ICE chased a beloved teacher to her death. Abolish ICE.

Bullshit.

No, it's not "back to business as usual." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I’ll save you five minutes of your time today so you don’t have to read the news about yet another round of “negotiations” in Geneva:

What would normally be presidency-ending scandals not even a blip on the radar Daily

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are: Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job. Thanks

“Why do people fall for slight modulations in tone from a guy like Marco Rubio and give him the benefit of the doubt. […]The mainstream media go easy on these guys so they can maintain access and the rest of us…the rest of the world…suffers as a consequence.” David asks questions worth pondering.

Happy Presidents' Day. No, not him.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

She knows. They always know.

We're living in a hallucination wrapped in a fever dream inside a simulation, and still, it all feels too real to me. (Nonetheless, I comfort myself by thinking that we were all dropped on our heads at once and this is just a shared nightmare.)

Power to the People!

Ah, yes, the Alma Mater of the Nation in Williamsburg-so coined in when I studied there many years ago-was a hot bed of radical wokeism. In 1776.

Sunday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

As an English-Scots-Irish American, I invite Elon to shove his opinion up his ass. And now I need to think about what I’m having for lunch today: TexMex, Italian, or Chinese. Hashtag American Food 🇺🇸

When the MAGA standard is “I don’t care if the numbers aren’t precisely right,” you’re telling every future strongman that all they have to do is lie with a smile. This is how a party becomes a personality cult and how authoritarianism takes over.

Larry lives—and thrives! Likely the savviest living thing to grace Number 10 in the last 15 years.

Awww. Sad to see this diplokitty go… the very best “feline relations consultant” since Mish-Mish, my Algerian wonder cat.

Of course.

No shit.

Gov Hobbs launched a site explaining your constitutional rights during ICE encounters. Everyone has rights regardless of immigration status. Know them before you need them. #AZpolitics #KnowYourRights buff.ly/YO76Tn3

This.

Just a reminder that the UC system was not a party in this litigation. Faculty, staff and the @aaup.org fought on their own. UCLA, and the entire UC system, should be ashamed of themselves, and their leaders should be reminded of their submissives every day.

I agree with this analysis. Trump’s America is not Europe's friend, and European leaders mustn't kid themselves that Rubio's speech is a valentine message from Washington. He's less strident than Vance last year, but he's still telling Europe to be Trumpian - or else.

Are we witnessing the death of free speech? Is that part of the legacy of our generation?

No words left to say.

To all those people who keep thinking this guy is the adult in the room: like the rest of the guys in this so-called government, he is a subservient fool. He’s proved it yet again.

AOC: "I think we have to recognize that we are in a new day and in a new time. But that does not mean that the majority of Americans are ready to walk away from a rules-based order, and that we're ready to walk away from our commitment to democracy."

Because DHS paramilitaries are masked, heavily armed, poorly trained, and have been terrorizing Americans for months.  Because Americans don't want to vote at gunpoint. #holdfast

Operation Frequent Manhood strikes again. (Doonesbury reference somehow seems apt.)

Friedrich Merz, the chancellor of Germany, said that under President Trump, the U.S.’s claim to global leadership “has been challenged, and possibly squandered.” "The culture war of the MAGA movement is not ours,” he said.

Does that mean that Noem and her blanket will shut up for a while?

Meanwhile, people around the world who used to depend upon USAID and its important programs die. Obscene.

So it can be done.

All the best people, right?

Positive news 🚨: CDC’s global health teams have quietly contained 250+ outbreaks in 40+ countries, stopping Marburg, Ebola & more before they spread here. 🇺🇸🦠 A reminder that public health wins continue, even while 🧠 🪱 & co. actively try to silence the science. Scientists save lives every day! 💪🌍

Unfit for this-or any-job. This guy shouldn’t be anywhere near foreign policy or foreigners, much less serve as assistant secretary for international organizations. And he’s stupid to boot.

May be a little too generous. But agree that he should start looking for another line of work.

The lack of respect is jarring. This woman is going to be one of the first to go down. She’s making real enemies. Does she think Ron Johnson or Jim Jordan are going to be there to back her?

"We've had great success in this operation," says Tom Homan in Minneapolis. Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment.
