The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Thinking of getting into Star Trek. Thoughts?

No but this is entirely correct

UPDATE: predictably, Netflix has lost it. Trump’s total control over news and social media is now nearly complete. bit.ly/4s6Ojbc

Another horrible thing that is only happening because Trump is in the White House

We really are in a total nightmare scenario if Netflix loses this. Like we enter a world where there generally are almost no voices on all of US television who are empowered to ever say anything critical about Trump.

Breaking news: A federal judge found that the IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.

This is why you can't really collaborate with the feds under any circumstances. If your policy is "we will only collaborate with them when it's unrelated to civil immigration enforcement" then the Trump administration will just lie about what they're doing!

The ADL is going to regret deciding that it was more important to deport random college students for writing op-eds than to fight back against bringing people like this into positions of influence in the US state.

Rep. Ilhan Omar demanded an investigation of the arrest of her State of the Union guest, Aliya Rahman, who was removed after standing to protest President Trump. Rahman, a U.S. citizen, was forced out of her car by ICE officers in January in Minneapolis.

How is this doofus tweeting from prison?

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up." If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2070...

all accusations are unverified, once verified they aren't accusations anymore. adding "unverified" in front of the word makes it sound like the FBI concluded it didn't happen which .. is not true!

we have to be meaner to these people it's all we got. billionaires sitting there crying bc ppl hate them when they could just end world hunger

Still can't get over how good #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms was. Funny, scary, dramatic, emotional, heartfelt. All packed into six 30-ish minute eps. Masterclass.

oh dear Kash Patel was using the FBI's private jet to visit his mom... "The evidence response team instead had to drive through the night amid a snowstorm..." www.ms.now/news/senator...

Once again sharing this calendar invite from the Epstein Files that confirms Elon Musk was (at the very least) scheduled to visit the island, in 2014.

FLAG: Trump-related files are missing from DOJ's Epstein release. There's at least one witness for whom three 2019 FBI interviews are missing. That woman is the same person who, in a 2025 FBI presentation, is identified to have accused Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15.

Since HEAT 2 is a prequel, they should call it PREHEAT.

Ted Cruz would never have been in that locker room because when Ted Cruz shows up to a sporting event, his team ALWAYS loses.

Nobody in sports exudes more boomer energy lately than the guy literally named Boomer.

EXCLUSIVE: An @npr.org investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. Other documents that mention Trump have been taken down (and some restored). More:

Who is this fight for? Why do we keep doing this? 48yo Mayweather is gonna fight 47yo Pacquaio after he fights 59yo Tyson? Really? There are so many great *young* fighters waiting for their shot. Nobody wants to watch two old has-beens. STOP FORCING IT ON US. It's worse than AI Slop. (OK almost)

RFK Jr.: ‘Time In Hot Cars Helps Babies To Sweat Out Toxins’

Non-Jews need to stop parsing Jewish identity using categories linked to defining religion strictly in terms of belief.

And if he doesn’t consult them? The Dems will send him another harshly worded letter.

i'm trying to think of a worse way to think about this question and i don't think i actually can.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

People broke this story? The magazine that regularly features Miss Piggy on the cover? GET READY TO ACCEPT YOUR PULITZER, PEOPLE MAGAZINE!!! people.com/jeffrey-epst...

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

Tesla made suppliers tool up for 120k units/year of this turd, it sold a third of that in year one, and then sales fell by 50% in year two. Biggest flop in modern automotive history, and it isn't close.

congressional republicans looking at the midterms hear this and consider driving directly into the concrete embankment

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Not sure we can ever fix the brain rot Trump has inflicted on this country.

I can absolutely guarantee you Steven Spielberg’s move had nothing to do with a one time 5% tax on his wealth. If Zuck and others so concerned about changing their net worth from like $200 billion to $198 billion that they’ll uproot their entire lives, they can GTFO.

I have seen planes of billionaire techies that are not this nice.

This is the way. Democrats who attend because they are "respecting norms" need to wake up to what a one way street they are on.

Exclusive: After pulling out of WHO, the Trump administration is proposing spending $2 billion a year to replicate the global disease surveillance and outbreak functions the United States once helped build, which will cost about three times as much.

The UK arrested Prince Andrew. Hakeem Jeffries is telling Democrats not to boo Trump at the State of the Union.
