Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby enters treatment for gambling addiction amid reported NCAA investigation

Be better!!

Yikes! Fox 5 caught on hot mic talking about the security at the Correspondents Dinner. "They have like two random chicks holding the front door open. Like guys, they're not even trying anymore...they're not even secret service people. It's like the girls who work here are holding the door."

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

“Trump does not respond to outrage. He responds to markets.” @profgalloway.com makes the case for a national economic strike.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

I respond to some so-called Second Amendment defenders who are justifying the shooting of Alex. The Second Amendment protects citizens from the state—it does not give the state a license to kill. (Link to full video) open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

I spent my morning putting this guide together from sources all over the place. Happy to hear from anyone with suggested inclusions, deletions, or edits. jdica@protonmail.com, or you can hit my DMs here. Please share!

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Trump: “Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off.” MORE OF THIS ENERGY

A new ethics report shared with Democracy Docket, revealed that Republicans spent $2.9 million to stymie Missourians’ signature-gathering effort aimed at blocking the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander. But most notably, virtually all of that money went to a political firm with Trump ties.

I recently heard historian Robert Kagan say: “What's at risk right now is literally our democracy in the sense that I don't think Trump is going to allow free and fair elections in 2026.” My job is to fight in court to prove him wrong even while I fear he may be right.

“Do I support mass deportations? Why would I do that? These people are contributing to 🇺🇸.” 🫡 @DemSocialists just reminded us about this old Nick Shirley clip where he stopped the wrong lady and got cooked

"WHERE IS MY MOMMY?" Imagine if this were your child. Imagine your child lost BOTH parents! This administration is destroying families. It's traumatizing millions! What kind of person is okay with that? Call your Senators & demand they redirect ICE funding. 202-224-3121! No caving tolerated!

The city, school district and philanthropic community are pooling their money to pay for private tutors who are based in public elementary school classrooms every day.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

“The 1967 (bombing) and dealing with the Klan, that was my generation’s and my parent’s generation’s dealing with bigotry and hatred. Unfortunately now it’s this generation’s time to have to deal with those very issues," said Beverly Geiger Bonnheim.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously. But none of them has the balls to do it.

True.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

"The European Union and the United States have agreed to a trade deal last July," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. "And in politics as in business – a deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something." https://to.pbs.org/4pOwcFt

They want lists of voters and their registered parties, and lists of Jews, and lists of immigrants, and lists of union members and … If you can’t see what’s happening, perhaps you skipped World History class one too many days.

That's a lot of words to obscure the facts: Dhillon and DOJ are 0-2. Elias Law Group is 2-0.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
