I knew the "urbanists just don't understand that not everyone can ride a bike!" people were acting in bad faith but it's wild having them still saying it to me when I'm like "yeah, it literally me - my chronic illness causes fatigue and unpredictable dizziness. I still want bike lanes."

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!

I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.

Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

BREAKING: Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says

I hope she sharpens her teeth & tongue, dips her barbs in poisonous frog toxin, and owns the room!
LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

Trump's election bill tops 50 Senate votes, but Democrats could still block it
The SAVE America Act has passed the House and enjoys President Trump's support, meaning the Senate's 60-vote threshold is the only thing standing in the way of its becoming law.

Talarico hits hard: America's so split we can't even share a Super Bowl—two halftime shows, two realities. What's driving this? Fear. Pure fear. But Bad Bunny's stage? Nothing but joy, unity, beats that lift us all. Ditch the division. Embrace the vibe. One nation, one show. #sheshed

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

The numbers of use of force investigations in this do not correlate w/what Todd Lyons described last week before the Senate (which was less than 50 for the entire year).
"The contents of the emails challenge the administration’s assertions and efforts from its backers in the wake of the Minneapolis shootings to downplay incidents involving ICE’s use of excessive force by arguing that such cases were infrequent." www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
ICE officials knew use of force was rising well before Minneapolis shootings
Internal agency emails show a surge in reports of ICE officers using more force going back nearly a year, but DHS leadership did not see it as a concern to be addressed.
