'Incredibly Damaging to Jews': Calls to Expel Far-right Republican Rep. Randy Fine Over anti-Muslim Post - U.S. News www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

When an attorney general responds to questions about Epstein victims by touting the Dow, something is very wrong. @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss Bondi’s congressional testimony on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider. Listen: cafe.visitlink.me/lKZr85

‘Residential protesting’ could be a crime in Minnesota under new GOP proposal A bill that’s backed by a coalition of GOP lawmakers set to be proposed at the start of the upcoming session would make “residential protesting" punishable under Minnesota law.

The GOP is once again showing its disdain for the Constitution.

Also - a thing I’ve been thinking about is that the Trump admin people thought of Minnesota as a lot of very nice white people who by virtue of being nice were not strong which is part of right wing ideology now

"False herring" instead of "red herring"—not even mentioning how judicial warrants are the LAW?

These Trump fools are so profoundly stupid.

FBI won’t share Alex Pretti shooting evidence, Minnesota authorities say State’s governor had demanded impartial inquiry into the shooting of the VA nurse by federal immigration agents

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:

The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.

Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, and Doug Emhoff appear zero times in the Epstein files.

Trump appears over 1 MILLION times and Epstein introduced Melania to Trump so her foreign born, naked, plagiarizing a** is all over the files. Just saying.

Zoning laws for the win. ⚖️🧐

Most intelligent people see right thru it. Gov Moore is a U.S. Army combat veteran AND was a Rhodes scholar and he's golden.

I just wrote a column about rich people being accorded the presumption that they’re smart when they’re really dumb and it is publishing tomorrow but …she just skeeted it out.

The FBI did not search the Ranch, I don't know why
but the State of New Mexico Has Opened an Investigation and will conduct a thorough Search for Evidence!

"Two-month-old baby ‘choking on his own vomit’ while detained in Dilley ‘His life is in danger,’ U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan Nicolás. The child fell ill after spending almost a month — or half his life — in a San Antonio-area family detention facility."

So many people make that mistake about Minnesotans. Because we're nice they also think that they can game or manipulate and/or gaslight us. They are always wrong. Minnesotans can detect bs from a mile away.

Rubio boosts Orbán's bid for another term during Budapest visit Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday enthusiastically endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's bid to serve a fifth straight term after upcoming elections in April.

I mixed up the links I wanted to share; sorry about that.

And here's some useful background: a Hugarian journalist, writing in Columbia Journalism School in November of 2025.

From the @status.news on Anderson Cooper's decision not to renew his contract at CBS.

"Weiss not only failed to persuade Cooper to grow his footprint at the network, but ultimately helped chase him away from it entirely."

Context Matters: Trump Administration Summons Secretaries of State And the context for this one isn't promising.

Maine Secy of State Shenna Bellows: “In the context of Trump’s assault on the rule of law & threats to elections, the odd invitation raises concerns.” Here’s what you need to know about the administration summoning state election officials to a meeting: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Impeccably stated.

Grateful for Judge Rufe, appointed by G. W. Bush. Grateful for all the lower &appeals courts that, for the most part, held the line. They've been pretty much alone (compared to execs,, law firms, media companies, billionaires...looking at you, Tim Cook). And brave given the SC looming over them.

When DOJ sent a list of over 300 names to Congress, stating that they had all "appeared" in the Epstein files, that was NOT an attempt at transparency. Instead, it was an exercise in obfuscation.

Listing Janice Joplin alongside Larry Nassar with no context is meant to confuse, not to shed light.

"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.”

U.S District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe delivered this President's Day smackdown to Trump's Minister of Censorship, Doug Burgum, ordering him to restore panels about the horrors of slavery to the President's House site in Philadelphia.

The truth survives for another day.

A two month old-detained in the ICE concentration camp at Dilley-was rushed to the hospital this weekend

The boy’s extreme youth made him particularly vulnerable in a prison setting

Worse, they knew he was sick-and couldn’t care for him-because the facility didn’t even have a doctor

ABOLISH

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

I was initially not the biggest fan of Spanberger but it turns out she has the heart of a world class hater and that is 100% the kind of energy we need right now

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.

even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

Welp

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Happy President's Day, President Obama

Obama wants to see all of us be our better selves.
