The married couple who appeared at Sochi as the team from the Caribbean nation of Dominica don't exactly represent the Olympic ideal.

A Missouri grandma spent months in detention for a decade-old misdemeanor.
Her story underscores just how far the Trump administration is willing to go in its quest to boost deportations, extending its dragnet to people who are legally present in the country. https://wapo.st/4cqbLvn

Green Day is now a unit measurement when describing how much the NFL hates Trump.
To wit: They hate him 3 Green Days.
Work that into your own lexicon.

Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off.
Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this.
Miami deserves better.

Gimenez: "We've been warning the administration about the enforcement that's been going on. We thought there should've been a course correction a long time ago, and now I guess it's gonna be forced on us by the Democrats. We should've been focusing on criminals and gang members, not grandmothers."

Such a good piece. "Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America."
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Minneapolis is winning. The tide is shifting. Can you feel it? It’s their Gettysburg. The first Minnesota is charging down the hill, bayonets drawn. This is their furthest advance and they will go no further. WE ARE GOING TO WIN

Keep these guys talking. They're talking to the one group that really knows what the 2A is and that group is beginning to learn in real time that the Trump Administration is lying to them
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

A completely insane take.
Also, guess what gun ICE issues to it's officers? That's right, the same Sig P320 Pretti was carrying.

ICE is distinguishable by their rotundity, their stature, their slobby half-civilian uniforms, their visible lack of physical conditioning, and their total lack of training.
Border Patrol is distinguishable because they’re always equipped like they’re about to ship out for Fallujah.

They have lost McChrystal
This afternoon, retired Army general Stanley McChrystal spoke at the retirement ceremony hosted by HRC for six trans service members who were forced out under Trump’s ban.
“I shouldn’t have to be thanked for being here. First off, we shouldn’t be here. This shouldn’t be happening.”
