Puck You: Women's Hockey Team Snubs Trump's Invitation After winning gold, the Women’s team didn’t feel the need to play along.

“By declining the State of the Union visit, the US Women’s Hockey Team’s polite 'no thanks' says more than any corporation, or tech billionaire, or media company is willing to say. Amid so much cowardice, it’s those who stood up who will be remembered…

ICE whistleblower comes forward to testify before Congress Ryan Schwank, a former ICE academy instructor, is expected to testify that ICE “is lying to Congress and the American people” about its training program.

Breaking MS NOW:

An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.

Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

it doesn't get enough attention that there is clearly something seriously wrong with the president's health and the White House is covering it up

Why can't someone, just for ONCE in this orange shit-gibbons life, impose some consequences? I am so sick of his lies, his theft, his stupidity, and his inhumanity. This is sickening.

What an absolute disgrace.

I completely agree.

Wow. I hope he is this personally miserable.

Sure paying taxes sucks, but at least we got to pay for another bucket list trip for Kash this week.

BREAKING:

The federal judges in the Eastern District of Virginia unanimously appointed longtime litigator James W. Hundley to serve as interim U.S. attorney on Friday — and the Trump Justice Department almost immediately fired him.

Brace yourselves: Trump says he just signed an order to impose a 10% global tariff on top of the levies already in place after the Supreme Court ruled his sweeping emergency tariffs were illegal.

I predict The State of the Union will sound like an angry drunk who just got dropped by their other half on Valentine's Day.

It's going to be epically bitter and messy.

Perfect photo!

Trump's Friday morning so far:

-- extremely disappointing 4th quarter GDP number
-- inflation report hotter than expected
-- Supreme Court strikes down tariffs

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

So the former President of South Korea has been sentenced to life in prison for insurrection, a former prince of England has been arrested for Epstein ties, but in the US Trump is freely blabbering and shitposting because he's protected by John Roberts and the Republican Party?

Like I’ve been saying :

He really wanted to strike in January.

But Bibi convinced him to go bigger.

And as others have pointed out, we simply didn’t have the logistics in theater for anything meaningful in January.

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

Holy shit.

A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

CBS obeys in advance And turns a Texas Democrat into a First Amendment martyr.

New in PN: CBS obeys in advance

"A routine TV hit which would have been quickly forgotten became a national story about government censorship and a Democratic candidate being silenced by Trump’s henchmen. In a tough primary, you couldn’t buy better exposure. Nice work, FCC Chair Brendan Carr."

“[James Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

We cannot let the Democrats get away with NO VOTER I.D. any longer. These are horrible, disingenuous CHEATERS. They have all sorts of reasons why it shouldn’t be passed, and then boldly laugh in the backrooms after their ridiculous presentations. If it weren’t such a serious matter, it would be considered a TOTAL JOKE! No Voter I.D. is even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports, Open Borders, or Transgender for Everyone. Republicans must put this at the top of every speech — It is a CAN’T MISS FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE MIDTERMS, AND BEYOND! Even Democrat Voters agree, 85%, that there should be Voter I.D. It’s only the Political “Leaders,” Crooked Losers like Schumer and Jeffries, that have no shame, and explain why it’s “racist,” and every other thing that they can think of. This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order. I hope the Supreme Court realizes, as they “painstakingly” review the very simple topic of Country Saving Tariffs (Those same Tariffs that have been used, by other Countries, against the U.S.A. to drain it of its Treasure and Security — for many years!), and all sorts of other things, that are making our Country Rich, Powerful, and Safe Again, that these Corrupt and Deranged Democrats, if they ever gain power, will not only be adding two States to our roster of 50, with all of the baggage thereto, but will also PACK THE COURT with a total of 21 Supreme Court Justices, THEIR DREAM, which they will submit easily and rapidly when they immediately move to terminate the Filibuster, probably in their first week, or sooner. Our Country will never be the same if they allow these demented and evil people to knowingly, and happily, destroy it. Thank you for your attention to this matter — SAVE AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

In latest batshit screed, Trump calls Democrats “demented and evil.” So much for toning down the rhetoric.
