I’m sorry but I don’t think Presidents should be able to sue the federal government.

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

February is a time to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought, and continue to fight, against injustice to achieve equal rights. May we reflect on our nation’s past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

Thank you, Mr. President.

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

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

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

My law firm is representing clients intervening to fight all 22 of DOJ's lawsuits seeking sensitive voter data. So far we've been granted intervention in nine of them: California Hawaii Maine Massachusetts Michigan New Mexico New Hampshire Oregon Rhode Island

Noticing that CNN is calling Jan. 6 a “riot,” not an “insurrection.” PSA: It was an insurrection.

It's been announced that Let's Play Anime is getting an English Dub! \o/ www.crunchyroll.com/news/announc...

I got my copy of Alchemised in the mail today by @senlinyu.bsky.social I’m so excited!!! I’ve never been apart of a book club before and feel like now would be such a great time!!

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 received the first two scripts for the anime! LOOK AT BOWSER! LOOK AT MY BOY! HE'S SO CUTE!! SO CHONKY! MY ROLY-POLY! 🥹 And look at Marshall's cheeky wink! 😘

The theme song artist for Let's Play anime, Toshinobu Kubota, has shared a new YouTube video tying his hit song 「LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG」to the Let's Play anime!

Remember that: Charlie Kirk advocated for kids to watch public executions. Charlie Kirk said gun deaths are a commiserate price to pay to maintain the 2nd amendment. Charlie Kirk said empathy was a made up, new age terminology. Charlie Kirk said civils rights require a "fundamental relook".

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

George Takei has a very personal view about current US immigration enforcement efforts.

I wonder why we aren’t seeing this?

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I'm soaking it all up. All the celebrating. The victory lapping. The high-fiving. The dancing. All the Republicans crowing that they "won," when all they did was give billionaires a tax break at the expense of poor people's Medicaid and food assistance. They are applauding pain. REMEMBER THIS.

BREAKING: Senator Warnock calls Big Beautiful Bill “Socialism for the Rich”. 100% true!

Senate floor update: at 1:08 a.m., after 2 hours of reading, we are on page 81 of the 940 page bill.

Notice how federal judges only get restrained when Trump’s president?

👓: Just don't do that shit where you play the tough guy now, and then when it's time to vote for it, you support it. Because you do that. Every. Goddamn. Time. Grow some balls, senator.
