We literally had to pass a law to create a posting on in government that would audit the statehouse.
Massachusetts has spent months delaying & denying @boltsmag.org’s public records requests on how many people it has transferred ICE during Trump as part of its formal contract with ICE.

A supervisor of records ruled last week that the state’s denials are improper; we hope to get records soon.
Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts
As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Too much of our judicial system is built upon “Ok we’ll promise you won’t lie and we will believe you” for people in power and that fundamentally doesn’t work when the people in power are the worst people on the planet.

Bahahahahaha the median 4 person household income in the USA is $124,000. Imagine over half of that income being subject to potential medical payment exposure while PAYING FOR MEDICAL INSURNACE.

The Trump administration proposed two new ACA ideas this week:

1. Catastrophic plans with deductibles of $15,600 per person.

2. Qualification of non-network plans, where insurers determine how much to pay and patients shop for providers that accept it or face a balance bill.

I agree with most of the public if we replace the word "Impeached" with "Hanged in Public".

I’ve been saying for years that the number of people (lots of wonderful hardworking people btw) that work in healthcare in this country versus the actual health OUTCOMES in this country make zero sense when you look at them. It’s only when you factor greed into the equation.

The U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but that number should be viewed as a house of cards.

1) Initial jobs numbers were revised down for EVERY month in 2025 after audit.
2) There have been tens of thousands of announced job cuts in January.
3) More job cuts are to be announced.

Oh so it’s going to be BAD BAD
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

The top five teams in the NFC would have destroyed the Pats.
It would have been really hard to beat the Seahawks on the road but goddamnit the bears would have smoked the patriots

I didn’t understand more than like ten words but the was the best halftime show in like the last decade.

They’ve been editing “Under the MAGA agenda” into the song. Unclear if that is what was said.
Original lyrics:

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America

Is that what he sang?
Was that a bleep?

I'm willing to admit the Epstein papers prove the centrists right about Russiagate if the centrists are willing to admit the Epstein papers prove leftists right about our entire philosophical worldview and also everything else.

Working class versus Epstein class.

I love this framing.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

@halilsfbtalk.bsky.social when are we dropping bowl bets.

I have two minds about this game. The regional kind says bet my house on the Seahawks. It also seems like someone sold their soul to give the Pats a Super Bowl this year and there will be injuries immediately giving them an easy win

The GOP entered the Gerrymandering race only to promptly pull a Riley Gaines and come in 5th. Waiting for them to blame trans people on their loss.

I’m very happy someone who is SO FUCKING GOOD at politics isn’t a sociopath for once. It’s nice.

Everyone in those Epstein files has to be publicly executed. There’s genuinely no other way forward.
