In Gorsuch’s Homage to Legislative Power, a Subtle Reproach of a Neutered Congress

☝️"we have this ruling now that so clearly puts the power back in Congress’s hands, the House’s hands,” Mr. Bacon said. “We have to stand up on our own two feet and use these authorities, because that’s what the founders intended.”

🤔 If Trump lusts over his own daughter, why is it so hard to imagine he does it other underage girls?

✔️ The View, 2006: “If she weren’t my daughter I might be dating her”
✔️ Howard Stern Show: "She’s got the best body.”
✔️ Rolling Stone, 2015: "If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father…”

The great Hannah Arendt, German-Jewish political theorist and refugee who fled Nazi Germany, warned that totalitarianism doesn’t just teach lies —it destroys the ability to think.

Watch how MAGA attacks schools, media, and facts. It’s not about belief. It’s about breaking the capacity to form one.

Fantastic SNL skit.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

For this horribly evil group, EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

It's my theory that Bannon is involved in all of this (google the suspicious way his wife died) and used the Qanon nonsense as a gaslighting play WAY before the truth would come out.

The responsible follow-on question in this whole meta debate about hate speech is: how do we protect both those in the crosshairs of both violent and hate speech, while also maintaining a wide berth for freedom of speech (though the term "freedom of speech" must be defined more precisely)

US builds website that will allow Europeans to view blocked content Freedom.gov appears to be administered by a branch of the Department of Homeland Security

🚨 US Gov planning a site to let Europeans bypass EU blocks on hate speech, extremist propaganda & incitement to violence by routing traffic via the US.

Let's be clear: saying the EU is “anti‑free speech” for curbing violent speech is absurd, geopolitical trolling --NOT protecting freedoms.

Time to play “deliberate misinformation or genuine moron?” My favorite Republican game.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

Why the next "No Kings" could be the biggest one yet "My goal here is a unified, strong opposition party to the regime," Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, said ahead of the March 28 protests.

“My goal here is a unified, strong opposition party to the regime."

It's AWESOME... both amazing teams, some of the best hockey I've seen in a long time. Regardless of who wins, I'm lovin it. 1st period was Canada; US dominated the 2nd, but Canada goalie on fire; we'll see what happens in the 3rd.....

ROYAL COMMUNICATIONS Thursday, 19th February 2026 A STATEMENT FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.

In unhinged brief, Wisconsin GOP compares not giving the Trump DOJ voters' personal data to Jim Crow The Wisconsin GOP delivered a culture war-addled screed complete with typographical errors, segregation-era comparisons, anti-immigrant panic and ad hominem attacks.

(1/4) NEW: Wisconsin Republicans filed an unhinged amicus brief urging a court to force the state to hand the DOJ its complete voter rolls.
But it wasn’t a typical filing.

Instead, it was a culture war-addled screed complete with segregation-era parallels, anti-immigrant panic and attacks.

Women's Rights are Democratic Rights: The Global Authoritarian Backlash to Gender Equality, by Hillary Rodham Clinton

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women.

As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us:

Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight.

I would not count out UKR, with or without the US. Russia is literally crumbling on the inside. Anything that RUS is using for leverage is literally their last hail mary. And EU is definitely paying A LOT of attention.

They don't have any choice, really.😟
