So the president is sending in 2,500 Marines as the first ground troops deployed in this war, but that's not going to lead to any further escalation? We've heard that exact same claim before, right down to the specific 2,500 number -- Vietnam, March 1965. Remind me, how did that wind up working?

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

Never let America forget that soldiers are dying to procure (checks notes) exactly the deal we had before Trump abolished it.

“I broke it now you fix it.”

Strongly recommend this as a brief but chilling summary of how the Doge Bros blew up all the grants that seemed to favor equal rights for all Americans. 6abc.com/post/doge-de...

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

You know, at this point, if this happened in his next presser it really wouldn't surprise me very much. theonion.com/pete-hegseth...

Truth!

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

Only in the sense that the people who launched it without a plan or objective all get pretty defensive when criticized.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

the same bros that think the US could successfully prosecute a land war in Iran think they could win a point off of Serena Williams at tennis

Take a seat MAGA!

We really do live in Gilead now. Every woman I know is scared.

The Onion has made a foray into theology, and somehow I suspect that they might've gotten it right.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women. As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us: Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Pay attention.👇

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Now suppose that the hypothetical person below were mentioned in the file Chronicles of Goat Fucking over one million times. Maybe, just maybe, he's a goat fucker.

We need Michael de Adder. Today and always.

Evil.

Ultimate "stuff found in rectum" story. In France, the man might be charged, since he endangered others. Here in America, this could happen with no legal consequences as long as the man had a concealed carry permit. www.standard.co.uk/news/world/h...

Nothing more to say.

Well thought-out summary.

I've had fantasies about escape to Canada, but now it's definitely Scotland.

This m-fer...

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Just blocked a new troll who said that our best bet for getting our point across was to refuse to vote in the midterms and that's pretty much Peak Stupid.

Keep at it, reporters.

Best short lesson out there in how for-profit health insurance works.

I'm no longer sure that The Onion is satire. theonion.com/ice-issues-r...

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

This one needs to be re-upped regularly.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

If ten Dem senators vote for the funding bill that funds DHS/CBP/ICE, it will pass. Make sure your Democratic senator knows where you stand. Don't make any assumptions that they will do the right thing automatically.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The pigeon toes. The earnest crossing guard hand. The way his other arm, holding the camera, is tucked into his side. The way he stands before the threat, looking over his shoulder at the wellbeing of another. The brown, the beige, the hat. One humble soul. Here is another Tiananmen Square.

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

Nobody captures the absurdity of the current regime quite like @petridishes.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Good piece about what's happening to our healthcare system. Nothing radically new, just a good clear statement. open.substack.com/pub/williamh...
