Meme of Trump-to-NYT translator:

Trump: ... THE SOMALI PIRATES RANSACKED MINNESOTA ... EVEN AS HE WAS GUSHING BLOOD, WHICH WAS FLOWING BACK DOWN THE AISLE HELICOPTER LANDS AT A STEEP ANGLE .... BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HAMAS WORKED ALONG WITH ISRAEL AND THEY DUG, AND THEY DUG, AND THEY DUG... I'VE ALWAYS WANTED THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR...

NYT Translation: In his first State of the Union address of his secondโœฉ term, President Trump offered a rosy portrait of a U.S. that has lost confidence in his leadership.

Mandatory waiting periods are both harmful and stupid. Scheduling appointments with ANY medical provider takes time. Anyone needing time to make a medical decision takes that time BEFORE CALLING FOR AN APPOINTMENT. Many people take more time after a consult. NONE of this requires legislation.

James Van Der Beek, Teenage Heartthrob of โ€˜Dawsonโ€™s Creek,โ€™ Dies at 48

People may remember James Van Der Beek from Dawson's Creek but I will always remember him from "Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23." It was a very underrated show. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/a...

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and heโ€™s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

I get this, but here's where I'm at:

Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hatesโ€”first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of colorโ€”& I'm gonna root for them.

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks itโ€™s โ€œcoolโ€ that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

So I realize there are certainly local politicians who have this aim in practice, but has there ever been a political figure at the national level who openly declared their desire to make homeownership more expensive and unattainable?
