@adamsmith.house.gov What say you?
.@adamsmith.house.gov has taken more money from Palantir execs than any other Dem in Congress. Adam MUST pledge to not take any more dirty technofascist money and donate the cash he has taken. Are your reps on the Palantir payroll? via @purgepalantir.bsky.social 👉 purgepalantir.com/the-palantir...

I mean...the reason he's able to hoard insane amounts of wealth and launch a Holocaust against the world's poor by ending USAID is bc something is deeply wrong with him. I'm sure he's incapable of knowing contentment and human connection. And on some level he knows that.

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

A couple random thoughts of the day:

- Gangsters paradise sounds alright in woodwinds.

- Wearing a bro vest and telling dudes their unsolicited opinion sucks is better than w/o a vest

Biggest takeaway from the Paul Rothrock interview is he’s a low-key urbanist. Has real thoughts on commuter vs metro rail, where we should be putting mass transit and expressed an affinity for Olmsted parks.

Did anyone ask Lewabdiwski if he would visit the White House, Congress, or seemingly anywhere else a rich person might be? Cause, bet.
Corey Lewandowski: "I was really gonna go to the Super Bowl, but then Bad Bunny showed up. Listen -- anybody who is an American has nothing to worry about. It's the rapists and the murderers and the sex traffickers and child pedophiles who are in this country who need to be worried."

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
