Gary Bettman said at a press conference here in Milano that the NHL is in a unique position compared to other sports because it is the only league that interrupts its season for the Winter or Summer Olympic Games.

WNBA
NWSL
PWHL

Others I'm surely missing

Care to chime in?

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

This is Bailey. She normally gets kibble for dinner but she's pretty sure there's meatballs in here so she's very excited. 14/10 (TT: baileycarriesthings)

It's time, Canada. You'll be greeted as liberators

"For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty." -Mamdani

wild to me that grand juries - grand juries, the part of the legal system where the only ones presenting their case are the government! - have shown more resistance to all of this than most elite institutions

This writer is so close to getting it! So close!

He even makes the connection of The Purge and Handmaid's Tale!

As I've said before, a lot of dystopian horror, is just, "😱What if someone treated us, the way we've treated Black people?!"

The purge is Sundown towns.

Handmaid's Tale is slavery.

We are at a weird point where people feel insecure about their skills due to the rise of AI, so the new flex is how much you are overusing AI.

At the end of the day, the question is how much more money you are making or saving by using AI, not how much you’re paying Anthropic for Claude Code tokens

just a fucking weird statement on it's face but also highlights how filthy rich and completely out of touch trump's whole cabinet is. a private boat for a family vacation? stopping by a billionaire's island for lunch? nannies, plural?? the epstein class, indeed.

"yes, I did take my kids to the pedophile island, which I previously lied about publicly and you should not read into that. I mean come on guys, it's not like I LEFT them there"

Lawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledge Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

Breaking MS NOW:

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

Jesus Christ return before 2027 Odds >5% February 17, 12-1 AM? 29% chance

On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year.

29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now.

Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

Kash Patel stopped FBI agents from investigating Renee Good’s killing because the findings might’ve contradicted their narrative that she was a “domestic terrorist.”

We cannot trust a word coming out of this Admin.

DHS must allow Minnesotan authorities to investigate, NOW.

Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example | Fortune The Gen Z Swedish climate activist is a legionnaire of the Antichrist, Thiel claims, a “Luddite” who wants to halt technological progress in its tracks.

This is not a sane person.

Feel like there has been a lot of “conspiracy theorists were right” but what actually happened was victims were and that’s much harder to accept for most people

For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career — from his embrace of birtherism to his hatred of birthright citizenship — cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism. Trump is not profound. He has been the same person this whole time. The question is why so many others have refused to see what he has never bothered to hide.

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

But if almost half of all Americans are non-white...

And even ~50% of those white Americans hate racism...

then why does "assimilate" mean "join the most racist half of white Americans that want to make everything worse?"

Assimilate is a BS term and I reject it entirely.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

if you see someone posting "I CANT BELIEVE IT, HOLY SHIT" or "THIS IS UN-FUCKING REAL" later this afternoon know with confidence it's either someone watching "the big game" or more evidence of elite wrongdoing uncovered in the unending global pedophile trafficking scandal

When I went on my six year hiatus, and someone was, like, “Veerender, your hiatus lasted longer than the Confederacy. You should have a statue.”

They were so correct for that.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

As you watch MAGAs lose their minds, remember:

1. MAGAs voted unanimously AGAINST banning gerrymandering—Democrats voted unanimously to BAN gerrymandering.

2. MAGAs can stop all this by passing HR 1 to ban gerrymandering. But they won’t. They don’t care about democracy—only raw power.

Hypocrites.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it

Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal.

@passantino.bsky.social has the details in his Saturday @status.news column: www.status.news/p/washington...

Concentration camps. That's what they are.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
