Do i know for certain that Kristi Noem carries around a human skull she calls Paolo and constantly asks to tell her she's pretty? No. Do i know for certain that she doesn't? Also no.

I hope that the people who wrote the "this is Trump's chance to change directions!" pieces have also written their "look at the new tone he took!" followup for tonight and the inevitable "well, looks like I fell for it again" piece for tomorrow morning

I don't think it's a mystery why, either. By definition, most moneyed incumbents are conservative, ie, invested in protecting & preserving existing social & economic hierarchies -- & most media is owned & controlled by monied incumbents. There you go: mystery solved.

Why *wouldn’t* Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping remain unsolved given the country’s leading lawman doesn’t take the law seriously? He thinks the FBI gives him access to things other people can’t, as if law and order were an exclusive membership card to an elite club.

I don’t think anyone acquainted with the Epstein files can deny that the Republican Party is sincerely committed to putting children to work.

Florida AG James Uthmeier: "We need to focus on getting people into the workforce even earlier. We passed legislation last year to help high school students get their hands dirty and get on job sites more quickly."

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

I'm sorry but invading a foreign country for no reason and slaughtering thousands of people actually is "worse." Please do not give this war criminal a free pass on President's Day

While MLPS was a victory, moral and tangibly, for ICE resisters, don't call it 'a retreat.' The dystopia is just getting started Thousands of new agents. 150 new offices in every state. And the nationwide gulag archipelago. The fight has just begun My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.

And now Gail Slater, the chief antitrust enforcer at DOJ, has just resigned, a prelude to this settlement happening. Slater was cut out of the negotiations with MAGA lobbyists on the Live Nation case. DOJ is just a corrupt shell at this point.

Countless articles over the past year quoted hundreds of employers stating that Latino-American workers who are citizens are afraid to show up to job sites for fear of being profiled and detained. If they are afraid to go to work, they damn sure won’t go to vote with ICE there.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Let’s be clear: ICE leaving Minnesota is not justice. Justice is holding those responsible accountable for the lives lost and the devastation caused.
