According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

NEW đź‘€: As predicted, Judge Ho has ordered a hearing for 2 p.m. this Wednesday to explore why the DOJ has moved to dismiss the charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Math is hard

Hochul said she will hold a meeting in Manhattan on Tuesday to discuss the next steps for the governing of the city www.nbcnewyork.com/new-york-cit...

🚨 JUST wrapped an urgent press conference on Trump & Musk’s plan to gut the Department of Education. Fewer teachers. Bigger classes. Less funding for RI schools. Unacceptable. The richest people in the world cannot be allowed to cut education to pay for their tax cuts.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Of course they were

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Democracy died in the light.

Trump is going to lose in New York. He's going to lose the Adams saga. He's not going to be beat Hochul. He's going to lose NY GOP seats in the House. This whole thing is ugly as hell right now, but it's a good showdown to have. New York will win. Best to fight!

I find the doomers in my replies yelling “there won’t be future elections!!” exhausting - (1) don’t give them credit for something they haven’t done & (2) there is no mechanism for cancelling elections! Our elections aren’t run by the fed govt; they’re run by states, counties & municipalities.

This is a raid.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

I didn't watch but it is my understanding that Drake lost the Super Bowl

BREAKING: One casualty and 4 others injured in private jet collision at Scottsdale Airport, Arizona.

President Trump became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl last night, and fans had mixed reactions. Plus, highlights from the big game and the best (and worst) Super Bowl commercials.
