HER: I just read an article that says narcissists are more likely to feel excluded ME: why don’t you ever read articles about me?

Dead last in the whole damn world.

This is unheard of in American history. Absolutely insane in peace time.

One of the best lawyers I ever knew, not even liberal, from a dusty Deep South town, told me this - “the people of the South (more specifically evangelicals) will always vote to keep themselves ignorant.”

Things are not developing as I would wish. www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

You can hear these pictures

Trump on China: “I don’t even know that they’re a member of BRICS.” (China has been a BRICS member since its founding in 2006—the “C” in BRICS literally stands for China.)

Trump's firing of Hampton Dellinger from the helm of the Office of Special Counsel was designed to make SCOTUS renege on its own words from just a few years ago, and Dellinger's complaint show's he'll be all too happy to put the justices on the spot storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hampton Dellinger is a true blue hero as is Ellen Weintraub. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Another effort by President Trump to purge the government of watchdogs has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge who issued a brief stay order reinstating Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel — a government watchdog agency.

🚨NEW: Special Counsel of the United States Hampton Dellinger who was fired by Donald Trump late last week is suing the Trump Administration for wrongful termination. REPOST if you stand with Dellinger against Trump!

My law school roommate! Great guy great lawyer.

Trump is gutting the FBI, CIA and NSA. He is intentionally making our nation less safe from terrorism--yet corporate media is barley covering this. And if we have an attack, Trump will use it to grab more power and suspend civil liberties. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-m...

Drake and Mahomes gonna have a lot to talk about tomorrow

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hawks completely tearing it down but still keeping the only player with trade value is peak Atlanta sports

FROM SHAMS: The Atlanta Hawks are trading forward De'Andre Hunter to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, three second-round picks and two swaps, sources tell ESPN.

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Kruschev called game.

Ever think about how most all the big political actors and dictators of the 20th century personally experienced the horrors of war and bloodshed? Meanwhile, we’re watching a U.S. coup carried out by men who have lived lives softer than that of your average inbred French Bulldog in a sweater.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

🚨BREAKING: The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the Maryland State Board of Elections’ (MDSBE) administration of voter rolls and voting machines. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In less than three years, the Mavs turned Luka Doncic, Jalen Brunson and Kristaps Porzingis Into Spencer Dinwiddie, Davis Bertans, Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick. Yikes.

The biggest lesson the US is going to have to learn is that nobody is coming to help, this is a lesson every country in the world has learned. This is your fight. Every country you know will continue to make deals with Trump, unless you put up mass resistance and show the world you do not consent.

Chris Murphy: "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America."

JUST IN: The FBI Agents Association, repped by @markzaidesq.bsky.social, has filed a second lawsuit on behalf of agents who sayd their inforation may be publicly disseminated and used as part of a purge. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every single one of them deserves PRISON.

It’s just remarkable how Trump wants all these Arab Countries to take in Palestinian refugees while he throws all of our refugees away because of the supposed dangers they impose on America.
