WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Pentagon 'trampled on' the First Amendment in trying to punish Mark Kelly, judge rules | Arizona Mirror Federal judge blocks Pentagon from punishing Mark Kelly over military video, saying Defense Secretary trampled on Constitution

“Donald Trump and his administration don’t like accountability. They don’t like when retired veterans question them. That’s why they are cracking down on our rights and trying to make examples out of anyone they can.”

A+++ post

This is all performative bullshit.

Believe it when you don't see ICE in Minneapolis/Saint Paul anymore.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

CNBC: How unusual is it for a senator to not know what's happening when the FAA shuts down airspace for a major airport for 10 days?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: It's not really my lane right now. It's just not something I'm dealing with. We got so many things we're working on around the world, like Iran

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

House Republicans revolt over GOP’s attempt to hand Trump Congress’ tariff authority In a rare defeat, three House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress’ ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs.

Breaking MS NOW:

In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs.

The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

Massie: "What's happened it seems is that the US attorneys and/or the FBI have redacted documents, given them to the DOJ, and then the DOJ hasn't done their diligence to go get the original documents."

Grand Jury Rebuffs Justice Dept. Attempt to Indict 6 Democrats in Congress

What an ugly assault on First Amendment and on Congress.

Thankfully, thwarted.

"A group of ordinary citizens sitting on the grand jury in Federal District Court in Washington rejected the effort."

Shame on DOJ.

The most blatantly corrupt gangster government in American history. Where are congressional Republicans on this stuff? Nowhere to be found. Vote them ALL out.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now it turns out the whole thing is just election deniers telling the same old lies. Our democracy is in danger but I founded Democracy Docket to help keep you informed on the fight ahead. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

They're not stopping at your birth certificate. SAVE 2.0 would END online voter registration in, KILL mail-in registration, and STOP voter registration drives.

It's a full-scale attack on your right to vote.
Call your MoC (202) 224-3121 and tell them #StopTheSaveAct

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

That’s what’s up.

Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

The right’s response to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance is pretty close to a straightforward demand for white pride worldwide.

Republicans in Congress are nothing but internet trolls.

They aren't there to govern. They are there to fundraise by farming outrage.

Congressman wants to round up and deport people who liked Bad Bunny’s show. This is the Republican Party.

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

Bari Weiss @bariweiss Is Trump really deporting the worst of the worst? Scoop here from @camiloreports in @TheFP who got DHS internal docs . . . Quote Camilo Montoya-Galvez @camiloreports · 4h CBS News Exclusive: An internal DHS document shows that less than 14% of nearly 400,000 individuals arrested by ICE in President Trump's first year back in power had violent criminal records. It's the most detailed look yet at who ICE has arrested.

In highlighting a CBS reporter's story debunking the Trump admin's lies on immigration enforcement, Bari Weiss appears to briefly forget that she now works for CBS and tweets that his story was for The Free Press.
