i’m fairly certain ai companies are just paying literally every company to use ai in ads, generate ai video ads, interview ai people without questioning any of the shit they say, it’s all ad on top of ad

In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasn't moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

In an alternate world, “Trump could be riding high simply by securing the border [and conducting regular deportations in the manner] the Constitution requires.

“But that is not what the admin is doing. It’s procuring a series of detention facilities that are concentration camps in all but name.”

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

He's a white nationalist. He promotes Nazi conspiracies and is obsessed with saving the white birth rate.

What more do people need to hear or see?

The Republican Party:

MAJOR BREAKING: Federal Judge Boasberg just ordered Trump to facilitate the return of 137 different Venezuelan men he had deported to El Salvador to the CECOT prison.

US businesses and consumers pay 90% of tariff costs, New York Fed says Central bank’s research undercuts Trump’s claims that foreign companies will pay for levies

Impossible to have predicted this outcome.

This is a pogrom

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race

I’m continue to be confused why many excused Merrick Garland for his lack of immediate action against Trump. They went on for years—he followed the law…

Garland appointed Jack Smith in NOV 2022

Why did Garland wait for almost 2 fucking years to appoint Jack Smith, then said “we ran out of time.”

Insane.

Pam Bondi bringing up a booming stock market in response to a question about child predation may not be as non sequitur as it seems, since those same men are no doubt also benefiting from the booming market. She might as well have responded, “These are very wealthy predators, you understand.”

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Rep. Crow: " I have a message for the Trump administration: If you are turning your back on the law, turning your back on the Constitution, cowing to Donald Trump, and abusing the American system of justice…you cannot hide and escape accountability. Justice is coming."

If you don't think Pam Bondi won't gleefully commit election fraud for Trump, you ain't paying attention.

RASKIN: President Trump may have been a little bit embarrassed by the release of his tax return. If Trump can get $10 billion, how much do you think the claims of these Epstein survivors are worth?

BONDI: You have Trump derangement syndrome

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist!

Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.
