From @nytimes.com Book of Euphemisms and Sane-washing:
- "Trumpian spin" mean white supremacism and racism, where there are no Loyalists, no Indians, and enslaved African Americans were well-treated and invisible.

From @nytimes.com Book of Euphemisms and Sane-washing:
- "Leg up" means jaw-dropping corruption on a monumental scale.

From the @nytimes.com Book of Euphemisms and Sane-washing:
- "At odds with the Constitution" means blatantly unconstitutional and flagrantly illegal.
- "Raises alarms" means an Vesuvius-level catastrophic-impact bulletin.

Lip-synched

I could support naming portions of Penn Station after Trump. The restrooms come to mind.

Orban's Hungary: prolonged stagnation, high inflation, and rising fiscal stress, industrial output shrinking, growth has flatlined, borrowing costs have climbed, and pre‑election spending has widened deficits. (Sounds a lot like Putin's Russia.)

Darn

DHS runs out of money? Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Chaos in Minneapolis Exposes an Internet at War With Truth

Another item for the @nytimes.com both-sides file. The headline is a shoulder-shrug, "Who can you trust?" In the actual article, all the examples of AI fakery are from the right. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/t...

Melania, Friday night, 6 February, 8:15 PM, Times Square, New York City. Not a single seat sold. They couldn't pull off the fake attendance past the opening weekend.

Lemme guess: One billion dollars!

From the headline I would have expected more than just long, unchallenged quotations from Trump. Another classic in the annals of stenography.

The judges cites Blackstone on English Common Law, Jefferson in the Declaration, the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, and the Magna Carta.

More likely than suppressing turnout (your GOP has been doing that for decades): grabbing the ballots before they are counted, and then telling us who won.

And coal plants did indeed fail in this freeze spell

Odds the Dem leadership will walk into the trap: 💯

Buried in there is the fascists have a very loose and broad definition of “crime” that includes what the rest of us would consider paperwork errors and parking tickets.

Looking forward to his pivot on abortion and gay marriage.

Can we stop with the ”Russian army is unstoppable” nonsense?

I thought it was a comedy sketch

Headline: FBI Director supports repealing second amendment.

Any debate on the merits of multinational empires (Western Rome, Eastern Rome, Austro-Hungary, Britain, United States, etc.) ends with conclusion that the empires were better than the historical alternatives.

“Appear to” - So close, @nytimes.com, so close.

Are Republicans advocating for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment? Cool.

@nytimes.com cannot confirm the ICE lie, but we will keep trying until we can report that “some say accounts differ”.

Barron Trump Called U.K. Police After Witnessing Woman ‘Getting Beat Up’ on Video Call

Trump accused a Russian of violence? Wait till his presumed father hears of this. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/w...

Interesting there’s actually a memo somewhere that says, We don’t talk about abortion in even years.

Only the car-dependent suburbs are panicking. In the walkable city neighborhoods, we’re chill.

Why are local cops *still* cooperating with ICE?

"framework of a deal" 😂
