Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

Whoa. Whoa. Don’t overestimate how dumb and callow some in the public can be… I mean, some of them lived through Trump v.1 and still voted for v.2

Clearly sending their brightest...

Sorry

Transgender Chicago man hospitalized after saving baby from drowning in Lake Michigan “I wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Lio Cundiff said.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.

He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Oh sure. Give the DoJ and DNI several more weeks alone with the ballots. Excellent idea.

Just gonna plug the latest episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social once again, because there is an extended portion where Brooke talks about the importance of local news with regard to the expansion of Sinclair and Nexstar. I think it's a huge story that is still probably under-covered.

Weiss’ Recruiting Woes As Bari Weiss works to put her stamp on CBS News, her aggressive recruiting push is running up against a difficult reality: top talent keeps turning her down.

Tom Nichols: “There are people in the Republican Party who think it’s a hoot to post Nazi memes and to use language from the Third Reich, and I wrote it because we can’t keep ignoring this and pretending that it’s normal. The Republicans in fact do have a Nazi problem.”

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Three files/interviews/statements. 50 pages. That's what is missing. Not an anonymous call.

ICE took their papers—and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

In Minnesota, despite showing documents proving active immigration cases, pending visas, or even US citizenship, residents were arrested and detained by ICE for days or weeks.

But many who were later set free are now encountering a new challenge: ICE isn’t giving back their immigration documents.

CBS is unraveling — and it goes beyond Bari Weiss Anderson Cooper departs and Stephen Colbert goes off-script as the network struggles to define its future

CBS handed the shovel to the very man they were trying to bury, and he dug himself out. Stephen Colbert knows he has nothing to lose now.

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

Trump Hit by New Epstein Files Bombshell Before Big Speech An investigation alleges there are more than 50 pages worth of documents missing from the Epstein files that may pertain to allegations against the president.

The bombshell report alleges that the DOJ withheld dozens of documents from the Epstein files that may pertain to a woman who accused Trump and Epstein of sexually abusing her when she was a minor.

Here’s new and irrefutable evidence from the Epstein files that Howard Lutnick made false statements and was misleading about his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. It hasn’t yet caused a storm. So please give it a read and share widely.

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.

I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

Put together the same set with my daughter. It was madness!

Hey y'all, I thought I was signed up to @atrupar.com substack, but I wasn't. Which means I've been benefiting from his tireless work providing direct evidence of Trump's shitshow for free.

I have corrected my mistake. If you enjoy his work, throw him six bucks.

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...
