Wow, this is just comical. Reporter asks a question. Press secretary: - Goes on offensive. ("Hostile and political"!) - Blames Biden (always Blame Biden!) - Asks why Amazon didn't do this for inflation? Like...what? www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/0...

Covered a TON of ground with @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social today, including his take on Abrego Garcia deportation case (hint: it doesn't matter whether he's a good dude) 👇 www.youtube.com/shorts/Bk6pS...

AFAIK, he is still not charged with anything criminal. It just feels like cruelty and power play at this point.

New, from me: The Trump administration is killing Direct File, the free IRS e-filing tool. Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public. It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

"So when some kid kicks the pew I’m sitting in, I think, Dude, I get where you’re coming from. Game recognizes game."

I don't think people who DO have a criminal record should be disappeared to a Salvadoran prison either

There are things that you do not "float" as the President of the United State of America. youtu.be/Cs32oUJPXWU

Enough crying about your precious “coffee” and “tea” being unaffordable due to tariffs! I’ll teach you to make coffee from chicory root, grown here in America! “Does it taste as good?” you ask? Well, actually, HELL NO! IT TASTES LIKE BURNT SADNESS! WHY DO YOU THINK WE TRADED FOR COFFEE AND TEA 😭

Gold.

Give this photo a Pulitzer

Today's Republicans are not the same.

I normally find these Downfall riffs a little tired, but this one is fantastic.

On X, VP Vance falsely claims that Mr. Abrego was a "convicted MS-13 gang member." In fact, Mr. Abrego has no criminal record at all. He was arrested (but not charged) while looking for day labor outside a Home Depot in 2019. Local cops then said a "confidential informant" said he was in MS-13.

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute. Spread it far and wide.

Agreed.

You will never prove how much you love Jesus by demonstrating how much you hate

Doc S did more than teach kids to read...

One of the really special things about Sesame Street was always these little art films that were less about teaching a specific thing than they were about instilling a sort of meditative sense of wonder at how the world works.

I just can't even with Musk.

In this perplexing time, a reminder of how an earlier generation of Christians dealt with systemic injustice. Ten rules: 1. Meditate daily on the teachings and life of Jesus. 2. Remember always that the non-violent movement in Birmingham seeks justice and reconciliation - not victory. 1/3

Glad the National Association of Evangelicals is posting prayer points for Ukraine that go against Trump's pro-Putin message. They call it a Russian invation, mention Russians imprisoning pastors & abducting kids. Not a call for action, but a break with MAGA evangelicals. www.nae.org/still-prayin...

Flow was made in Blender and cost only $3.7 million -- but it defeated Hollywood at the Oscars. This is a huge moment for its team. It's just as huge for European animation, and the ecosystem that nurtured Flow, Robot Dreams and so many other films: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/flow-takes...

Two children in adult bodies trying to gaslight an adult man fighting for the survival of his country in the oval office today. Sickening.

(RNS) — Childlike behavior among adults, especially those in positions of authority and power, is off the charts right now. But if we live in a culture that doesn’t demand maturity of us or even teach us how to attain it, then how do we go about it? religionnews.com/2025/02/26/w...

Imagine even having to say this. This is like "don't eat rocks."

There is literally nothing controversial about these statements in the slightest.

Wow, when you get called out by the New York Post of all places...

Why is it acceptable to have a man who acts like this in the service of our government? Well, okay, I know why, but...it SHOULDN'T be. I used to admire Elon until I saw his interaction with the divers over those boys trapped in the cave. The man is a child and a bully.
