Olympic athletes retiring at 28 while a slippery shower is a direct threat to 1/3 of the U.S. legislative body.

Gallego: Lutnick knew he did something wrong because he lied about it. So clearly, you did something wrong. You knew you were doing something wrong. You should not have been associating with this man — and yet you did.

And now we’re supposed to believe everything you say when you’ve already lied?

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost quoting Rep. Johnson questioning a proposal to require passports to register to vote, noting that many Americans do not have passports and asking whether the $150 passport fee would be waived to avoid creating an unreasonable poll tax. Below is a CNN screenshot showing a woman speaking remotely, with a banner reading: “DHS FUNDING TALKS AT A STANDSTILL AS DEADLINE APPROACHES.”

Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.

‘No Reason He Should Have Died’: Alex Pretti’s Parents Open Up

Alex Pretti's parents keep a box crammed with 200 letters and cards that have poured into their Denver home since their son was shot and killed by immigration agents.

"He's my first born," Susan Pretti said. "He's the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day."

Big orange brother and his minions are watching.

Utterly soulless.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech.

Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.

Should. Won’t.

Watched them destroy Canada (sans Poulin) yesterday and they looked like an unbeatable wagon with no weak spots. Hoping it continues right through the gold medal game. They’re formidable despite having fewer pros than the Canadians.

Project Salt Box: How citizen sleuths are monitoring ICE in Maryland Inside their homes scattered around the Baltimore area, the group of watchdogs is unearthing records, like property filings, contracts, and government procurements, that are otherwise overlooked.

On Monday evening, Rachel Maddow spotlighted this group working out of Baltimore. Just another in a long list of unsung, American heroes. Donate to their project!

Why ‘The West Wing’ went from a bipartisan hit to a polarized streaming comfort watch over 2 decades, reflecting profound shifts in media and politics ‘The West Wing’s’ transition from broadcast TV behemoth to ‘bittersweet comfort watch’ in today’s streaming era reveals how much media and political landscapes have changed in the past 25 years.

“The West Wing’s” transition from broadcast television behemoth to “bittersweet comfort watch” in today’s streaming era reveals a lot about how much our media & political landscapes have changed in the past 25 years.

Amusing & fascinating article from two professors of media studies. No pay wall.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

He’s a criminal who can’t resist returning to the scene of the crime.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People

Melanie Stansbury speaking to a crowd

Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “The United States government is engaged in an active coverup of the largest sex trafficking scandal & influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States — and Donald Trump is right at the center of it”

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

With his second-period goal tonight vs. Nashville, Jakob Chychrun becomes the second #ALLCAPS defenseman to post consecutive 20-goal seasons, joining HOFer Larry Murphy (‘85-86, ‘86-87).

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.
