LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas. Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points. Our complete writeup on this remarkable outcome -->

Much of political coverage still insists Trump may be unpopular, but the Democratic brand is so bad it might be a wash. But here we see Democrats scoring huge wins in red Southern districts ...

Since Trump's return, here are the total # of legislative seats each party has flipped: Democrats: 26 Republicans: zero docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.

Early returns in Louisiana’s special election: The Dem candidate is leading 58.5% to 41.5%. That’s with a third of the vote in. Context: this is a Dem-held seat but in a district TRUMP carried by 13%, so has been a big/obvious GOP target. Stay tuned.

CNN anchor Victor Blackwell dropped a pile of receipts on President Donald Trump in a blistering commentary about the president’s racist Truth Social post and the people who still defend him.

I don't get the Snoop Dogg thing with the Olympics.

The far left is resentful of the political power of Black people in the Dem party.

There was a march in Columbus for Haitian immigrants but, given it's the city that built JD Vance, they were met by counterprotesters. The latter called the Haitian immigrants "illegals" (they're not) & one said he lost his job bc of undocumented immigrants but wouldn't give info. Bc, of course.

Here’s the full story on Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon's failed attempt to destroy Pope Francis.

Steve Bannon worked with Jeffrey Epstein for years to try to take down Pope Francis. He failed miserably. Now he and his friends in the MAGA Epstein class are trying to destroy Pope Leo XIV. By the grace of God, we will defeat him and his cronies once and for all.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

At UToledo, Sophomore Rocket Miriam Diala was greeted after a hard fought win by her mother Francisca, who traveled 4,300 miles to see her daughter play women's college basketball at UT in person for the first time. Just imagine the embrace in the stands, the tears, the joy, and the gratitude.

I learned from this that the ShamWow guy is running for Congress as a Republican in Texas.

“The Epstein Class”

JD Vance booed again at Winter Olympics after he's spotted giggling with Jake Paul

NEW: Days after his anti-ICE song reached the top of the charts, Bruce Springsteen met with Bishop David O’Connell and other New Jersey Catholic leaders. The meeting comes amid intensified Catholic criticism — from Pope Leo XIV on down — of President Trump’s deportation campaign.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

The racist whom JD Vance is hanging out with at the Olympics.

I assume that JD Vance prefers the incredibly overrated Ohio products Graeters’ ice cream & Skyline Chili to the world-class cuisine in Milan.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

Democratic SC State Senator Margie Bright Matthews introduces bill ending religious exemptions for measles vaccine

President Trump’s attempts to dramatically slash funding for the U.S. Department of Education amid a broader push to dismantle the agency hit a major roadblock in the form of bipartisan approval of a spending law that gives the department a small raise ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/02/05/r...

JD Vance yukking it up with his toxic bro friend Jake Paul at the Olympics instead of doing his job as Vice President.

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest by the Trump-Vance regime says beating was unprovoked

The Catholic Church is not a perfect institution. And there are still far too many men like Bishop Robert Barron in positions of leadership in the Church. Still, I'm glad to see how the Church has found its voice since Trump took office and has been one of the leading bulwarks against his actions.

Grant Jones, executive director of the Knights of Peter Claver Foundation: "The faithful, especially the Catholic community, many of whom are supporters of the president, should no longer remain silent and speak out in opposition to this ongoing behavior" [by Trump].

More from Gloria Purvis on Trump: "He’s engaging in behavior that is evil and invites people to emulate that behavior.”

Gloria Purvis of Georgetown University's Institute for Catholic Social Thought in Public Life, one of the leading Catholic institutions for dialogue in the U.S., says that Donald Trump engaged in "serious moral evil" with his racist post.

Catholic Bishop Daniel E. Garcia on Trump's racist post: "Every racist act — every such comment, every joke, every disparaging look as a reaction to the color of skin, ethnicity, or place of origin — is a failure to acknowledge another person as a brother or sister, created in the image of God."

Growing calls for Pope Leo to excommunicate JD Vance over ICE shooting comments

Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., addresses the malicious intent behind a controversial video, emphasizing its harmful impact on individuals.

Right-wing LA Archbishop Jose Gomez, a man who is so conservative and such a partisan Republican bishop that he's the first LA Archbishop since 1953 to not be a Cardinal, should be wearing a hot dog costume when he says this. He's been an active cheerleader in American losing her soul for years.

Authoritarian right-wing MAGA fanatic Bari Weiss's Free Press calls now-Archbishop Emeritus (thank you, God!) Timothy Dolan, "The Legendary Catholic Leader." I guess that's one way to describe this man. Weiss has absolutely no moral compass.

As Trump, Vance, & Rubio seem eager to overthrow the regime in Cuba, the island nation's Catholic Bishops have been summoned by Pope Leo to come to the Vatican.

You'll remember that self-identified "Catholic" JD Vance met with Germany's racial nationalist party, the AfD, shortly after taking office. An AfD politician has been removed from his position in a Catholic parish bc of his membership in the AfD & the Vatican has rejected his appeal.

Mark my words: If he wins re-election in anything more than a squeaker, his name is going to start being talked about for 2028. The field is far from set. As I've said before, Obama didn't even start appearing in 2008 polls until fall 2006

Just saying. #GoBlue
