Remember when Kamala Harris in 2024 called tariffs the Trump Tax and the fact checkers had a nervous breakdown and said tariffs are not technically a tax. I remember.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Trump: "We won World War 1. We won everything. World War 2. And everything before, during, and a little bit after except we fought a little bit differently. We fought to be politically correct. We were a politically correct force with the presidents. But now we have a real force."

over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao

the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes
danny's original tweet which reads, Today, students at my high school in Chicago held an Anti-ICE protest. I was the only one that decided to hold a sign that said ‘I Love ICE’. Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted — Just for standing up for law enforcement. What is happening to America? there is a 47 second video that sees multiple other kids talk smack to him and one of them just lays into him physically a quote tweet that has transcription from the punch. the tweet reads:“You’re gonna punch me?” “Yeah” “Then you’re gonna in trouble for that” “Okay” Followed by this frame is one of the hardest things I’ve seen on the internet this week. the frame in question is the kid winding up for a punch. it looks exactly like the pepe punching meme

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

very funny the NFL implied the arbitrator ruled the report cards were unfair when the arbitrator did no such thing

just write one sentence about the arbitrator's actual ruling, then write the next sentence with the NFL's opinion and combine those things in the reader's minds
Memo from the NFL. February 13, 2026. Subject "Re: NFLPA Report Card Grievance." It reads (truncated): We are pleased to report that the NFL prevailed in the grievance filed against the NFLPA, challenging its practice of creating and publicizing annual "Team Report Cards." The arbitrator held that the publication of Report Cards disparaging NFL clubs and individuals violates the CBA and issued an Order prohibiting the NFLPA from publishing or publicly disclosing the result of future player Report Cards. The NFLPA steadfastly refused to produce any data related to prior years' surveys. However, at the hearing, the NFLPA's witness and counsel charactered the Report Cards as "union speech" an admitted that: (1) the union reviewed player responses and cherry-picked topics and responses to include in the Team Report Cards; (2) players had no role in drafting the commentary included in the Report Cards which was written entirely by union taffers; (3) the union selected which anonymous individual player quotations to include to support its chosen narrative; and (4) the union determined the weight to give each topic and the resulting impact on the grades it assigned. The record established the Report Cards were designed by the union to advance its interests under the guise of a scientific exercise. These facts highlight significant limitations in the methodology and accuracy of the Team Report Card results that have been reported over the past three years. Clubs should continue to solicit feedback directly from their players to assess opportunities for improvement and when considering continued Ownership investment. The arbitrator did not find the union's independent survey necessarily conflicts with its obligation to conduct a joint scientific survey of players' opinions regarding the adequacy of medical care under the CBA. Therefore, the Management Council will continue to work with the NFLPA to design and conduct such a survey in upcoming seasons. A statement released by the NFLPA on February 13, 2026. It reads: An arbitrator has issued a ruling on the NFL's challenge to the NFLPA's Team Report Cards. The program is not going away. The ruling upholds our right to survey players and share the results with players and clubs. While we strongly disagree with the restriction on making those results public, that limitation does not stop the program or its impact. Players will continue to receive the results, and teams will continue to hear directly from their locker rooms. Importantly, the arbitrator rejected the NFL's characterization of the process, finding the Team Report Cards to be fair, balanced, and increasingly positive over time. Our methodology is sound. The Team Report Cards exist to serve player. That mission remains unchanged. We will continue working to ensure players' experiences are heard, respected, and acted on - by their teams, by their union, and wherever else possible.

NEW: We’re publishing a full list of the 373 federal judges who have ruled against ICE’s mass detention policy and the 28 who have endorsed it — as well as links to key rulings by each.

Trump appointees have split 44 against/ 20 for the policy.
