“Donald Trump said he was ‘entitled’ to five more Congressional seats in Texas. He started this redistricting war. He lost, and he’ll lose again in November,” Newsom penned.

Investors, boards, and CEOs know that DEI is a business imperative, based on data.

The Trump admin war on DEI — now waged against NIKE — is a product of Project 2025, the blueprint for white Christian nationalism.

“ICE GTFO OF MN”

Minneapolis February 4, 2026

😳👀

"The intelligence report at issue is the “most sensitive to date” that has ever been received by the IC inspector general as part of an 'urgent concern' complaint, Fox wrote, and would ordinarily only be briefed verbally to the Gang of 8."

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

The meeting is adjourned. Mayor Kevin Sartor ended the long meeting by saying “We hear you, we have a lot to consider and your voices are impactful and powerful.” Surprise showed tf up. The overflow room filled + hundreds outside. It ended with only 2 speakers in favor of the ICE camp.

It's certainly wild for a newspaper to pursue "people who don't read" as a customer base.

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...

Elect Democrats

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.

It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

NEWS: The U.S. Supreme Court will allow the new California congressional map to stand, rejecting Republicans’ bid to block it. It’s a huge win for Democrats heading into the midterms.

Trump accused of ‘corruption, plain and simple’ after UAE invested in family firm White House says president is not involved in running his businesses. Ethics experts remain concerned

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.

And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

All these elected officials just going in and doing direct things …

All the things the big bad strategists said were

“Too progressive”

Almost like we need to start asking who decides what folks want and how

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

Rhetoric didn’t kill Renee Good or Alex Pretti. An unaccountable federal police force did.

there's something unholy about the Trump administration being laser focused on "fraud" while Trump pardons an endless clown car of fraudsters and bilks taxpayers at every opportunity. it's just transparently absurd.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994 The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void.

Here’s the Cato Institute report:
www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...

Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride

Undocumented immigrants alone saved $1.7 trillion.
2/3

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.
