Trump is bombing Iran the right way.

by Ezra Klein

those 85 schoolgirls will never kill again

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons?

Wait. He didn't.

MEMORANDUM OPINION February 16, 2026 “All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.” George Orwell, 1984' As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 now existed, with its motto "Ignorance is Strength," this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not. The President's House is a component of Independence National Historical Park that commemorates the site of the first official presidential residence and the people who lived there, including people enslaved by President George Washington. On January 22, 2026, the National Park Service ("NPS") removed panels, displays, and video exhibits that referenced slavery and information about the individuals enslaved at the President's House. Plaintiff City of Philadelphia ("the City" filed this lawsuit under the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA") against the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum…

Federal court orders Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits at President’s House in Philadelphia.

Happy Presidents Day.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Medgar Evers home visitors question omissions to his story Medgar Evers home visitors said park rangers told them they can no longer discuss bloodstains on the driveway or refer to his assassin as a racist.

Medgar Evers home visitors question omissions to his story

Medgar Evers home visitors said park rangers told them they can no longer discuss bloodstains on the driveway or refer to his assassin as a racist.

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.

The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

For context: Wayne Connell is the bitch-ass motherfucker who was forcing people back to the newsroom and taking fucking attendance in 2022, and now he doesn’t even have the balls to lay people off to their fucking faces.

“The Nation” Nominates Minneapolis for the Nobel Peace Prize With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for “the positive affirmation of peace.”

As longtime observers of struggles to establish peace and justice in the US and around the world, The Nation is honored to nominate the city of Minneapolis and its people for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

This is your periodic reminder that when Chicago PD murdered Laquan McDonald, Mayor Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder to help his reelection bid.

Suspect arrested in predawn fire that left parts of Mississippi’s largest synagogue in charred ruins A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil rights.

Tim Cook on January 6, 2021: "Today marks a sad and shameful chapter in our nation's history. Those responsible for this insurrection should be held to account, and we must complete the transition to President-elect Biden's administration. It's especially when they are challenged that our ideals matter most."

Tim Cook genuflecting before Trump in the Oval Office as he hands him the bespoke golden tablet that he crafted for him.

Who are the New York Times editors on here who will commission me to write an op-ed like 'John Roberts Just Can't Help Himself: In year-end report, the Supreme Court's Chief Justice continues to distort the past in order to damage democracy in the present.'

It's 2026 I'm shooting my shot

Ahem

Stephen Miller • @St... • 13m Ø Watched the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with my kids. Imagine watching that and thinking America needed infinity migrants from the third world.

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti

Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta

Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

"They pulled her out of Clinton High and moved to Los Angeles at the urging of an uncle of hers who lived there. After finishing school, she began a long career as a pediatric nurse in California."

Nicaraguan Man in ICE Custody Dies in Mississippi Hospital A Nicaraguan man has died in ICE custody at a hospital in Natchez, Mississippi, the seventh reported death of a person in custody this month.

Delvin Francisco Rodriguez, 39, an immigrant from Nicaragua who has been in ICE custody since September, has died in a Mississippi hospital following a “failed test to determine brain function.”

It's unclear what caused his death.

people are clowning on this, but the Canadian mind is cunning, pitiless, steeped in boreal perfidy

I need to read an essay on “boreal perfidy.”

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And why is the Bloomington Herald-Times running articles that lack quotes from Stephen Miller?

Worth remembering that Bari Weiss signed that oh-so-remarkable Harper’s Letter about the vital importance of free speech and the need to resist attacks on it.

I know that letter is five years old now, but utterly annoys me as much today as it did when it came out.

So transparently bad.

If JD Vance had to fly commercial.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

… and he SERVED ✨

Does Trump pardon him now? Or after he’s convicted?
