This poll was commissioned by the Crockett campaign and after claiming that Crockett outperforms Talarico it offers no data to back that up---only data about Crockett beating Paxton

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

We should do everything we can to help Democratic politicians leave Twitter behind. Help the AG out!

Will Johnson, a pro-Trump podcaster in Texas, said the comedian's fake ICE tip line is unfair to the nearly 100 people who have tried to use it to snitch on their neighbors.

“He’s making people who are reporting people taking advantage of the system look like just bad human beings."

Remember, these guys fired all the people who actually know what they're doing because "DEI" and then hired the absolute dumbest people imaginable because of "meritocracy" and... then they do stuff like leaving comments enabled in their "this is how we concentration camp" PDF.

Top marks to Bedford Borough Council on both history and astrophysics. 🔭

Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group President Donald Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

How do you feel about having paid about $1,000 in Trump tariffs over the past year?

These aren't people. They are barely creatures.

There is no suffering that would surpass what they deserve.

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Why CBS Didn't Broadcast Stephen Colbert's Interview With James Talarico

CBS censored The Colbert show in deference to the Trump administration. The only appropriate response is to make sure the censored material is seen by far more people than watch the Colbert show.

This clip where Colbert talks about the censorship.

FINALLY! A federal district court judge who recognizes that preserving the status quo ante during the pendency of civil litigation means restoring things to how they were BEFORE the actions by the U.S. government that caused the plaintiffs to file the lawsuit, NOT to keep the new federal changes.

This won't be a platform. Eventually llms will be so cheap that they'll be boring open source software that runs on your device

Yes, I, too, wish to have my understanding of the world filtered through a techbro's newest ad platform.

Although AI isn't yet being used the right way, I do think that the future of journalism is headed more towards reporting. I expect that ultimately everyone will have a personal AI that gathers up the facts being reported by journalists they trust and presents them in the readers preferred style.

But you can see the tik tok logo and account on the video which shows it is from Tik tok which is much better about sharing. Which is why I am picked that I cannot find it on the account there.

I would like to help this reach people outside the Blue sky bubble

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

this is hearwarming but I couldn't find the video on the cr.indivisible tiktok.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MARK KELLY, Plaintiff, Civil Case No. 26-81 (RJL) V. PETE HEGSETH, et al., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION February 12, 2026 [Dkt. #2] United States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these issues. Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over the military. This Court will not be the first to do so!

Worse still, Secretary Hegseth contends that this Court is not yet competent to decide the issues in this case. He and his fellow Defendants argue that military personnel 1 Case 1:26-cv-00081-RJL Document 37 Filed 02/12/26 Page 2 of 29 decisions are exempt from judicial review and, in any event, that Senator Kelly should first be required to go through the military appeals process so the military can have the first crack at adjudicating his First Amendment rights. I disagree. This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees. After all, as Bob Dylan famously said, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their Government, and our Constitution demands they receive it! Senator Kelly's First Amendment claim is not only justiciable; he is likely to succeed on the merits. He has also shown irreparable harm, and the balance of the equities fall decidedly in his favor. As such, his motion for a preliminary injunction on his First Amendment claim is hereby GRANTED.

BREAKING: Judge blocks Hegseth effort to punish Sen. Kelly.

"This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees."

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Bondi Spying On Congressional Epstein Searches Should Be A Major Scandal

Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Among the more notable exchanges was when Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked some of Jeffrey Epstein's victims who were in the audience to stand up…

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
