Rep. Jonathan Jackson confirms that Mike Johnson rejected a request to have a tribute for his father Jesse Jackson in the US Capitol

Wow. Mike Johnson only took 2 Qs during today's House R presser - he usually takes at least 4 - and neither was about Rep. Tony Gonzales. Johnson is refusing to call for Gonzales's resignation following the release of texts showing he pressured an aide who later committed suicide for sexual photos.

I predict The State of the Union will sound like an angry drunk who just got dropped by their other half on Valentine's Day.

It's going to be epically bitter and messy.

Opinion | Marco Rubio Is Failing Western Civ

Marco Rubio, and the rest of Trump's minions, are rewriting our history.

We are all immigrants. Of all religions. And we are Americans.

How have they traded Jefferson, Adams, and Madison for George Orwell? And why would they do this for Donald J. Trump?

Why?

John Roberts Wrote the Permission Slip for the Fulton County Fiasco - emptywheel DOJ's improper seizure of Fulton County's 2020 ballots may be a test of the new powers John Roberts gave Donald Trump in his 2024 opinion in Trump v. US.

Seems like brilliant legal minds are fighting the government's seizure of Fulton County's 2020 election records.

Here's hoping it matters to an administration that cares not for legalities.

Crypto Is a Victim of Its Own Success Bitcoin, which has been plummeting in value, has come to feel less like a rebel upstart, more like an eccentric uncle.

Why is crypto crashing?

β€œEveryone expects crypto to either keep tumbling or rebound sharply. But predicting what comes next is impossible because its fundamental worth relies too heavily on storytelling, and its advocates haven’t found a new story to sell.”

Opinion | I Hold Pam Bondi in Contempt

Like Frank Bruni, I haven't been able to get Pam Bondi's performance in front of Congress the other day out of my mind.

What a sad day for the republic. The DOJ now can disregard questions from washed-up loser lawyers. Call them names and deflect. The MAGA strategy.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

This is where things could get very hairy in the months ahead. Are you OK with DOJ going through your posts?

Where is the panic the right demonstrated around Jade Helm in 2015?

We've got military in real-life streets, not for training, but for rounding up people to place in real-life detention centers, not abandoned Walmarts.

The time for panic is now.

Opinion | The autism epidemic is a myth Most new cases reflect mild or no significant impairment. Moderate and severe cases have declined.

Does anyone listen to the voice of reason anymore?

Autism diagnoses--not autism itself--have risen dramatically. And many of those diagnoses are in people with no significant functional impairment.

Kind of like people without autism.
