yeah look man I'm not sure how much benefit of the doubt you can extend like come on

I don’t even really think this is fair. Iraq was heavily debated publicly, and there was a plan. It was a stupid and delusional plan based on unrealistic assumptions, but it was known publicly and voted on by Congress. There was no public debate or Congressional authorization in this instance.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

I think the truly damning thing about the Dem comms response is that they had months to prepare for today and there's zero coordination, no unified message. Just every D leader responding like they quickly hammered out a statement in a panic at 6 am this morning

😑

How can anyone actually believe this BS when you have the hindsight of what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.... How can anyone actually believe this BS knowing who is currently incharge of our military... Imagine being as dumb as this Congressman

Two categories of analysts who might take a step back, away from the microphone or keyboard, this weekend: —Those who assured us that Trump was the real anti-war candidate. —Those who assured us that invading Iraq was necessary and would work out great.

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

youre cnn, you couldve told america that the sky is blue and anyone saying otherwise is dumb as dog shit but instead you brought on scott jennings to tell the “sky is red” people that they may have a point even though you personally know better

I recently saw a dentist, who told me I would qualify for the new Canadian dental plan and a replacement crown would be mostly covered in six weeks. I don't miss wondering if I will have access to vaccines, healthcare costs, fluctuating tariff rates, or issues with my immigration status.

Former Trump surgeon general: 'Incomprehensible' Senate is considering Means

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

These are the kinds of stories that need to get to the people who think ICE is simply being too aggressive right now, but is generally fine

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

Your tax dollars at work.

i really do think slavery education suffers from an this catch-22 where we teach it too early to get into any of the real shit, but by the time kids are old enough for the real shit they've already heard about slavery a half-dozen times and don't care anymore

BREAKING on MS NOW: The FBI has fired at least 7 FBI agents and support staff as a result of their role in Trump's classified documents. The people fired are said to have participated in some way in pulling phone records of Patel and Susie Wiles during that investigation.

Still seems crazy that Richard Hanania wrote for years under a white power banner and is just like, part of the media landscape.

New York billionaires who call themselves liberals and moderates are currently spending their time figuring out how to punish the people of New York City for electing Zohran, while doing absolutely nothing to stop the demented Nazi in the White House.

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.

the Peter Attia 'unjust cancellation' was for abandoning his sick child to go and party with Jeffrey Epstein. these people are moral voids.

Important reminder of the devastation wrought by the Musk/DOGE dismantling of USAID. Hundreds of thousands dead, many more to come. The greatest crime of the 21st century (so far).

These AI slop creations are getting clever (but still awful). This one tried to add some effects to make it look old, but still fails. (This is no identifiable place at Auschwitz and the towers are all wrong.) Also, the chances of a FB bot having a new Holocaust photo are 0.

Heard today there’s a severe translator shortage for regular immigration appearances at Whipple. Does anyone know if there‘s a community effort (à la Haven for released folks) to supply translators for these hearings? If not it sounds like we desperately need one.

I know there is a lot, but this really does break a part of me. It is so lawless on so many levels — and each individual boat strike is a choice.

I and my USG colleagues would go to external meetings where lunch would be served and to follow the rules we had to pay for our sandwiches.

Maura Healey desperately needs a primary

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

We should try electing some kind of deliberative body that makes decisions about levying taxes.

I forgot that every LLM's logo was a butthole

"In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity." Because it was never about sports. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u... Bypass here: archive.ph/jUvSO

this got more press coverage than Grok's Memphis data center dumping toxic cack all over black neighborhoods

Left, my story about how the right wing ex-Honduran president was given special treatment after he was pardoned for drug trafficking - and had his ICE detainer dropped. Right, a story about a man who spent 43 yrs in prison for a wrongful conviction & was deported once his convicted was overturned

you may also remember that the "board of peace" is structured so that donald trump, personally, has sole and absolute control over it. he's just stealing our fucking money. what i want from my dems? a commitment to take that shit back.

The campaign tried very hard to make her "likeable" when the whole time the message should have been "I'm Hillary Clinton and I'm a stone cold bitch who will throw the lifeless bodies of my enemies into a ditch."

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

I'm very happy with Ghost. Even more happy after discovering @outpost.pub, the combination of the two giving you way more advantages than Substack offers, without taking the big cut of your revenue that Substack does

So South Korea is jailing a former leader for insurrection and Great Britain arrested a member of the royal family, but in America we're focused on the importance issue, AOC saying "um."

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Like with using children as bait and eating at a restaurant then kidnapping the people who prepared it, ICE is routinely breaking taboos that have been part of human civilization since before recorded history.

The buried lede here is that the woman he had an affair with committed suicide through self immolation

Hmm, I wonder what City Council member Johnny Melton was up to on their phone during this meeting… oh.

Dems should formalize the current situation and propose a Constitutional amendment stipulating that tax and war power sits with Congress unless a majority of members are fwightened that the pwesident will do mean tweets.
