Javier, our CEO, wanted to check in with everybody. He hopes you're doing alright. If not, you're welcome to take a few deep breaths with him and think of something you're looking forward to. Javi is looking forward to the Bad Bunny halftime show โค๏ธ

My wonderful housekeeper, who doesn't watch sports or care anything about the Super Bowl, just told me is will be watching the Bad Bunny halftime show. So nice of MAGA to amplify this moment of cultural significance.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isnโ€™t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Remember the months (years) long outrage of Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters a basket of deplorables? This won't receive 0.0001% of that coverage our backlash.

There is no bottom, no final straw, no red line for Republicans. Their dear leader can do and say whatever he wants.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US โ€” and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

When all of this is written in the history books, the failure of the media to defend the fourth estate should be one of the most shameful narratives.

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldnโ€™t tolerate this.

Months of โ€œJoe Biden wonโ€™t do a press conference.โ€ A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. Itโ€™s appalling.

The Government Published Dozens of Nude Photos in the Epstein Files

The current Department of Justice is terrible at doing Department of Justice things.

"The photos, which showed young women or possibly teenagers with their faces visible, were largely removed after The New York Times began notifying the Justice Department."

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization.
