In their motion to dismiss the charges of assaulting a federal officer, prosecutors write that newly discovered evidence is "materially inconsistent with the allegations."

More people should ask bigots “what do you mean by that?” and “can you give me an example?”
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

You should be able to play baseball after drinking three beers to be perfectly honest and you’re telling me everyone got all worked up because Castellanos grabbed one beer after he was taken out of the game and then didn’t even drink any of it?!?

Not a ton to say about the Wisconsin #Badgers WBB game last night. Illinois shot well, didn't turn it over, and Wisconsin didn't shoot well.

Despite UW being on a 5-game losing streak, there were still some good things to discuss! Like Dorja Zaja's career game!

A balanced, and lethal, Illinois offensive attack turned this one into a laugher by halftime.

My plan to get all foreign World Cup visitors to hate the Dallas Cowboys due to Texas’ inability to publicly transport soccer fans to and from the stadium is going swimmingly.

Heated Rivalry but it’s guys who work at the Sheetz and Wawa across the street from each other
“The rivalry is just like Philly," said Elsa Ortiz, who drove an hour from Philadelphia for the grand opening of Sheetz in Limerick Township.

Good lord, dude. What universities are allowing to happen to them based on reasons (????) is truly horrific.

The amount of brain power this country will lose (or never get!) due to these decisions will be astronomical and the loss of institutional knowledge will reverberate for decades.
This is AWFUL. Univ of Texas is consolidating 4 depts into 1: African and African Diaspora Studies and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, American Studies, and Mexican American and Latino Studies will become "a Social and Cultural Analysis department." www.texastribune.org/2026/02/12/t...
UT-Austin to merge race, ethnic and gender study programs
More than 800 students are pursuing degrees in the affected departments, which include African, Latino and gender studies.

Yeah, I’ll believe it’s “over” when I see it.

That being said: fuck ICE, fuck Tom Homan, fuck Stephe Miller, fuck Donald Trump, fuck DHS, fuck Border Patrol, & fuck you if you don’t agree

Get out of Minnesota & don’t ever fucking come back you cowardly, fasicst, late on child support ass dickheads
He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

Buddy, saying you had to show ID to buy beer in Wisconsin is just admitting that everyone (correctly) assumed you are a cop.
Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

Jeffrey Epstein’s emails show that then-Ohio State University Board of Trustees chairman Leslie Wexner was served in a Jane Doe lawsuit against the deceased sex trafficker in 2009.

Donald Trump was also served in the lawsuit.

Epstein later settled.

Ah, well, surely this will be the end of it! Pro wrestling fans are noted for doing exactly what ownership wants at all times, especially when it comes to what chants they are and aren’t allowed to do.

“[Women] have to be imprisoned.”

This is also what I said after Breanna Stewart blatantly traveled before getting “fouled” and scoring the title-winning points against the Lynx two years ago.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

This is a long thread but you should read it.

In related news, judges *must* start holding AUSAs in contempt (and then locking them up) if we want this to stop without more bloodshed.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Looks like somebody should sign up for classes at the Will Stancil School of OPSEC smdh
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

WISCONSIN #BADGERS at ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI WBB GAME THREAD

One day after a massive Wisconsin MBB win at Illinois, the WBB team looks to pull the upset over the Fighting Illini as well in what many are calling the Shay Bowl(lin) due to UW's Shay Bollin having transferred from Illinois this year.

He got the Marilyn Manson surgery?
Zack Wheeler kept the rib that was removed to correct his thoracic outlet syndrome. It’s in his closet. He is happy with his progress. Orion Kerkering has a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He’ll be a little behind. So will Michael Mercado (shoulder) and Dan Robert (cardiovascular).

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
