Oz prevents RFK JR from walking back to his spot

"doesn't understand the appeal of patina" feels like neat summation of American aesthetics

Maybe we could take a break from ALWAYS finding a way to criticize Democrats for Republican malfeasance. There is virtually nothing Beshear can do to change this situation. Place the blame where it belongs.

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

2026-2028 needs to be about the entire Democratic Party setting the table for this. 2028-2032 needs to be about using all of the magical new powers of the presidency to do it. When the GOP screams that it's unprecedented, remind them of this court's utter contempt for precedence.

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.

I don't see anything. What do you see?

Surprised JD Vance wasn't able to close a deal with the Iranians. His only skill is saying whatever people want to hear.

Don’t let this go by unnoticed

This is an ICE agent at TSA. Post their unmasked faces everywhere.

Your reminder to be sure to download and print out the Mueller Report (I did years ago). We should expect that there will come a time when it can no longer be found online.

It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.

Seems about time to re-up this...

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

A 21-year-old Moroccan woman was beaten by her family when they found out she was a lesbian. She sought asylum in the US & Trump tried to deport her to Cameroon, where homosexuality is illegal. Sometimes we get distracted by how incompetent our country has gotten, we forget how evil it has gotten.

CBS can try to obey in advance by pressuring Stephen Colbert to silence his interview with James Talarico, the gifted communicate running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, but people can see what’s happening—& can listen to the convo on YouTube. Brendan Carr & the FCC’s free speech attack will backfire.

Fucking love this guy.

Here's a story about all the kidnapped children we are holding in torture prisons.

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

She spent the whole morning performatively screaming at Congressmen, but this image of Bondi saying nothing and refusing to turn around will be the only real takeaway from her testimony today.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham

This is the Trump administration trying to cover up Renee Good’s murder. No more funding for ICE. And no more funding for this lawless, lying administration.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I am tired of writing posts that essentially serve as obituaries for decency, quality, and merit. I hope we all survive long enough to write obituaries for the other stuff.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The Pattison sale to ICE isn't a done deal yet. Keep up the pressure. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #fuckice vancouversun.com/news/jim-pat...

A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying. With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an

As if this tough guy doesn't get winded tying his own shoes

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Here’s TMZ with a headline every outlet that cares about the truth should have. www.tmz.com/2026/01/24/n...

Authoritarianism prevails not because people stop believing the truth, but because they stop saying it aloud. If we wish to remain free, we must refuse that silence. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...

NEVER FORGET THIS PHOTO. THIS MAN WAS MURDERED BY A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE CURRENTLY OPERATING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
