The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass. As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

The police chief in a small Minnesota city intervened to prevent ICE agents from arresting a local woman who had been observing and recording them from her car, when they took her into custody.

It's believed to be the first time a local police department in Minnesota intervened in an ICE action.

32 Degree Heat long-sleeved tops and long underwear are worn all winter long in Michigan! I love that I can get them at Costco.

Happy (sleepy) Caturday from Nebula (left) and Gamora (right)!

For the record, I was very VERY quiet while sneaking over to Gamora, and she woke up anyway. She's the more skittish one.

Sometimes, we just need the catharsis of crying when we're sad. Watching sad movies or listening to sad movies gets us there.

Trump’s Republicans are doing everything they told us the Democrats would do.

Every accusation is a confession.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

This one hit me really hard. She was incredible in everything she did! I sense a Schitt's Creek rewatch coming soon.

At every single stage of my life there has been a movie or show suited for my age group in which Catherine O’Hara was a standout player. This just sucks, man.

Hanover County supervisors oppose proposed ICE facility The locality’s ability to deter the purchase is extremely limited, though.

Ashland, Virginia:

"Despite widespread hazardous road conditions and icy weather from the recent winter storm, more than a thousand residents from across Greater Richmond made their opposition clear..."

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

DHS ICE memo 1-21-26

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

“Do I support mass deportations? Why would I do that? These people are contributing to 🇺🇸.”

🫡 @DemSocialists just reminded us about this old Nick Shirley clip where he stopped the wrong lady and got cooked

None of the DoJ people who have been resigning over the last year are squishy liberals. Many likely would have served willingly in a DoJ run by legitimate, lawful conservatives. But this is an unhinged regime of crooks, sycophants, and morons.

"WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS!"

MASSIVE protests continue to grow in Minneapolis.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

Holy. Shit.

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner.
They like to cloak themselves in religion…
Then read it to them.
Don’t let them say they “didn’t see it.”

Let them “defend” it.

This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

Jared Kushner is backing a 'hostile takeover' of US infrastructure: analysis Salon reporter Sophia Tesfaye says “the speed and scale of Jared Kushner’s re-emergence can’t be overstated,” and neither can his corruption.“In the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency, hi...

Republicans spent years attacking Hunter Biden’s foreign ties. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner raised billions from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. And now he sits at the center of U.S. media consolidation and back-channel diplomacy. The double standard is glaring.

Measles didn’t make a comeback on its own.

This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax movement and his disinformation campaign. And equally as disturbing, some people are perfectly fine with this outcome.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.
