construction jobs are way up" [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees. "This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

1. The FBI affidavit used to seize ballots and other materials from the 2020 election in Fulton County relies on debunked conspiracy theories. For example, it isn’t true that Fulton first “reported” 511,343 ballots and then “reported” 527,925. I’ll explain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Great job, governors. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The United States is on the cusp of becoming a pariah state, ruled by a spoiled man-child who is increasingly and openly mocked for his obvious failings. It only takes one person to say the emperor has no clothes to give others the courage to act. trib.al/6H5ge4v

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

honestly, encourage this kind of talk if only to highlight how out of touch and absurd and censorial they are. mock them and draw them out. the fun will never stop.

This is what Kagan was describing in Trump v CASA as the fallout of limiting injunctions for nonparties "You're going to have individual by individual by individual, and all of those individuals are going to win, and the ones who can't afford to go to court, they're the ones who are going to lose."

"Take the vaccine, please," Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator whose boss has raised suspicion about the safety and importance of vaccines, said of the measles vaccine. "We have a solution for our problem." https://to.pbs.org/4rYdvkn

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

I don’t know whether the crate of pepper spray recovery supplies inside the door to my office building has been there for a while, and I didn’t notice, or was just added. But it’s very good. And it’s fucking weird.

Habeas cases filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal have taken off to levels we have never seen before. Just look at that chart. www.propublica.org/article/habe...

Current status of the GOP here in the land of the free: People who criticize the U.S. government can't represent the country; people who enjoyed an artistic performance should be prioritized for state punishment.

Congressman wants to round up and deport people who liked Bad Bunny’s show. This is the Republican Party.

tinyurl.com/24x6h9m9. Please read, this is from my small town Minnesota paper, today’s copy. We are under siege here.

“Late Friday night, the Fifth Circuit adopted the extreme minority view—that the government can indefinitely detain without bond millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety.”

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Whoa! Longtime conservative columnist, professional Dem hater, and spittle-flecked Obama/Biden critic Andrew McCarthy has a new piece in National Review ... absolutely taking Trump to task for corruption. Openly acknowledging it's far worse than anything Biden was even accused of.

They sang “American Idiot”

Seahawks by a billion

Reminder when you watch the Intuit Super Bowl ads, they have Super Bowl ad money because they are a successful rent seekers who have worked for decades to kill free, quality, public tax preparation services donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

Guy who remembers when "Trump Accounts" investment funds for children was a progressive Roosevelt Institute project called "baby bonds" www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Freedom 250, the Trump-run group the NYT reports is offering big donors special access, has totally supplanted America250, the congressional org that had been organizing 250th events, as we reported last week .So Trump is turning 250th into a party for himself, with taxpayer $, but no oversight.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Kash Patel stopped FBI agents from investigating Renee Good’s killing because the findings might’ve contradicted their narrative that she was a “domestic terrorist.” We cannot trust a word coming out of this Admin. DHS must allow Minnesotan authorities to investigate, NOW.

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated. I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2062...

Washington Post chief executive and publisher Will Lewis has departed just days after the newspaper announced massive layoffs.

McKenzie Scott, Melinda French Gates, and Laurene Powell Jobs are all far better humans than their one-time husbands were. All putting their money to work in constructive ways that their husbands never did.

That there might be millions of white American citizens who are animated by a deeply felt solidarity with their neighbors, a sense of commitment and responsibility that can’t be extinguished with a bit of violent intimidation, is not something the regime properly accounted for.

52 percent of U.S. adults say Trump has made the economy worse, vs 28% who say we are better off because of him www.gelliottmorris.com/p/americans-...

Yep. The polling data we obtained shows that more than two thirds of young men disapprove of ICE enforcement and oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs and no criminal records:

The day can't come soon enough!

"If we can't measure problems, we can't see problems. If we can't see problems, there's no room for the government to get involved."

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

I'm reading this decision more closely today, and Jones's opinion is extremely bad on the merits, but it's also just so cruel at points.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

“He remembers ICE agents pulling him from a friend’s car outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him & striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he was beaten again.”
