Ilhan Omar is a shoe in for next year's Nobel Peace Prize if he keeps this up. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Honestly after being on this website for some time now it is clear to me why American "leftists" are the losingest political force in our country's history. They are just fundamentally unlikeable, unserious people. As a progressive it is incredibly bleak and depressing.

So there's definitely a rape accusation coming for Platner, right?

The obvious answer to "when was the best year" is whatever year you got your driver's license.

So I guess Maine is doing a Pennsylvania? I'm sure it will work this time...

Jesus Christ, Democrats can't even conceive of a future where they don't provide tax support to at least *some* data center developers.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Lethal injection sounds to people like its a medical process designed to spare the executed person from pain when its really a pseudo-medical sham designed to spare observers and onlookers from the reality of the violence they're committing.

Wow.

i have really come to the view that partisanship is to be embraced wholesale. partisanship and principle but not purity.

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

Oh. Stage an assassination attempt, you say? Interesting.

If there is a hell, Paul Ehrlich is in it.

We can’t do gender studies, but let’s watch government-produced videos splicing war footage with video games, football highlights, and action movies scenes

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Kolanovic.

I would trade ten years of my life for a competent Democratic party. Who convinced Booker this was a good idea?

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Apparently the White House is shooting for just below zero hiring

Oops. I guess Speaker Mike Johnson's reassurance yesterday that it's not a war, only a "limited operation," is no longer operative.

Never beating the allegations

I see we're still doing "coprolalia is fake" discourse.

Trump is demanding Netflix remove former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice from its board for saying "it's not going to end well" for corporations that bend the knee to the administration. But Rice was right — and Netflix must stand behind her. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

Please do not let Gaby's tantrum over getting the attention she wanted distract you from the amazing Minneapolis legal observers, protestors, organizers, and aid givers (all while also under federal occupation because they're just that good)

From Elie Honig at Stay Tuned with Preet. Here is the kind of material that is still being withheld from the Epstein files, in violation of the federal statute:

After spending more time here I am realizing that when people say "Stancil digs his heels in and argues over small issues" they really mean "Stancil refuses to agree with me when we argue, even though it makes me really upset."

Tara Palmieri: Is somebody paying you?Michael Tracey: I can’t hear her Piers Morgan: What an astonishing coincidence Michael Tracey: I swear to god Audio problem solved, apparently 🤡

Michael Tracey has been publicly smearing and attacking Epstein victims Tara Palmeri asks him: “Are you being paid by someone powerful to attack sex-crime victims?” He then fakes audio issues and claims he can’t hear her question

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it. Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie. We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about. He's pathetic.

Special for my friends in the media! Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit. Helpful explanation here: projectsaltbox.substack.com/p/federal-ec...

We can now count on the NYT to print every Trump quote verbatim, right? Especially ones where he "struggled at times to formulate succinct answers"? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

This is funny because it perfectly mistakes which side of the argument aligns with the WSJ graphic.

I think what’s funny to me here is that people make up really specific-sounding shit (“I eat one egg a day and would notice if it went up by 2%”) and then call Stancil pedantic when he does the math problem *they literally created to sound rigorous.*

But we didn't have economic stagnation for the working class. We had a period of unusually *high* wage growth for low income workers.

Let's fucking go!

An essential part of the term “blood libel” is that it was an accusation made against Jews with no proof or evidence. Those accusing the state of Israel of committing genocide have marshaled extensive evidence. It demeans the term “blood libel” to compare them.
