HoffPost will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings.
His career at the Times is just old enough for him to leave his wife for.

This dude went to Oxford. He talks like Foghorn Leghorn because he thinks his constituents are idiots.
Sen. John Kennedy, a Louisiana Republican, has earned a reputation as perhaps the most quotable senator because of his folksy, simile-heavy way of speaking.

His book, “How to Test Negative for Stupid: And Why Washington Never Will,” is written in that same tone. https://wapo.st/4k3T9Dc

I’m don’t live in this district so I haven’t followed this much. That said, the Trib Editorial Board are handmaidens to fascists and I appreciate a candidate telling them to get bent.

I don’t know if this would work but if Dems and the Media could raise the spectre of criminal punishment or tribunals I think these people will eat each other alive.

They will trample each other to death trying to be the first informant.

Anyone who watches professional wrestling knows that you don’t take a victory lap just even if you’ve just top-rope body-slammed your opponent onto the announcer’s table. You keep hitting them with the chair until the bell rings.

Don’t let up just because one guy retreats. Keep fighting.

Ok ok. Let’s not jump to hasty conclusions. Let’s hear them out.
a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

How is this not aiding and abetting a murder? Or conspiracy after-the-fact? I’m actually asking. What do lawyers say? Could Minn. charge Bovino?
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Couldn’t Walz send a few dump trucks here to block in all the cars? I’m sure it’s more complicated than that but at least it would mess up their morning.
oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove.

people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

We live in a timeline where Bill Kristol is outflanking the Democratic leadership. What the hell guys.
Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.
January 25, 2026 at 4:37 PM
Do people outside of IL realize how much the GOP has to fuck up to get Dick Durbin to do the right thing?

Good for him, sucks it took so long.
Sen. Dick Durbin, another one of the 8 Democratic YES votes on Nov funding bill, is a NO on this DHS measure: “I will not vote to fund the illegal DHS and ICE operations that terrorize Chicago, Minneapolis, and many other communities.”

This bill doesn’t have the votes.
January 25, 2026 at 1:55 AM
Yeah, I’m skeptical of this. This seems like even too stupid for Bondi. And if it’s true it has to be illegal.
🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇

There you have it.

ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.

It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Go do your non-violent somewhere else, if it gives you guys any peace.

As for people claiming me being fed, just stop. I know most of you liberal hate us far left people, but be sure we will be the first line of defense for you if it comes to that.

Be safe everyone!

I’m not a doctor* but this looks like a botched hand IV. We should all make baseless accusations about what he is having out in his veins. I say Ketamine. Probably.

* ok I am a doctor but not that kind of doctor.

Can I still participate in Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil if I’m also doing the General Strike?

Lots to consider.

CPS is off school tomorrow so I am going to ditch work in solidarity with the general strike tomorrow. Thank you, yes, thank you, no I’m not a hero.

I’m hearing from sources he shit and pissed himself then changed his clothes and he shit and pissed himself again and then he did it a third time to prove a point so they had to turn the plane around and then he unfortunately he passed away, RIP Mr. President.

Climate change, pollution and decades of overuse have pushed the world into a state of “water bankruptcy,” leaving essential sources of fresh water irreparably damaged and billions of people without enough water to meet their basic needs, U.N. experts said.
The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy,’ U.N. report says
Researchers say this is not merely a temporary crisis, but a permanent failure that requires rethinking the world’s approach to water scarcity.
