Ms. RG

I am once again telling Congress a new and unambiguous Constitutional obligation for them to impeach and convict has arrived, very publicly and with no lengthy investigation needed.

Tomorrows SOTU is gonna be absolutely unhinged and my interest is mainly in will news media describe Trump as the deteriorated, deeply unwell man that he is or are they gonna try and whitewash it for their special birthday boy

A former pro is helping figure skating look more authentic than ever Figure skating can be dull to watch on TV, so Jordan Cowan gets in the rink.

When I interviewed Jordan Cowan in 2021, he shared a dream of shooting the winter Olympics. If you've been watching figure skating coverage, those dramatic close-ups (including the viral Alysa Liu "that's what I'm fkn' talking about!" clip) - that's Jordan. He did it www.theverge.com/22303559/on-...

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Basically, we seem to be slow rolling into a full-on war with Iran. The Trump team seems not to understand that nuclear capacity is an existential issue for Iran, not merely a bargaining chip, and that any nuclear deal is dependent on granular details beyond the expertise of his real estate buddies.

"there's too few people on bluesky there's no point in hanging out here"

i used to spend all day posting on web forums with 500 active users. IRC chats with 25 people total. even on twitter i cared more about a handful of group DMs with like less than 200 total people in them than the public TL

Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:

This is a post made to me a few days ago on X. This isn’t personal, but it’s worse than personal: it expresses hatred of all women. This not an isolated one-off. Believe me. I’m posting this to let you know that men who hate women and want to control them are getting louder.

The Trump Administration Is Ending Aid That It Says Saves Lives The State Department will let lifesaving projects expire because “there is no strong nexus between the humanitarian response and U.S. national interests,” according to an internal email.

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved

Even pre-Elon, Twitter never drove all that much traffic to @techdirt.com, even if it was *my* preferred social media site. Nowadays Bluesky drives a ton of traffic to Techdirt, way more than even old Twitter did (X sends nothing). Only site that currently sends more than bsky is reddit.

This admin is filled with such shameless grifters.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Alex Thompson @AlexThomp . @hollyotterbein scoops: Top Dem officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza. https://www.axios.com/2026/02/22/dnc-2024-autopsy-harris-gaza

Incredible that the DNC won’t release this autopsy because apparently they don’t like the findings. They’d rather keep losing than admit their support for genocide cost them.

I called out a panelist on Sean Spicer’s show for claiming that Alex Pretti was interfering with law enforcement right before he was murdered. It’s a bullshit talking point, and I’m sick of hearing it used to justify ICE agents shooting him three times in the back.

from TMZ MAR-A-LAGO ARMED GUNMAN FIXATED ON EPSTEIN FILES WEEK BEFORE SHOOTING 02/22/2026 2:10 PM PST The armed man shot and killed by Secret Service agents outside President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property Sunday had grown increasingly obsessed with the Epstein files and was also a vocal supporter of Trump ... TMZ has learned.

quelle surprise www.tmz.com/2026/02/22/m...

I and my USG colleagues would go to external meetings where lunch would be served and to follow the rules we had to pay for our sandwiches.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

I regret to inform you that the post

“Dear straight people,

Stop cooking traditionally queer foods.
This shit has to stop ✋🏻

Sincerely,
Everyone else”

Went super viral on threads but the majority of the replies were going along with the bit. Bluesky could never smh

The frequent bipartisan agreement that the populations of governments our politicians don't like are inhuman nothings worthy of slaughter

"If you are being kidnapped off the streets by a masked secret police & whisked around to transit camps to avoid any legal attempt to help you, if you don't know when you're getting out, if you have a chance of being killed in the facility & no one will know where you are or what happened to you..."

Iran could direct proxies to attack US targets in Europe if Trump goes ahead with a strike, analysts tells the NYT.

While we’re debating whether or not Trump called into C-SPAN using a pseudonym to rant about the Supreme Court, let’s not lose sight of how we’re all in agreement this is something he would do and this is the person with the nuclear codes.

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

ICE agents grabbed a 16-year-old asylum seeker--which they aren't supposed to do

They kept him from his parents -which they aren't supposed to do

They shipped him out of state, to a Christian ministry, which they aren't supposed to do.

Then they *lost* him.

Stay safe, homies in Mexico.

Really unfortunate to see how quickly and the extent to which violence is breaking out across the country in response to the death of El Mencho.

I wish for safety and comfort for any of you affected and your families.

This is one of my favorite novels, one of my favorite movies, one of the great academia novels/movies, one of the great writer novel/movies, *and* one of the great novel-to-movie adaptations

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

A great way to get a glimpse of what Will is saying here is to watch @timmiller.bsky.social of @thebulwark.com interview him, from a couple of weeks ago. I think it gives a good picture of his true vibe and approach. (Tim is good at bringing that out.)
