Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter: "Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

I'm pretty sure there's not

JUST IN: Les Wexner submitted a written statement to House Oversight ahead of his testimony on Jeffrey Epstein. In the letter, Wexner says he was “naive” and duped by Epstein, calls him a “con man,” and insists he cut ties nearly two decades ago and had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

We must criticize the president, it's our duty as good citizens of the republic

Everything else is commentary

$4 BILLION — So corrupt. There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA “How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

It's time

None of this is normal

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

Antitrust has been the one area in which the Trump administration was not uniformly awful. But that may be changing; they just fired the head of the Antitrust Division news.bloomberglaw.com/product/blaw...

Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

🤷🏼

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy. If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Having money can make you money, but it doesn't may you a genius

it has gotten overlooked, but Trump's new talking point that crime is down in Minneapolis because of him is preposterous. As of the end of last month his goons have committed the majority of 2026 murders in the city!

Great to see Seth Meyers citing original reporting from Zeteo's @swin24.bsky.social and @andrewperez.bsky.social on his show tonight:

So weird how this keeps happening. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Epstein: “the girls and i are going to see elon musk at space x tomorrow, are you around,”

The EPA enforced a record low number of environmental laws and regulations during the first year of President Trump's second term in office. n.pr/4tgcipI

Phang: Donald Trump would suck at playing poker, wouldn’t he? Because it’s so obvious. All you have to do is ask him about the Epstein files and he loses his shit.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

😂😂 Lindsey melting down. Blames Mike Johnson for a UNANIMOUS House vote to strip out the provision allowing Lindsey to sue the taxpayers because DOJ got his phone records and vows revenge.

This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012. Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

that tie knot is the same width as his head

We could have had nice things

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

Really enjoyed this long interview of @jamestalarico.bsky.social by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. No idea whether he will be either successful in the TX SEN primary, or if so, in the general, but I like listening to him talk. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

So now MTG is leading a FEDERAL TAX REVOLT for this year to stop the Fascist Regime radical spending. This is from MeidasTouch. Which I do agree with her on this. The Regime has been spending money like drunken assholes. The biggest waste is ICE. They want to deport 108 million dark people.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

youngkin ending his term as virginia’s worst governor of the 21st century thus far, with a political career that has gone down the toilet
