Can someone remind me why this is not our guy for 2028? Young, speaks well, drops truth bombs, handsome (sorry it’s an advantage)….??

The administration can try to play the “we did what we came to do, and we’re leaving“ card in Minnesota, but nobody will believe them. It’s clear that their own brutal excesses plus the great courage and resistance of the people, plus a lot of video, forced their hand and made them look for the exit

It’s giving

Breaking MS NOW: In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs. The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

Multiple election deniers are cited in this affidavit by name or can be identified: Kurt Olsen, Clay Parikh & Kevin Moncla. All of them have gone on a QAnon-affiliated show dedicated to election fraud claims. Parikh, who's gone on it repeatedly, even told the channel that it’s "how I get my news."

The only reason you go to the mattresses to keep the masks on is because you know people are gonna find pardoned J6ers and guys on those sex offender lists who couldn't get jobs elsewhere amongst the ranks

My quick take after reading FBI's Fulton County affidavit: it's a bunch of discredited recycled BS peddled for years by election deniers and it's appalling that a judge signed off on a warrant for the raid based on the "evidence" presented here

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

If the WSJ is noticing it must be true www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

What GA is richest in is bad policy/fiscal proposals from elected Republicans. Tax cuts are least responsible use of $14B surplus. Gov. Kemp's idea is bad, House Speaker Burns' idea is worse, and Lt. Gov. Jones' idea is worst. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

All caps emphasis mine: “When Republicans are criticizing the president, when the media calls him a racist, when his polls are dropping and then dropping again, it’s a lot easier to see that FIGHTING TRUMP ON EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME, IS THE BEST STRATEGY POLITICALLY AND FOR THE COUNTRY."

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...

“How could a society produce an elite of this kind?” open.substack.com/pub/persuasi...

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.

We need a court injunction so he cannot do anything to that building.

Two days ago, the president used his social media platform to endorse this "phenomenal candidate" and to urge "all America First Patriots" in the district to get out and vote for her. Today, he says he doesn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it. He's lying or demented or both.

Don’t listen to people who say all politicians are crooks, or that everyone lies. You know who says that? Crooks & liars. They see in others what they are themselves. But most people aren’t crooks & liars. Most people are decent. And we have had enough of these crooks & liars

Utterly pathetic and historically unprecedented.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Hard to pick just one devastating stat from this survey but holy shit

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

They're so ANGRY that we take care of each other, and not just angry. So CONFUSED by it. And that is why we will win

The $40 million that Bezos paid for the Melanie propaganda film would cover the cost of about 200 journalists for a year.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

Media: do not lead with the false government framing of what happened

"What can Democrats actually do?" - Vote against funding for ICE and DHS - State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE - Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Someday corporations and technology companies will pretend they were always against this

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

“I am not convinced that the president is going to be able to move interest rates down. When we talked about a lot of reasons why the Fed just doesn’t pull rates down. I think the president is going to be very effective at weakening the institution, and probably already has.”

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Members of Congress should be openly stating right now that military action against Greenland will result in impeachment and removal of the President and the Vice President.

It whips that not only is this guy absolutely going to get reinstated with back pay thanks to UNIONS but he’s already made nearly $1mil in a GFM which means many, many people are now incentivized to scream at Trump that he’s a pedophile

ICE says they're "looking for individuals with integrity and courage…who aspire to the highest standards of performance…Agents must be in excellent physical condition and able to tolerate environmental stresses." How's that going?

REMINDER: The Trump administration was required by law to release all the Epstein files by Dec 19 and still has not released 99% of the files

A recent Department of Labor post uses a slogan similar to the Nazi propaganda slogan "One People, One Empire, One Leader”

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

“To ICE: get the fuck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite.” — Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

Yup. And that's the whole point of DHS putting out a statement as quickly as it did. The truth of it doesn't matter, the intent is to muddy the discourse

A little more about me and Pulaski, courtesy of an interview I gave in 2025 arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration. It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.
