we are Jeffrey Epstein we carry the plane we fight for the island we honor Ghislaine

I will never for the life of me understand why so many ppl on the tight subject themselves to extended periods of having to listen to this mans unhinged ramblings. Truly the most pathetic cult in existence.

In one of Trumps increasingly rare moments of lucidity he acknowledges that he is destined for hell

I just generally think the antidote to dooming and feelings of helplessness is getting involved in any way. It can be as a poll worker, doing ICE watch, running for local office, helping with mutual aid, whatever. You can get so much accomplished in your town or city if you just get involved.

100% not being the "the online left is just three libertarianisms stacked in a trench coat" allegations

very weird “I am Spartacus” thing happening right now with the worst people on earth

I know we're all bundles of fear and rage but I am begging some of y'all to "touch grass" and by, touch grass, I mean volunteer as an election judge or with local Dems or league of women voters, FFS. YOU have power. Use it. It will make you feel less scared.

The past 6-8 months on this site has deeply convinced me that a *lot* of ppl who pretend otherwise have absolutely zero idea how elections actually work as a process or how the infrastructure for them is built/maintained.

there will not be “swing states” in november. there will be, depending on national conditions, anywhere from 25 to 75 competitive House races. they will be in states led by republicans and democrats, and the key voters will likely be people who swing between the parties.

one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

A quarter of the "Mass Deportations Now" party thinks ICE has gone too far. This is a good time to remember that a handful of Republicans in Congress could end this at any time.

The kayfabe of this website is that Big Accounts get fed Axios Bullshit (sometimes it’s from the New York Times) and cite it to say the thing they wanted to say all along, that they’d say no matter what.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

One of the main asks of Congressional Ds rn is to require federal agents to be visible & identifiable in public. For the wrecker crew online this is simultaneously both a feckless ask & also something Ds cant even bother to do. The goalposts always have to be moved to wherever they can stay anti-Dem

Schumer posted this last night. #2 is a pretty straight forward "No masks: prohibit ICE & immigration enforcement agents from wearing face coverings." Its worth asking why these ppl feel the need to constantly poison the well by lying about what you can verify for yourself w your own eyes.

Just a bunch of dudes absolutely committed to being miserable. We could see what language appears in a bill that could come up for a vote, or we could do this.

If we want to keep earning back the trust and support of voters, we have to listen to them. That’s why we’re launching the new voter contact operation, Local Listeners, to reach out to hundreds of thousands of voters. These 1:1 conversations are how we win in 2026 and beyond.

I really fucking hate it when reporters ask him questions like this in this way bc its basically an invitation from him to be naughty by doing this sort of "teehee we'll see!" shit that they use to get more clicks and views.

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Funny that

BREAKING: BRAD KARP OUT AS CHAIR OF PAUL WEISS.

>North Korea having troops on the ground >>American tech companies shirking sanctions left and right >>>China providing a bunch of money to kill Ukrainians “But have you considered escalation?”

So why are they sucking up to this one?

Kelly Ayotte is mad about the process but unsurprisingly has shown no actual opposition to this new ICE concentration camp.

well here's one news story about the thing I've been obsessively tweeting about for days (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

Epstein: you well? Richard Merkin: Fair ..and you? Epstein: all good with trump lots of opportunity January 8, 2017

Boris Nikolic: When are you back in NYC? Epstein: 4th im in palm with all the trump boys. . fun Email from December 25, 2016.

trump has been the beneficiary and the product of elite failure for longer than i have been alive

we are a decade into trump as a politician and everyone with any power to push back on his abuses continues to stick their head in the sand about how he responds when you don’t

Keep on not believing them, man. Keep it up all the way to November.

Only in the internet, you can posture rank laziness as being Intellectually Superior. You kinda can't unsee it everywhere once you realize

Everything DHS said about Chicago & the people who live here is a lie. DHS even continues to defame CBP shooting survivor Marimar Martinez months after it was proven that everything they said about her case was false.

Well Compensated Pundit In “If The Facts Don’t Support The Discourse, That’s The Fault of The Facts” Shocker

A collection of narcissists, sociopaths, and degenerates. No wonder so many of them like Trump--they see him as a fellow traveler.

not only that, I was saying it as part of my argument that *Trump's own justification for attacking Venezuela makes no sense*. it would be like if i said "the bush admin's justification for invading iraq makes no sense" and this site was like "how dare you insult the noble iraqi bioweapons program"

In November 2020, the (dumb, baseless) theory was that this involved Smartmatic. It’s useful to reiterate that no matter what lies the incessantly lying Gabbard offers, there’s no evidence that there was anything suspect about the election AT ALL, much less Involving some conspiracy linked to VZ.

mad libs-ass timeline

The fact that Karl's ban was only temporary is a real black mark on this site.

Again, he can say this shit all he wants but the federal government has no role in the administration of elections. And the more he says it a) the more he indicates how badly he's pissing his pants over November and b) the more Govs, AGs, & SoSes of blue states will be prepping for any nonsense

I have no doubt they're going to try everything they can, but they literally don't have the guys to pull this off. And the more this starts to look like a blue wave, the harder it's going to get for them to engineer something different.

softer tone!

Contrary to what my mentions looked like after posting that Klobuchar landslide poll, Klobuchar's still really popular among Democrats minnesotareformer.com/briefs/klobu...

The CIA World Factbook, a reliable source of information about the countries of the world, has been publicly available since 1997. It is now going away. Please consider supporting @wikipedia.org and @ourworldindata.org. The world desperately needs trustworthy data. www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

as soon as you become a political correspondent in America they take you into a little room in the White House and hit you on the head with a mallet until you lose the ability to retain long-term memories.

@josephpolitano.bsky.social summed it up pretty nicely last month

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
