For the first time ever, Team USA finished a solo 2nd place in both gold medals and total medals at the Winter Olympics. It's the best we've ever done.

And U.S. women carried Team USA on their backs:

67% of gold medals, 61% of total medals.

Thanks, Title IX!

“we strongly urge the newly-reconstituted Board to rescind the appointment of Mr. Beardsley, form a search committee with more than token faculty representation and begin anew the…search for a president whose scholarly record, professional experience and personal attributes better qualify them.” 🔥🔥🔥

Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government?

He should be held accountable.

Trump told Marjorie Taylor Greene to stop pursuing the Epstein investigation because it would hurt his friends

Like Howard Lutnick

THEY DID IT!!

If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.

This is the sort of juicy story of government suppressing speech that Bari Weiss loves to cover!
[No mention in CBS News or The Free Press]

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

So are you going to vote to confirm him anyway, just like you’ve voted to confirm Phelan and other unqualified nominees?

We must continue to speak out loudly until all children are released from the dangerous and cruel practice of family detention.

As pediatricians, we call for immediate release of these children- we know all too well the immediate and longterm harms of detention: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

House Dem identifies ‘wealthy, powerful men’ DOJ redacted in Epstein files Rep. Ro Khanna read out the names of the six individuals on the House floor, where they will now be entered into the Congressional Record.

Rep. Ro Khanna just read on the House floor the names of the six 'wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted in the Epstein files:

Leslie Wexner
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem
Salvatore Nuara
Zurab Mikeladze
Leonic Leonov
Nicola Caputo

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Period.

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.

lol

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

This English twat did more damage to our city than when the British army set it on fire. Good riddance.

What’s going on in Tim Kaine’s head that makes him think that voting for Trump nominees is a good idea? How many more pedophiles like Phelan will you vote to confirm?

Lucas single-handedly destroying Youngkin’s legacy projects (sports teams in NoVa, suburban GOP that can win) was remarkable to watch

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

AYFKM, @kaine.senate.gov ? Why are you continuing to vote for these fascist-approved nominees? How does this square with your alleged commitment to women’s right to bodily autonomy?

A historic photo of the Greensboro 4.

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do.

Aside from what Roberts says, which is true, this “reckoning” talk loses the plot.

Among Dem voters, any reckoning won’t be over Biden’s health, but over his style of governing — which focused on policy and economics over MAGA’s subversion of the rule of law. His presidency’s mortal flaw was there.

The Buckley court was right that threats to free speech and association, and the dangers of incumbency-protecting laws, mean that courts should closely scrutinize campaign money laws. But that should not doom all attempts to level the playing field or limit the risk of corruption from nine-figure campaign contributions, mostly to ostensibly independent groups. If Congress passed a law with generous contribution and spending limits, and strong disclosure rules, we could have ample breathing room for vigorous and competitive campaigns without the danger of the wealthy swamping our democracy. Because Buckley was a constitutional decision, there are only two paths to overturn it. One is to get a court majority to rethink the case’s fundamental mistakes. With the current makeup of the court, that seems unlikely. An even harder road is to amend the Constitution to allow for a better balance between the rights of free speech and the risks of corruption and oligarchy. We should not give up the struggle over our money-in-politics rules. But we must recognize that there will be fierce resistance from the moneyed interests who benefit from a system giving them outsize influence over who is elected and what politicians do once they are in office. A real democracy deserves better than Buckley.

There's been a lot of discussion about the echoes of the civil rights movement in the protests today, with people obviously drawing comparisons between the strategies, tactics and coalitions that were vital then and are still vital now.

But this post has me thinking about a different echo ...

Running list of athletes who have spoken out or taken action amid the Trump-Vance administration spending billions of US tax dollars on masked agents who have racially profiled, beaten, and kidnapped thousands of people — and murdered Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti:

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Trump needs to go. He needs to be impeached and removed. Now.
