I’m running for Congress in FL-06 because extremists don’t get to bully our families into silence. I’ve stood up to bullies like Randy Fine. On the school board, I protected public schools, and I won. Now I’m ready to fight for our families again.

the funniest thing about this is that this is a *really* bad vote for johnson to have lost
loooooooolllll
Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.
Not clear why Johnson is still holding this vote open

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

I understand the Guthrie abduction is a hot story and I too want to see it resolved, but there is a cascade of other more impactful shit going on! Don't spend two fucking hours on it with some talking heads barely saying anything.

just a fucking weird statement on it's face but also highlights how filthy rich and completely out of touch trump's whole cabinet is. a private boat for a family vacation? stopping by a billionaire's island for lunch? nannies, plural?? the epstein class, indeed.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

I’ve been assuming the jobs numbers would stay meh but not disastrous given that all of their efforts to fuck the economy still haven’t pushed us over the edge but, uh
maybe that’s changing

Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

the IOC loves to remind you that they are bad even when you are at peak enjoyment of the Olympics
The International Olympic Committee has told a Ukrainian skeleton athlete he cannot wear a helmet that commemorates the lives of Ukrainian athletes lost since Russia’s invasion in competition at the Winter Games, saying it breaks Olympic rules on neutrality.

A hallmark of conspiracy thinking is citing contradictory evidence with no coherent narrative.
If COVID emerged in summer 2019, then it also nukes the lab leak theory. Their best evidence is a few Wuhan Lab researchers getting sick in Nov. If the virus was already circulating, then it's irrelevant

Lab leak truthers love to point out that "only" one-third to one-half of early cases were directly linked to the market but you know how many were linked to the lab?
Zero.
Plus if the virus had emerged in the summer there would have been *far* more than hundreds of cases by January.

VAN HOLLEN: Why do the Epstein files show you coordinating a meeting and planning a visit with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island in December 2012?

Hey remember the 2009 Epstein email where he says “I loved the torture video.”
Turns out the video was from Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.
You’ll never guess who he’s been in business with (and influencing) since 2005.
(Pssst jk, you totally will.)👇

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
