this is total nonsense? presidents quite famously struggled to maintain control over the federal bureaucracy going back to before the civil war and congress has always interfered a great deal into the executive branch. congressional deference is the abnormality!

Trump: "Everything that has been written about a potential War with Iran has been written incorrectly... if we don’t make a Deal, it will be a very bad day for that Country and, very sadly, its people, because they are great and wonderful, and something like this should never have happened to them."

Charlie Kirk repeatedly pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory and regularly made racist comments in his public statements. If we can't call someone so explicitly racist "a racist" without getting fired, who else is off limits? Donald Trump? Nick Fuentes? David Duke?

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. He spent his life pushing America to live up to its highest ideals and his fight for civil rights, dignity, and fairness will inspire generations to come.

It’s like talking to a wall!! I tried to reason with people too! It’s a damn cult.

ICYMI: Minnesota was just ranked the second-best state to raise a family. From paid leave and school meals, to strong public safety and tax cuts for the middle class, Minnesota is built around the simple idea that families come first. wallethub.com/edu/best-sta...

Katyal: "Here's the problem for Donald Trump: his DOJ, in our case, filed briefs to the courts that said Section 122 is inapplicable and the president can't use it. So now he's turned around & he's gonna have to somehow argue against his own DOJ's interpretation of the statute. I think that's tough"

Maria Bartiromo: "It's incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump's success, he's been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union."

was listening to SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR this morning and it is totally wild how much that record is a no skips, banger after banger, stone cold classic. you’re telling me at least four of the best pop hits of the 80s are on one album?!?

You would think when you get busted pulling a stunt like going to Italy for the Olympics on the taxpayer dime you would keep a low profile about it. But that’s now how Kash rolls.

very funny to me to see folks who have no social media presence outside of twitter say you have to be on twitter to be influential

Sure paying taxes sucks, but at least we got to pay for another bucket list trip for Kash this week.

Congratulations to the U.S. Men’s and Women’s hockey teams, Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Mikaela Shiffrin and all the amazing Olympic athletes representing Team USA.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

Meanwhile in 🇨🇳... & no, what makes 🇨🇳 the most advanced isn't because the cities have "LEDs" as one 🇺🇲 ignorant countryman put it...

Gov. Shapiro:  "We've seen now that the president was acting outside his legal authority…I wish he would just adhere to the Supreme Court's ruling and stop the pain for the American people."

This guy actually said that China and Russia have more rights than the U.S. 🤦 Either a Kremlin bot or a complete weirdo. Block and move on, folks.

Jeffries on Fox News Sunday: "We believe this moment should be used to make dramatic changes to ICE that are bold, transformational, and meaningful ... these are basic, common sense demands."

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.

Can the Sunday show bookers please let their Republican guests know ahead of time that you are going to ask them specifics about Trump’s deranged “hospital boat” post so they can’t claim on the show they don’t know anything about it.

I can answer this one. The president of the United States is dangerously psychotic and no one in his political party will say it, nor will 95% of American media.

Wolfers: What we have is a pro-tax Republican president. Maybe he favors this tax because it’s regressive — it takes a bigger chunk out of the paychecks of the poor than of the rich. Maybe he thinks he can baffle us with bullshit and pretend China is paying, but that’s a story people aren’t buying

Donald Trump will HATE this ad when he sees it during the Olympic hockey final. Let’s win gold. And then win back our country. LFG USA 🏅🔥🇺🇲

Huckabee has now made 29 damage control posts after his embarrassing interview with Tucker Carlson.

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause. I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

i say let them do it. if i were a senate democrat i would relish the opportunity to let the country know that republicans don't think you should vote if you are a married woman www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/u...

She is awesome to read

Trump: "Tariffs have been used to end 5 of the 8 wars I've settled. I've settled 8 wars, whether you like it or not. Big ones. Nuclear. Could've been nuclear. The prime minister of Pakistan said yesterday that President Trump could've saved 35 million lives."

No Republican in the history of the United States has personally attacked more of his fellow Republicans than Trump. No Republican has done it more often or as long. No Republican has ever actively campaigned against other Republicans as often as Trump.

once again, floofydog.exe has failed to load

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

I'm pretty sure there's not

If you see this, post a monster!

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

first time i "toured" a home on zillow, i thought it was the most beautiful home i'd seen in my life. i dreamt of one day living in such a home. after four years of browsing zillow, that home looks normal and boring. comparison is really the thief of joy.

that’s right

Newsom: He’s a broken man who tried to break this country. His presidency de facto ends when Speaker Jeffries is sworn in — at least as the presidency as we know it. Now, losing this tariff policy and the unilateral authority under IEEPA — that’s a major blow.

After watching Trump’s press conference today, I’m not so sure he understands that the dissenting opinion is the one that lost.

god this would be amazing

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

"and some, i assume, are good people" is definitely part of my speech. so is "open the schools."

This means that the attack on Iran will probably take place tomorrow morning, so that the US population is distracted and does not talk about tariffs.

Trump: "Canada said, 'I hope you win this decision because if you don't win you'll actually be able to charge us higher tariffs.'"

Trump just said the justices who ruled against him “are a disgrace to our nation” who are “fools, lapdogs” and “very unpatriotic.”

Trump: "Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic. They're dancing in the streets. But they won't be dancing for long, that I can assure you."

So we’re probably not getting those tariff rebate checks then?

This is a win for Minnesota’s farmers, small business owners, and consumers. Working people have being paying too steep a price. www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/p...
