Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

The whole interview is worth it

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Minnesota, I love us.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

A statement from New American Pathways on the treatment of refugees in Minnesota

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Anyway, block, ignore, talk football.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

@colbertlateshow.bsky.social moves to PBS when

Colbert & Kimmel should do their shows on PBS. They could shore up funding & support for Public Broadcasting in one fell swoop.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social watching you now. Kimmel didn't say the shooter was MAGA, important distinction: “The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it"

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I think I miss when antitrust review was used to prevent corporate consolidation instead of herding companies into forming a homogenous reactionary content blob.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.

Once again faced with the classic ethical thought experiment: If you could go back and kill MechaHitler as a baby chatbot, would you do it?

SCHRIER: Have you ever treated measles? RFK JR: No SCHRIER: Well I have. Let me tell you how miserable these kids is. The great thing is there's a vaccine to prevent it ... they only work if you actually give them

@smith.senate.gov thank you for pushing back against Sen Mike Lee’s ghoulish posts about the assassination of a MN Representative and her husband.

The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”

BREAKING: Vatican announces sweeping new tariffs on US goods to offset massive American Pope trade deficit

Hassett / Bessent / Lutnick: Feigning competence and gaslighting with a smile

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

everybody's skeeting about futures on a sunday night. hopefully all the negative red numbers mean america is wealthy again

guess where they got their weird trade deficit math from? i went to the pit for y'all and brought back the screenshots with alt text

i believe in the indominable American spirit to hate one specific really annoying guy

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.
