A refresher on what Rubio once said about the Jan. 6 insurrection that Tarrio helped provoke: "3rd world style anti-American anarchy" “disgusting” “unpatriotic" “inexcusable” "national embarrassment" "one of the saddest days in our history"

“Stop the Steal” advocate who joined lawsuit to disenfranchise millions of voters in 2020, played a key role in the Jan. 6 plot, and then refused to honor officers who defended the Capitol is now going after successful DC pedestrian safety measures because he didn’t plan ahead on Inauguration Day:

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

This is why we need big newsrooms with lots of reporters who can dig into things. www.niemanlab.org/2026/03/with...

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran. And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program? This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

WSJ: “.. U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information say the Trump administration’s assertions about threats from Iran are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/middle...

this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's cliché to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

Wow—here's some info to spread around: MPD announces at this month's DC PAC meeting that starting soon, MPD will be enforcing the law regarding license plates that are obscured with plastic covers. It is an *arrestable offense* that will be fully enforced. *Any* covering. Not just a ticket—arrests.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

It took nearly a year for this killing to become public, so one can only imagine that far more have been killed by ICE/CBP agents than we may ever know.

Again, maybe the most depressing aspect of the past decade has been that it’s made it impossible to avoid recognizing that a terrifyingly large minority of our fellow citizens are just flat out evil.

“Gaza’s coastline alone - $50 Billion of value” At Trump’s Board of Piece circus, Billionaire Marc Rowan (business partner of Leon Black who is all up in the Epstein files) grotesquely discusses Gaza as a real estate deal they all plan to make obscene amounts of money from

2026 basically

congrats to DC on achieving statehood

“Readers should be able to assume that every word between quotation marks is what the speaker or writer said… The writer should, of course, omit extraneous syllables like ‘um’ and may judiciously delete false starts.” -NYT ethical guidelines

Ask your nearest CEO what they’re favorite food is and see what they say. If they are all about Soylent and supplements as a way to fuel their productivity but have no interest in the beautiful sensation of food itself, BE WARY!!

Pol Pot killed 3 million people. Vought and Musk have him beat three times over.

So far it looks like Trump, Noem, and operation metro surge drained Minneapolis alone—not yet counting St. Paul, Bloomington, etc.— $203 million. This was a MAGA Trump assault on an American blue city. Nothing more. Start seeing it. www.fox9.com/news/operati...

An American-made hunger crisis. A worsening cholera epidemic. Our reporters journeyed to some of the places most devastated by Trump’s dismantling of foreign aid. They spoke to hundreds of people who witnessed and experienced how political appointees cut programs in arbitrary ways:

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

Dentist: Have you been flossing? Me: *deflects by consulting my burn book of dentist insults* Big talk from a guy who looks at tongues all day

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

I just wrote about two recent NYT articles that create a misleading picture of public opinion by centering Republicans and suggesting ICE reform proposals are unpopular. www.findinggravity.net/the-new-york...

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to Acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons: "People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist. If you don't want to be called a fascist regime or secret police, then stop acting like one."

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

"okay, just don't mess up referencing the Armenian Genocide" challenge: impossible www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

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.

The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.” But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public! substack.com/@gelliottmor...

The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it. Here's a running thread of the people and organizations who want Senators to VOTE NO on S.J. Res102: 🧵

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure. Her whereabouts & health are now unknown. The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

some things are actually getting worse here.

If you can read these letters from kids detained at Dilley and not feel sick to your stomach then something is broken inside of you. Absolutely vile what we’re doing to children in detention. But I guess when you’ve got a government filled with child abusers this horror makes perfect sense.

This was that first frightening video in which masked men grabbed her off the street on her way home. Now masked men are grabbing people off many streets every day. Many of the charges are dropped, only after harms to those who are kidnapped.

Rep. Stansbury after coming out of the Ghislaine Maxwell deposition: „The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States, and Donald Trump is right at the center of it.”

Jamie Raskin said he reviewed an email sent from Epstein to co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell that was a forwarded conversation between Epstein’s lawyers and lawyers for Donald Trump. The DOJ (illegally) redacted Trump's name in the public files. What else are they hiding?

Haha cool man you have the same face tattoo as a convicted rapist

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

Becoming more and more convinced that Bezos entered a quid pro quo agreement with Trump, where the quo is “destroy the Washington Post.”

And never forget. These are asylum seekers. This is what the USA is doing to the most vulnerable people on the planet who we promised to protect.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.
