Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

I hate to ask this but i have to, are we now the bad guys? adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/are-we-now...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Every Republican in congress should have to go back and meet with their constituents TODAY to explain exactly what their stance is in regard to Ukraine.

“. . . But to refuse to obey, to openly violate the law and potentially not to comply with judicial orders, judicial rulings saying that you’re in violation of the law—that is outside competitive authoritarianism. That’s the realm of outright dictatorship.” newrepublic.com/article/1916...

Okay, now it’s officially insane. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

1. Meta removed a Facebook ads criticizing Elon Musk's efforts to seize Americans' private information through DOGE. A notice from Meta said the ads violated its rules on "Unacceptable Business Practices."

Remember George Washington warned us about factionalism: “cunning, ambitious & unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people & usurp for themselves the reins of govt, destroying…the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” www.americaamerica.news/p/pushing-ba...

"There was also no opposition." Holy shit, read a book.

Five short months ago www.nbcnews.com/now/video/ha...

You realize how effed-up this is, right?

“It was an appalling display of hostility, hypocrisy, arrogance and ignorance. It’s hard to overstate what a terrible precedent [Vance’s] speech sets for the role of America on the global stage and particularly among our traditional democratic allies.” www.americaamerica.news/p/do-real-am...

“. . . if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars off digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with.” Uhhhm, I’ll take 2016 for 1000, Alex.

When Trump (in term 1) changed a hurricane projection map with a sharpie, I argued that "Trump's silliest lies are the most important." What seems like lower stakes nonsense is actually the tip of the spear. You go along with it now, the baseline shifts, and you're more acculturated to acceptance.

Who told JD it was a good idea to demean and alienate our most powerful NATO allies? Oh, wait. Right. His boss.

The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

What the f&”k are “Truths”???

If Mitch McConnell had voted to convict Donald Trump, he would not have to vote against confirming RFK Jr.

A reminder from the archives: Ukrainians are not asking to hide behind the shield of NATO; they are asking for recognition from the alliance whose peace they have bled and died to protect. NATO and Ukraine need each other. @garrykasparov.bsky.social explains why:

Between the terrifying confirmation of Tulsi, U.S.’s tragic quitting of Ukraine designed to let Putin take whatever he wants, and the ridiculous installation of Trump as the new president of The Kennedy Center (oddly his most Hitleresque move yet), things are feeling a bit hopeless today. Ideas?

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

This was first reported by @capitol.press who has been attempting to figure out who was sent to Guantanamo. migrantinsider.com/p/ice-transf...

How many more times do we have to witness Musk using the adorable toddler as a prop? It can’t be long before the kid develops an actual sense of self, and Elon completely abandons & forgets about him along with the other 10 kids.

An Associated Press reporter was was blocked from an Oval Office event today because the publication "did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America."

Ideas from our friends up north.

The only person I feel bad for is Taylor Swift

The Chiefs can still win, if Mike Pence finds the courage.

So very sad apple.news/A5xP8mKUSRnC...

Peak insanity

Once again, this is because all of this is a job for Congress, under Article I of the Constitution. The Framers could not imagine legislators so cravenly lacking ambition & fealty to oaths that they would let the president run amok like Mad King George. Nor did they intend the courts to fix this.

Last night I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

They’re absolutely going for it. Doesn’t mean they’re going to be successful, and in fact I think it’s like shooting the moon, but everyone needs to understand what they are attempting.

Sunday 2/9/25 at 12pm protest at the Washington Monument in DC. Will begin marching at 1:30pm to Freedom Plaza and the White House. #3E #USProtests

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

@timjacobwise.bsky.social

Two things: 1) Why are Fox News and The Daily Mail the only sources reporting on this? 2) This despicable Mary Miller’s number is (202) 225-5271. You know what to do. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

And here I would have guessed at just a garden variety sociopath. apple.news/A1InsOdaIQqS...

Simply incredible. Will Trump’s government now fire people for identifying threats to government?

Yet another incident where Members of Congress have been barred from entering a federal agency.

Sources tell me there’s a frantic meeting happening at NCMEC right now to discuss the fact that this news was outed and how to move forward.
