He is saying what Mike Johnson believes but won’t say. The Republican majority is more important to them than disavowing a sexual predator boss causing the suicide of staffer.

Exactly this.

The Paranoid Style of Jeffrey Epstein Has Come for Us All The pedophile plutocrat had some peculiar predilections—especially for academics and thinkers who showed a potential to further his grand experiments in inhumanity.

Wrote a piece about many looking at the Epstein case all wrong: He's not the thing that connects a network of rich and powerful men; he's the lens that shows us how they were already connected.

Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes.

If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.

Seriously, fuck this guy

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

And right on cue it is snowing lightly.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Texas congressional candidate with extremist views backed by hard-right donors After tech billionaire Peter Thiel and others donated to Jace Yarbrough’s campaign, Donald Trump endorsed him

Thing is... he doesn't much different than half the other Republican candidates and office holders that open their mouths. Not exactly sure why they singled him out.

Dismantling ICE is insufficient. There needs to be decades of prison time for the ppl who've done things like this.

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

NEW: When North Carolina's GOP wanted to pass a bill last year to require that local governments comply with ICE, they were one vote down.

A Democratic lawmaker gave that decisive vote—as she has on other GOP bills.

Now, she faces a primary challenge from a progressive activist... in 14 days.

Former Assembly member plans to primary Rep. Laura Gillen over ICE funding vote Taylor Darling says she’s running against the Long Island congressional representative, who’s one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the country.

Good.

But this polling data is interesting. They didn't ask the right questions about economic issues and stayed too generic while focusing on the left-right question that is so important to them and really isn't that pertinent these days. Other than that, good stuff that matches other data I've seen.

Where Do Young Men Stand Ahead of the 2026 Midterms? Third Way is a national think tank and advocacy organization that champions moderate policy and political ideas. Our work on the center left acts as a critical bulwark against political extremism.

I'm about to do something I never thought I would do... share something from Third Way. Gack! Cough! Sputter! Puke!

Don't worry. I don't think they are any more right than the Cato people I posted data from a couple times recently.

Dear Kristi... ICE are the modern day Gestapo, the modern day slave hunters. You are a wannabe Heinrich Müller.

I identify as anti-ICE.

Graph showing Democratic margins in Virginia special elections compared to 2020 presidential margins. 9 of 11 specials have Dem overperformances for the 2026 cycle, despite mostly taking place in very blue districts. In contrast, only 4 of 12 specials show Dem overperformances for the 2022 and 2024 cycles.

Two more Dem overperformances in VA specials tonight, in the most Democratic VA districts to have specials in this cycle.

Typically VA is a hard state for Dems to overperform in for specials... but not this year.
