A lot of folks seem to think that the government is like one of those sitcoms where high-school kids cook up a zany scheme that gets them into a lot of trouble, but in the end the grown-ups get involved and make everything right again. But actually, the people who got less votes can't do anything.

But the logic is impeccable…

I believe this is from calendar entries released by the Epstein estate, not FBI investigative files.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Whether it's Joe Biden condemning the killing of Charlie Kirk in 2025 or Charlie Kirk calling for the killing of Joe Biden in 2024, both men have issued strong words about the other's killing.

Welcome to Trump’s America, where they fire Karen Attiah and Matthew Dowd for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s right-wing extremism and applaud Brian Kilmeade for suggesting we murder the homeless.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Barely lunchtime Monday and need to remind myself that beauty exists.

This a really solid pummeling, and Farage has earned every ounce of it.

“There is a sense of bringing a powerpoint presentation to a food fight” — but that doesn’t make it a bad idea to fight back against Chris Wright’s bullshit

Say what you will about Trump threatening to strip citizenship from his critics and have immigrants put into concentration camps in a swamp, but he never did anything truly power-mad like forgive student loans.

Five things to remember about war:

1. Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true

Is the US government hiring bounty hunters to hunt down and bring in immigrants?

Scenes from #NoKings in San Francisco today @maddow.msnbc.com

This is insane. These are Alex Jones level rantings

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

There was a video about 4 months ago of a bounty hunter at a Sunnyside city council meeting. These are the guys in masks in the KUOW photo from the immigration court yesterday. They are not real LEO! Look up bounty hunter laws in your state & throw sand in their gears. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich. Thread on the next steps of the process.

When future scholars study this period of history, they’ll wonder why Tapper wrote a book about a sane man being old, when a similarly-aged insane man was busy destroying their country.

I think we get used to stuff, like the proverbial frog in the pot, and lose track of how absolutely humiliating it is to have a belligerent, altered buffoon representing our nation and spewing gibberish on the world stage. But sitting him next to a normal person brings it home.

A break from my regularly scheduled political and legal posting to express some gratitude. This week, my 18 month old daughter had to have open heart surgery. 💔 As you might imagine, this was utterly terrifying. 1/

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday. By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children. Today, in 2025, that number is *7* And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology. 9/

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Please mainline fierce love, hope and beauty, right now. We need to stay strong and renew.

Every idiot MAGA should be reminded on a daily basis that the country was sick, shut down, and that the economy was in freefall when Biden took office, and that when he left our economic recovery from the pandemic was literally the envy of the world. If they say "fake news" then laugh in their face.

Overheard in a Meridian, Idaho restaurant from a bartender to an older white man: "They've fired more Americans than they've deported illegals. Just in the month he's been there. It's insane"

Here’s what Democrats did today (February 26):

Seriously? They turned it off literally overnight. Can they not turn it back on because Big Balls fucked up some system?

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!
