The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Oh sure. Give the DoJ and DNI several more weeks alone with the ballots. Excellent idea.

Just gonna plug the latest episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social once again, because there is an extended portion where Brooke talks about the importance of local news with regard to the expansion of Sinclair and Nexstar. I think it's a huge story that is still probably under-covered.

can't believe people don't want to work at the Larry Ellison technofascist propaganda farm

Tom Nichols: “There are people in the Republican Party who think it’s a hoot to post Nazi memes and to use language from the Third Reich, and I wrote it because we can’t keep ignoring this and pretending that it’s normal. The Republicans in fact do have a Nazi problem.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Three files/interviews/statements. 50 pages. That's what is missing. Not an anonymous call.

In Minnesota, despite showing documents proving active immigration cases, pending visas, or even US citizenship, residents were arrested and detained by ICE for days or weeks. But many who were later set free are now encountering a new challenge: ICE isn’t giving back their immigration documents.

CBS handed the shovel to the very man they were trying to bury, and he dug himself out. Stephen Colbert knows he has nothing to lose now.

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

The bombshell report alleges that the DOJ withheld dozens of documents from the Epstein files that may pertain to a woman who accused Trump and Epstein of sexually abusing her when she was a minor.

Here’s new and irrefutable evidence from the Epstein files that Howard Lutnick made false statements and was misleading about his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. It hasn’t yet caused a storm. So please give it a read and share widely.

It’s happening. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-r...

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders. I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward THREAD www.vox.com/politics/479...

Hey y'all, I thought I was signed up to @atrupar.com substack, but I wasn't. Which means I've been benefiting from his tireless work providing direct evidence of Trump's shitshow for free. I have corrected my mistake. If you enjoy his work, throw him six bucks. www.publicnotice.co/subscribe

Wow.

On President's Day, the First Amendment Troop staged "Resistance" - a tribute and act of artistic dissent - at the Lincoln Memorial, followed by a guerrilla performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Created by the advocacy arm of hungryman Productions, CONTD PT1

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

The staffer thing is so funny, like an entirely white nationalist administration has to be like oh no, there’s one of us who’s more racist that the rest of the ethnic cleansers

This Is What Actual Christianity Is Supposed to Sound Like A stirring sermon from an Episcopalian pulpit last Sunday about “faith, basic morality, and decency” that we thought was worth reprinting.

Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality. Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar" My latest solution in @thenation.com

Watching commentators still refusing to see the white nationalism of this administration and arguingTrump is targeting Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit because they are blue cities is just, it’s got to be intentional at this point. There are a ton of blue cities. These are majority Black cities.

Reminder there is still good writing at the times… www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

Der… der… ,math is hard 🙃

Yeah, but those were Republicans, duh 🙃

The court judgment froze Kristi Noem's plans to strip legal protections from hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

Worth keeping an eye on this story: Heritage Foundation-linked group is trying to frame Netflix as being some super liberal company that puts out super liberal content (it's not). Same strategy they successfully used against traditional media and social media. deadline.com/2026/02/netf...

Data shows Trump is 'funneling' donor money into his bank account

Critics agree: Melania the documentary is nothing more than a thin pretext upon which Jeff Bezos could pay $40 mn into Trump family accounts. www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/rev...

In darkness let there be light (or legos)

"I love the poorly educated," Trump declared in 2016. A decade later, MAGA has manifested that love into policy. They're purging scientists from govt; defunding R&D; and blocking the best & brightest from around the world from studying, teaching, working, or founding businesses in the United States.
