An excellent report and analysis that people, especially news reporters, should read. Challenges a lot of assumptions with just data.

We are in a facist state with Republicans fulfilling their role as Nazis. If you act like a Nazi,then you might be a Nazi

The president and his special envoy are primarily concerned with finding a way to make Putin happy by providing a sufficient reward for his brutal and sadistic war of aggression. We have become a country that sells out our friends and embraces the worst people on the planet.

None of them are going to the Super Bowl.

Trump’s Anger over Prices Goes Nuclear as Fresh Polls Show Him Tanking As Trump’s inflation rants grow more unhinged amid brutal new polls for him, an economics writer explains why Trump is ill-suited for the crisis that might be coming—and why the bottom might be about ...

Trump is absolutely cratering on economy in new Marquette poll:

A skill he developed during his heroin days.

This is intentional Article I sabotage by the most powerful Article I official. This is violence against the constitutional system of checks and balances among 3 coequal branches. Degrading the People’s House.

Trump’s deals are premised on extortion. Hence the capitulation by less powerful adversaries and Trump’s when challenged.

Pretty high percentage

That’s not popular in HotTakeLandia.

It’s important to see that Trump didn’t have to push these people too hard to become fully fascist thugs.

The struggle of being in a state that is governed by right wing fanatics while regular people deal with the nonsense and dysfunction

Trump’s White House Renovation Is Awful—and Fitting The president doesn’t respect what the executive mansion stands for, so why would he respect its architecture?

I hear you and I appreciate your struggle.

And lionized the Uvalde officers who stood silently and armed while elementary school students were murdered. Abbott is a POS, and Texas deserves him. Texas is a soft state that treats its people horribly.

The pardon is at the end of his term. Club Fed is the appetizer

So dangerous on so many levels. Do you know what pictures don’t need to be doctored? Pictures of Epstein and Trump

Holy - and I cannot emphasize this enough - shit.

Also, this guy was a senior project 2025 organizer.

Happy birthday Aquilino

Well done! Point well made.

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Texas leaders are losers as are the voters who keep reelecting them.

He expects a pardon. That guy has defiled the name Steve Miller. A cool Stephan Miller would have used the handle to declare himself the Space Cowboy. Instead he chose Nazi.

Tonight’s game is shaping up as a classic. Intense, physical, sloppy, and frenetic. Lead changes. #okc #ind

Army General Mark Milley: “We don’t take an oath to a kind or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we’re willing to die to protect it.”

REPOST if you stand with General Milley against tRump!

People should boycott the parade!

The ending of the #Cavs game so embodies the gut wrenching heartbreak that is Cleveland sports.
