The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

This has nothing to do with fraud.

The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Shoutout to everyone who says this was going to be a unity speech 🙄

Royal family is considering removing Andrew from Succession.

He is 8th in line, so there are low chances he will live that long, but it's just on the Principle.

Armed Police rammed into his accommodation on his birthday, just to add salt to the injury.

Long Live the United Kingdom! #MainBastards

Massie goes full beast mode today.

Gets on the house floor, shreds the DOJ and starts naming names from the Epstein files.

Morning.

A British grandmother with a valid UK passport and visa was held prisoner by ICE for six weeks because apparently “individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Bezos is the enemy. #NoAmazon #NoWholeFoods #NoAmazonFresh #TaxtheOligarchs

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

Can't hide the #EpsteinFiles, #PedophileProtectors @DOJ

#PrinceAndrew has been arrested!!!! I hope he has protection!!!! This is going to get ugly and fast!

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Holy shit.

A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

JUST IN: Les Wexner submitted a written statement to House Oversight ahead of his testimony on Jeffrey Epstein.

In the letter, Wexner says he was “naive” and duped by Epstein, calls him a “con man,” and insists he cut ties nearly two decades ago and had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal conduct.

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

They know something we only suspect. 🤬🤬

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Hey there Pam Bondi if you have nothing to hide why were you tracking what congressmen were searching on the Epstein files?

Why uh…. Why…. Why so nervous?

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.
