Trump also holds the record for the longest government shutdown. Twice.

Happy no current Presidents’ Day.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.

Opinion | The Depravity of Trump’s Immigrant Detention The president’s immigration dragnet is vicious but not surprising.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

The Trump administration is “using detention to inflict pain on anyone — immigrant or citizen — caught in its grasp,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Peter Attia appears to be staying at CBS News despite Epstein communications Staffers believe network has decided to retain Attia, who issued apology after inappropriate Epstein emails, as on-air analyst

cancelling associates of sex trafficking pedophiles is woke

Lo siento mucho, Laura. QEPD 🙏🏽

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

(From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.

But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.

No compromise.

Watergate pales before this.

So good

The GOP's Big Beautiful Bill gave Trump tens of billions of dollars to create a domestic militia and prison system that he was all but certain to employ to assault our democracy, as I said last July.
Now that Republicans are poised to suffer a catastrophic electoral loss, that assault beginning.....

Trump Nominates an Apostle of ‘White Erasure’ for the State Department

White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @camcgrady.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Members of the Swarovski family were early, active and enthusiastic champions of Nazism, and at least six of its members maintained membership in the illegal party prior to Austria's annexation to Nazi Germany on 12 March 1938.!23] Three weeks earlier, 500 marchers in the Tyrolean town of Wattens held a torchlight procession that ended with chants of "Sieg Heil" and "Heil Hitler". The majority of the participants, police determined, were Swarovski plant employees, among them Swarovski family heirs Alfred, Wilhelm and Friedrich. 124]

In its report to the state police on 14 February 1947, the Innsbruck district administrator called company head Alfred Swarovski "an enthusiastic member of the NSDAP." [25] Alfred Swarovski praised Hitler at business gatherings and took actions as a regional business leader to ensure that "Tyrolean industry could be integrated as smoothly as possible into the enormous gears of the economy of Greater Germany and into the National Socialist economic order." He sent "grateful loyalty greetings" to Adolf Hitler on his 49th birthday and arranged a donation of 100,000 shillings for Hitler to establish a holiday home in Tyrol.!26]

In 1994, historian Horst Schreiber wrote about Swarovski's past but was not granted access to company archives. (27] The contemporary Swarovski company commissioned historian Dieter Stiefel as "a step towards dealing with our history in a serious and very pro-active manner," board spokesman Markus Langes-Swarovski said in 2018; however, the study was not published because, Langes-Swarovski said, "Swarovski is a company that generally tries to keep the owners' personal stories largely out of the public eye because it does nothing for the business." (28]

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.

Screenshot of a tweet from a Democratic congresswoman stating that Epstein-related files remain redacted for Members of Congress and alleging that Pam Bondi has been tracking which members reviewed the files. Below is a split-screen news image showing Rep. Jasmine Crockett speaking on ABC News Live Prime alongside a photo of Jeffrey Epstein, with a caption about viewing unredacted Epstein files.

It's clearly a cover up, and they think we’re all stupid and won't notice.

Notice how “resigned” keeps meaning “got caught.”

Now do Howard Lutnick.

If you are grandfathered in to Ring you can turn off all the settings for Police and “pet” surveillance permissions, which are of course default on. Control Center —> public safety and Control Center —> Search Party (this is the one from the Super Bowl ad)

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too

the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

I don’t know much about Chinese spies, but I do think the US has a huge continuity problem now. It would seem foolish to expect the US government to keep promises beyond a single presidential term, even if it’s supported by law, because Americans may at any point install a lawless administration.

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight.

The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel

This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties.

That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:

If anyone has any evidence that folks doing the kind of activism and observing that Pretti and Good were doing when killed were inspired by *elected officials,* I'd love to see it.

Because from my reporting in Minneapolis, exactly zero people cited elected officials as inspiration.

Not only did the administration not accomplish its stated goal of targeting Somali fraud, it caused the US attorneys who were actually prosecuting the fraud to resign in disgust

"ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency" is not the type of thing you say if you're winning the argument

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

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"

An image we won't soon forget. Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to look at Epstein survivors pictured behind her on the Hill today.

Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to apologize to survivors of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a hearing today, as they raised their hands to reflect that Trump's DOJ has ignored them.

Bondi openly refused to acknowledge them.
