Update: The White House has taken down the post and now claims a “staffer erroneously made the post” that was shared on President Donald Trump’s social media platform late Thursday night. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt claimed earlier that the criticisms amounted to "fake outrage."

Tim Scott, basically: "Yeah, they've said and done a lot of racist stuff before, but this one is really bad"

Spring 2026 starts today. So there it is!

Started Wonder Man but couldn't get through the first full scene. The show looks and sounds great, but that type of obvious cringe self-sabotage is my kryptonite. And it was so believable and painful.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

God bless Minnesota and the Twin Cities. From Sam Adams to Harriet Tubman to MLK. They embrace the true spirit of American patriotism and rebellion.

Remember (as someone reminded me last week...) Bovino had claimed in court that he doesn't run his own social media accounts, even though it seemed pretty clear that he did.

If you're in that Signal chat, you should start posting excerpts from that NYTimes expose with all the FBI agents mocking him.

I totally get the impulse to yell at people to keep the pressure on, and it's right, but if Bovino really has been sent home, that's a significant victory for the protest movement. Let's not understate it. I'm not saying anyone should be complacent. Just notch the win and grimly move on.

Bovine going is great, but Noem is responsible for what ICE has become the last 12 months.

They’re going to disappear him like this is a PR issue and not a human rights issue.

Them: This isn’t real Game of Thrones. Me watching the best relationship in Westeros:

Wrote this short story when I was 14. It wasn’t good and the idea is of the age.

In Davos, the world is watching an American president’s mind dissolve in real time.

He sounds so very tired.

I won't say that The Two Towers is the perfect movie. Because you should already know that.

Thirty minutes into One Battle After Another and reviewers did a great job not giving up the plot.

Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

Cignetti is gonna be so mad that Oregon out-scored them in the 3rd quarter.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism

This is how it worked with Telegram, too. They created a safe harbor for Nazi terror channels and Google and Apple just ignored the issue and hoped it would go away.

Ed Teach (Blackbeard) in Civ VII is ridiculous.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

It is the position of the Trump Administration that its agents can come into any state and city in America (let alone other countries) and kill people and that state and city have no jurisdiction to inquire about it. Treat any Trump official accordingly.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Happy 2026!

SEC teams that have beaten a non-SEC team in the post-season: Texas

Begging reporters to make this distinction. She did not "cite" the Bible, she *invoked* the Bible. "Citing" is this: "According to the Genesis account, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth'" (Genesis 1:1, KJV)." Just saying "the Bible says" before your claim isn't citing.

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties

My favorite moment in zootopia 2 was when Nick the Fox put on a tux to go undercover and the 20-something behind me whispered to her friend, “smash.”

Wouldn't mind playing that Florida game again.

Poor Aggie. SEC Championship Game is overrated, and you didn't really want to have to play it anyway. Plus, you're still in the playoffs. Well done, little bro. #HookEm

Science People: We at NSF are still recovering/catching up/getting our lives together. But the agency posted these FAQs about post-shutdown resumption of operations which might answer a lot of Qs for you: www.nsf.gov/resumption-o...

"Legal experts point out that this effectively hands Trump the authority to unilaterally execute civilians who are not waging war against the United States in any recognizable sense." Read that again, I had to.

The Texas beats OU, OU beats Bama, Bama beats Georgia, Georgia beats Texas cycle is my favorite quirk of the new SEC.

Going from "woah, Paul Rodgers is looking great for age!" to "OMG, that's Chris Robinson." I really have better things to do than start shopping for fantasy-themed urns.

Well, several blue governments that occasionally elect Republicans did not elect Republicans today. Draw trends and conclusions with care.

Trolling the middle schooler: "What number did they give the chicken jockey?" "Don't do this." "SIX SEVEN" *dies a little on the inside*

Healthy Texas D is making the OU line look like the Texas O-line.

Not sure I believe in fate, but Clemson football crashing as the admin cowers to political pressure is still rewarding.

Can Jimmy Kimmel sue Brendan Carr, or other federal actors, for violating his First Amendment rights by coercing ABC to suspend his show, and maybe eventually to fire him? To teal deer it, yes, but without an effective remedy. /1
