The GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.

She was asking about the Epstein rape victims

Sigh There are so many gullible reporters (aka stenographers) who have no expertise in the longstanding antics of the anti-vaccine lobby Such reporters haven’t learned about Wakefield & the kooky unsubstantiated trope that vaccine *combinations* cause autism Such reporters need a different beat

Educators in Minnesota on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop federal agents from conducting immigration enforcement near schools and bus stops.

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

I don’t think there’s ever been a good Trump interview

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

normal guy of the week alert

Jeffery Epstein was running information in and out of the New York Times, in close coordination with Elon Musk's hired agent, amidst the 2018 "Funding Secured" fake Tesla buyout debacle of 2018. Hearing about stories before they happened, laundering Tesla talking points into reporters.

Also: if any officer damages or fails to return anyone’s personal property, and that person is here legally, that officer’s agency shall be liable for 10x replacement costs. If a person has been wrongly detained, that person must be released where s/he was apprehended.

I would add: if a person who is here legally is held for more than half an hour (or whatever is a reasonable amount of time to check), that person shall receive $1000 per extra minute, with the first $10k to come from the detaining officer’s salary and the rest to come from the ICE budget.

Wisconsin is electing all of its sheriffs this year, and several swing counties, such as Kenosha and Sauk, are currently run by sheriffs who have signed on to a key program to collaborate with ICE.

No. That’s monster behavior.

"They're gonna find out the true winner of that state" -- Trump sounds like a complete lunatic talking about Fulton County, suggesting China may have rigged the 2020 election for Biden and that's why Tulsi Gabbard is involved

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

it has gotten overlooked, but Trump's new talking point that crime is down in Minneapolis because of him is preposterous. As of the end of last month his goons have committed the majority of 2026 murders in the city!

Going to go out on a limb and guess his lies went unchecked

Time machine. It’s important that Democrats start using publicly available information like this to hold Republicans accountable every single day. Just because some years ago by doesn’t mean something changed.

JUSTIFIED “FUCK ICE” CHANTS #AEWDynamite

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

Every. Time.

Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files 5,000 more times than abortion is mentioned in the Bible.

Schumer & Jeffries lay out the Democratic demands for a DHS funding deal in a letter to the top Republican leaders

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

See you in court pal

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Maybe putting an Assadist tankie in charge of national intelligence was a poor idea

dallas police randomly decide their work with ICE is hush-hush top secret www.keranews.org/government/2...

In November 2020, the (dumb, baseless) theory was that this involved Smartmatic. It’s useful to reiterate that no matter what lies the incessantly lying Gabbard offers, there’s no evidence that there was anything suspect about the election AT ALL, much less Involving some conspiracy linked to VZ.

Opposition movements elsewhere have brought down competitive authoritarian regimes by leaning into traditional get-out-the-vote tactics despite the deck being stacked against them—-and then calling out irregularities afterward. See Bunce and Wolchik’s work: www.cambridge.org/core/books/d...

Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom. Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me

I mean he will never be able to explain how it happened and there will be no proof other than this coerced confession. But I do think this is likely.

Yes.

It would be truly incredible if two people could be found who said nice things about Dershowitz behind his back.

Wyden has been the main voice pointing at the large trove of US Treasury documents that exist on Epstein that haven't been released either. Epstein made 4,725 wire transfers of over $1 billion dollars, with no legitimate purpose... And yet was never audited by the IRS? Shady all the way down.

Two reasons for this: 1 - It's easier to tamper with a handful of polling stations than hundreds or thousands of them. 2 - The weaker Trump looks politically, the harder it's going to be for him to convince state officials and MoCs to join him in a criminal conspiracy.

Trump Scolds Female Reporter For Being Adult

First, a story about a St. Paul woman who was detained by ICE. They keep coming back to her house

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The average public school in the U.S. has 500 students. ICE is currently detaining over 7 schools' worth of children, many of whom are being held in inhumane conditions. Children do not belong in government detention.

Just for the record, billionaires spending tons of money to defeat a tax measure proves the point of the measure that they can afford it

I could be wrong but I tend to think the more than tech billionaires pour into measures to ward off attempts to tax them, the more likely those measures are to pass. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Exclusive: The top Democrat on a House committee overseeing U.S.-China competition has launched a probe into a $500 million investment by an Abu Dhabi royal in a Trump family cryptocurrency company.

The judge says, Well I need to figure out who is making these determinations. And finally AUSA Voss basically says, it's set up in the structure, a lack of training and communication "from the supervisors down."

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

The mass layoffs at the Post really just make me feel a deep sadness for our industry. The severe weakening of the media ecosystem since 2017 has been catastrophic for American democracy. It has also, of course, come at great cost for journalists themselves.

I don't see how Will Lewis can effectively lead WaPo. Lewis did not save Bezos from himself on opinion pages. (375K+ cancelations) His innovations did not stem enough red ink. And he has not taken any ownership of the devastating ensuing cuts. He's making Murray own it alone.
