Also means more cases that they’re running out of lawyers have to try to argue in front of an increasingly hostile entire profession of federal judges

"Oh abloobloo they just won't follow it"

Yes correct now we have them on a black and white not at all arguable violation of federal law, tell them to preserve their records

like this is not a "negotiation" for someone to agree to some thing at some hypothetical point in the future in exchange for action on a bill now (looking at you Anna Paulina), it is a negotiation about what goes into the bill that will be signed into law

...........do people not understand that language in appropriations bills is literal federal law

NASA’s next space suit for Artemis has out-of-this-world mobility Astronauts are flying to the moon for the first time since 1972, and scientists are preparing specialized space suits for the next milestone—landing there

The G.O.P. Senator Who Can’t Stop Thinking About the Boy ICE Detained Katie Britt is uniquely positioned to reason with the Trump administration — when she chooses to speak up.

over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

The tl;dr, go listen to Julie Brown, whose been covering this for a lot longer than 5 seconds.

I bring you this from the pen of Dylan Byers at @puck.news so you can see how adult-in-the-room punditry works.

When at the last minute Bezos shocked everyone by killing the Post's endorsement of Kamala Harris, signaling a new openness to Trump, and enraging core audiences...that's now a "squable."

History will remember Will Stancil as a giant who recognised the moment America was living through, and rose up to challenge it, and history will not remember a single LARPing American Communist at all. They won't even be a footnote in the story.

Jeremy Corbyn’s “Peace and Justice Project” have just memoryholed Noam Chomsky out of existence and purged mentions of him from their website.

Will Stancil is putting his safety on the line confronting ICE while Putin bootlicker Ryan Grim pals around with Steve Bannon on his podcast.

You aren’t fit to lace Stancil’s boots Grim.

I am pretty certain Trump's approval would go into freefall if this ends up happening. It's going to be very hard to manufacture consent for this.

reviewing instagram reels on my lunch break and I think we need to issue an addendum to "everyone is 12" theory - everyone is 12 and some are in active clinical psychosis

Host: Fears of a new nuclear arms race now that the last nuclear treaty between the United States and Russia has expired. Trump does not seem concerned.

What an ugly ad from the Lone Star Rising PAC in support of the pious “I won’t go negative” guy they work for who cried about the possibility of negative ads that still haven’t happened. Did they think they were cute & clever with that dark color grading too?

Japan cherry blossom festival cancelled over badly behaved tourists "Overtourism" during Japan's iconic blossom season makes life for locals in Fujiyoshida town unmanageable, authorities say.

Oh no. Come on people, behave yourselves.

Lāna’i is his private home now, Ellison moved to Lāna’i full-time during the 2020 and has lived there since then.

Canada’s auto industry is facing huge pressures, leaving workers and businesses in a state of uncertainty. So we’re taking control — and launching a new strategy that will transform the industry to be a global leader in electric vehicles.

Imagine having enough money to run whatever total war game at high resolution, or commission the greatest gaming table ever created for a warhammer game, and still being unhappy? Skill issue

I really see a greater need for more people to mirror information data published because its clear that a regime change is hellbent of destroying it the second they get the ability to do so is the rule now.

Sen. Van Hollen: You suggested that Alex Pretti was culpable in his own killing. Would you like to retract that statement?

Bessent: I would not.

Job losses on par with the Great Recession. National debt is ballooning because of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. More money going to billionaires’ pockets, less to yours.

This is Trump’s economy.

What is even crazier is TIL you can buy this cutout at Walmart and I have so many questions about why this could possibly be a thing that one could buy.

You can see President Biden and Democratic control of Congresses impact in this graph and then the impact of the legislative body flipping to Republicans.

This graph must piss them off so much.

The Simpsons character Hank Scorpio.

Larry Ellison, standing in grey suit. Which you can apparently buy from walmart as a lifesize cutout. 🤷‍♂️

It’s the same picture.

The deterrent isn’t “we can win.” It’s “this will cost you dearly; more than it’s worth.”

That logic kept Sweden sovereign for 80 years. Canada should take note of that.

Sweden designed the Gripen to survive a Soviet first strike, disperse to highways, swap engines in an hour, fight from the forests.

Canada has more strategic depth than any Nordic country and a road network across terrain that’s a nightmare to operate in offensively.
