man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

ICE is still active all across Minnesota, even parking at observers homes this morning. But we’ve been showing up all weekend with massive food drives, placing hearts where were abducted, at singing marches, and there’s another big protest at Jackson Square Park today at noon. Let’s keep showing up!

(“The white guys are back in charge” is the message just to speak it plainly.)
The Nazi tattoo, like Rahm’s candidacy, and Newsom’s podcast, are all different variations of the same message.

If there’s one thing good about this era, it’s the degree to which rich people and their sock puppet mouthpieces are being outed as the incurious, morally vacuous so many of them have always been. The tendency to equate “rich” with smart and “better” is extremely ahistorical
Yes, that’s why my family left Germany because they really wanted to go to Great Britain and sort of missed it by thaaat much

Common sense tells us, and a reading of the last thirty freaking years of Senate history confirms, that Republicans will never "go along" with anything Democrats care about.

Even this idiot doesn't believe the nonsense he's spewing. He's useless and should resign his leadership.
Schumer on DHS reforms: "I believe Republicans will have no choice but to go along with us because it's so common sense"

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next
- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
Romance alert: Trump's reckless tariffs have Valentine’s Day costs up across the board:

Roses 🌹16.6%
Chocolates🍫 18.7%
Ribeye 🥩 25.4%
Restaurant meals 🍽️ 4.9%

The screaming from inside Jean Jacket after the Haywood Ranch scene still haunts me whenever I think about it. That was truly horrific.
I should really watch it again.

Meanwhile, when allegations involve extreme harm and immense power, the process often looks slower, more opaque, more cautious. Or non-existent.

It exposes something deeper than any one case.

Our system doesn’t respond to harm. It responds to status, narrative, and power.

these ghouls can openly dismantle every public good that it took sometimes centuries to construct, and this is just party dogma among their own side, but there is no equivalent opposition big idea like "we must appropriate vital infrastructure away from oligarchs and back into the commonweal"
The Trump Administration appears to be continuing to move forward in its plans to dismantle the Nat'l Center for Atmospheric Research, announcing yesterday plans to shed the NCAR supercomputing facility to a third party. More: tinyurl.com/26924vy4
