To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

I'm all set with a fuzzy blanket, book light batteries, and a lighter for the gas stove for my tea; my weekend will be fine. Also, I'm old enough to remember when we just called this amount of snow 'winter'.
Sunday's storm won't be a '78/2015 blizzard, not a lot of wind to create megadrifts, but with temps barely breaking 0 (yep), it's not going to melt and you might have trouble getting out for all the fixins because your car won't start. So go out today

So the Democrats, instead of voting no on absolutely everything until we have constitutional rule of law again, are instead endorsing giving ICE more money... because historically better equipping and teaching the einsatzgruppen to deescalate would have saved millions of lives? Yeah, I got nothin'.

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.

What I bring up whenever jeezewheezers pull "poverty is a noble test by god" shit is that *wealth* is an even more telling test. TAKE a year's pay from someone and they'll cope because wtf else can they do. GIVE someone a year's pay and watch what they do with it, THAT shows their true character.

Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions — or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

This got buried a bit under all the Venezuela coverage, but while we weren't looking the Trump regime gave up on even more world power just to chase after outdated and poisonous energy production profits.

Wouldn't it be funny (in the 'lolcry' sense) if it turns out Trump's posturing about Greenland is because he's confused Denmark with Switzerland and it's just more petulance about the Nobel Prize?

Machado's sidelining after months of credible reports that the US was quietly preparing her to take power was the single biggest mystery for me in all of this so far--but per usual, it's Trump's Razor: the stupidest goddamn possible explanation is in fact correct
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Ok... Venezuela, horrifying, but no, the Epstein Files are not and will not be pushed out of the news. 119–38 still requires their full release, with *only the victims redacted*. And to be clear, "famous person facing jail time for what they did if it's made public" is not what victim means.

Calling it "the most NYC thing imaginable" has, I think, a slightly higher bar than that... but it's definitely, commendably, A NYC thing and a laudable kick in the teeth to all the bigots trying to memory hole the Great American Melting Pot.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
