I couldn’t recommend THE SWEDISH CONNECTION on Netflix more highly; a great story about a “nobody,” who saved more than 100k people in WWII.

If you watch James Talarico's soundbites from last night's Bill Maher show, you will understand why the GOP is absolutely terrified of him.

And bought TrumpCoin.

Among the most important signs of how SCOTUS might rein in a President's claim to emergency powers is:

Chief Justice Roberts with Justices Gorsuch and Barrett on the 'major questions' doctrine.

The three express deep skepticism of claims to open-ended emergency powers:

BOOOOOOOOOOM

SCOTUS: Hold our beers

What a joke.

"The White House Still Can’t Grasp That Americans Pay US Tariffs" www.cato.org/blog/white-h... via @CatoInstitute

"We now count at least seven independent studies since October 2025 that... have found that Americans are bearing most of the tariffs’ economic burden" 😲

Is it a good idea to be releasing this publicly?

This is the kind of framing that gets the NYT in trouble. This guy's surname gets 2,650 hits in the Epstein files, and this makes it look like he was at a fundraiser and bumped into Epstein at the cash bar. Come on, now.

The current POTUS embarrasses this country every time he goes oversees, so what exactly am I supposed to be worried about here?

GTFOH.

WHAT FEMA travel????

Now that’s a headline. 🤡

Our running list of judges who have ruled on ICE’s mass detention policy POLITICO is keeping track of the federal judges who have ruled on the administration’s effort to systematically lock up thousands of people.

NEW: Here’s our searchable list of federal judges who have ruled on the legality of ICE’s mass detention policy — with links to key decisions by each.

At least 380 district judges have rejected it in ~3,800 cases. 31 have upheld ICE’s approach ~180 times

i see this was during an interview with the well know and objective Joe Kernen - anyhow the tvs nearest me are on the olympics - did anybody on the foxnews segment on cnbc push against this in the slightest?

What, if any reporting is there on what effect these illegal/immoral strikes are having on the street price of drugs? My guess is, almost none.

Rick Steves and the Defense of American Democracy Rick Steves recently delivered a powerful address in defense of American democracy in his hometown of Edmonds, Washington.  We’ve all been thinking and reading about this topic a lot, but I think Rick...

My friend @ricksteves.bsky.social calls out MAGA’s lies and policies that are eroding democratic norms, including how federal budget choices are shifting wealth from working people to the rich.

LA Lakers Co-Owner’s Firm Linked to Proposed $80 Million ICE Warehouse Deal in Texas The unwelcome facility would detain up to 9,500 people

Majestic Realty, which is owned by Los Angeles Lakers & Kings co-owner & Republican donor Ed Roski Jr., is listed as the broker contact on the listing for a proposed $80M ICE detention facility.

These globally recognized sports brands could suffer reputational damage. Time to boycott?

Oscar-winning director Hamdan Ballal: “Nearly a year after we won, the same Israeli settler who attacked me after I returned from LA again led an attack against my family. 4 of my family members are currently arrested, one in the hospital… we call the police, they do nothing.”

So, to sum up the strategy here, the US thinks the best way to "revitalize" a relationship is to kick its counterparties in the nuts, and insult them as publicly as possible. Real 3D chess stuff.

I’ve been thinking about @carlquintanilla.bsky.social tweet for weeks.

It suggests Canada could turn off the taps to the USA before the midterms, send gas prices skyrocketing, and break Republicans’ hold on Congress, with little downside to ourselves.

This should be planned and done.

Let's face it, this is a plus for getting hired in this clown car administration.

1/ From US District Court Judge Richard J. Leon, a Bush appointee, regarding Showboat Hegseth's attempt to punish Mark Kelly:

A documentary by The Kyiv Independent about Ukrainian military medics working on the front lines of Russia’s war will be screened in three European capitals in February, marking the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Completely outrageous.

Who wants to clean and polish some historical markers?
