I’m also thinking about the time Bill Clinton was impeached for - no, really, you won’t possibly believe what Bill Clinton was impeached for given <gestures at everything happening fifty times a day now>
For no particular reason I'm thinking about the time Bill Clinton admitted he smoked pot once in college and it was a month-long administration paralyzing scandal

Kinda feels like this should be a bigger scandal. I know that every day there are a dozen things that should be a scandal. But this one should be bigger.

Under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime.

Dear ICE - There is no statute of limitations for murder. Law enforcement, including ICE, does not have absolute immunity. Presidencies end. Accountability does not.

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

God will not be mocked. Seattle wins and Trump's friend's team loses (teehee!) The Bad Bunny halftime show was iconic, and the only English spoken was by Lady Gaga. As Ice Cube used to say in the before times, today was a good day.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying. I’m gonna listen to Bawitdaba Da Bang Da Bang Diggy Diggy Diggy instead.”
Two days after Trump posts a racist video, he now attacks Bad Bunny: "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying."

He adds: "There is nothing inspirational about this mess."

FYI: The billboard behind Bad Bunny read: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." #SuperBowl

Pete Hegseth complained that the Pentagon sent officers to Harvard to study strategy and leadership — and they came back “too Harvard,” with “globalist, radical ideologies.”

In other words:

The military sent people to learn diplomacy, history, and international law.

Trump regime’s latest effort to whitewash history and control narrative: all State department posts on X made before Trump took office in 2025 will be removed. That includes accounts for US embassies, missions, ambassadors, department bureaus, programs. www.npr.org/2026/02/07/n...

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

The only thing we/you <know> is that the US military, at Trump &/or Hegseth's orders, just murdered more civilians on the high seas. We don't know it was "a suspected drug smuggling boat" & we have absolutely zero reason to believe anything they say anymore.
The latest U.S. strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat has killed two people in the Pacific, this one authorized by the Marine general who took command of military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean earlier in the day.

He doesn’t even try to hide the fact that whether people in a particular state get disaster relief from the federal government depends entirely on partisan politics.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

IMO the NFL knows exactly what they did choosing Bad Bunny & Green Day, the Super Bowl as a wink-wink 🖕🖕 to Trumpism & those that swore they’d leave over anthem kneeling—but didn’t. NFL cares most about growth, which means not aligning w/ a local cult that is widely reviled & increasingly unpopular.
