Trump’s chaos is undeniable, but let’s not forget the ones who sold him to the public, the enablers, the amplifiers, the cheerleaders. They peddled the illusion, knowing full well the cost. When the fallout lands, don’t just hold Trump accountable, remember the salesmen who made it possible.

Oh you are worried about groceries doubling? The Dow is over 50,000. Foreign policy in shambles? The Dow is over 50,000. Your mortgage just reset? The Dow is over 50,000. It is like the new duct tape for reality. If you say it loud enough, apparently everything is fine.

There are no words that fit a loss like this. A small town like Tumbler Ridge feels grief collectively, house by house, family by family. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and a community now carrying an unimaginable weight. ❤️

Happy Tuesday morning. Coffee is doing most of the thinking, my body is negotiating terms, and optimism has entered the room cautiously. Either way, we are up, we are moving, and we are pretending this was the plan all along.

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA: “Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH” Please share everywhere!

Some years back Canada and the US fought over Super Bowl ads and we lost them. Now we miss the best commercials. Question. Can we dust off that same tech mute the Trump ICE and Fannie Mae ads and negotiate our Super Bowl commercials back. Asking for a country.

Intercepted foreign intel tied to Trump gets buried, rerouted, and sat on for months. Normal channels bypassed. Oversight delayed. Then we are told this is fine. If this were anyone else it would be a five alarm scandal. THIS IS CRAZY!

Note: Over on Xitter Laura Rozen wonders if the person is Ric Grenell, which would like up with a bunch of things (including current urgency).

So let me get this straight. Bidens autopen was treated like a constitutional crisis. But Trumps social media is apparently run by an unnamed staffer with full access to post anything at any time. Totally fine. Nothing to see here.

I wrote “How Not To Widow” because I am one, and Erika Kirk’s staged grief never sat right with me. It felt grifty from the start. Now, hearing her laugh about merch sales and events eleven days after her husband was assassinated only confirms what many people felt but hesitated to say out loud. /1

Billions funneled. Conflicts ignored. Courts attacked. Allies burned. Authoritarians praised. Norms trashed. Corruption waved through as noise. Silence where oversight should be loud. Democracy treated like an inconvenience… but Obama wore a tan suit.

Classic move. When the question hits too close, he goes personal. Attack the reporter, demean a woman, ignore the survivors. That is deflection when someone is cornered and has no real answer.

Republican party leader displays his usual misogyny, insulting the Epstein survivors and a female report all at once.

MeidasTouch sent a reporter to look for waste, fraud, and abuse behind the Melania movie. Here’s what we found.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This is Trumps cabinet. They invited this in. When you lower the bar on ethics and accountability, you open the door to corruption, foreign influence, bots, and nonstop propaganda. This is not a surprise. It is the result.

An explosive complaint filed by a whistleblower against Tulsi Gabbard and another unnamed govt office in May is being stonewalled and still has not been shared with Congress as required despite efforts by the whistleblower’s attorney. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

BREAKING: A U.S. official has filed a bombshell complaint accusing Tulsi Gabbard of serious wrongdoing, so explosive and deeply classified they’ve triggered months of behind-the-scenes chaos over how (or whether) Congress should even be allowed to see them, according to the WSJ.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Petty vandalism. You do not punish culture to make a point. This is small, reckless, and embarrassingly stupid.

Just watched The Last Republican and I keep asking how. Jan 6 was a warning, not an outlier. People spelled this out and here we are anyway. Was the spin that effective, the memory that short, or the denial that deep? What needs to change? How bad does it have to get?

I love the way Todd Blanche describes the Epstein paperwork as the equivalent of two Eiffel Towers stacked on top of each other. So if Pam Bondi supposedly had the files sitting on her desk, I am genuinely curious how that math works. Because those two statements do not coexist in reality.

So let me get this straight. We can rush billions in weapons to Israel, but suddenly discover limits, delays, and handwringing when it comes to Ukraine.
