42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.

Was not expecting this. Gonzales will also resign from Congress.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Why is Spotify having ads on paid tiers??? What the heck is going on?

Truly a perfect news alert

Amen!🙌

Outlander season 8, Ep 1. Y'all had me crying 2 minutes in 😭

How Netanyahu allegedly dogwalked Trump into war. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

A 7th American has been killed in Trump’s war of choice on Iran

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

🤣🤣🤣

She's right, you know.

Here are the "centrist" Democrats who voted with Republicans to not restrict Trump’s wargasm. Vote blue no matter who!!! Never criticize the Dem establishment! Henry Cuellar (TX) Jared Golden (ME) Greg Landsman (OH) Juan Vargas (CA)

Moral of the story? Congressional oversight matters. Congress should do it more.

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

The SecDef basically confessing to war crimes is an interesting choice.

Killing schoolgirls in Operation Le Epic Bacon so people forget about the dead economy and the president's pedophile best friend for ten minutes.

BREAKING: ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico attorney general reopens investigation into allegations of illegal activity at Epstein's former Zorro Ranch.

Whoa! Didn’t expect to wake up to this news. “A year into Trump’s term, voters say Biden was better.” Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents. 1/2

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG: “I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.” The ad aged. The internet remembers.

That entire Halftime special was a celebration of community, love, music, diversity and Puerto Rico and very deliberate middle finger to colonization and white supremacy.

Is he taking the fall for the Obama tweet?

Hours after posting a video depicting the Obamas as apes:

Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country. There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.

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...

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

Despite the Trump administration's gaslighting, only 22% of voters think the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti was justified — including only 16% of Independents — according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

This is just awful news. Patrick is one of the best reporters out there, and we relied on his work constantly, including his reporting for the Texas Tribune before he went to WaPo. We would hire him if only we could. x.com/PatrickSvite...

Dems win special election for mayor ("first selectperson") in Fairfield, CT. Christine Vitale, the acting mayor, defeated Republican state Sen. Tony Hwang 56-44. This means there will *not* be a special for Hwang's Senate seat, which is around D+20. fairfieldvotes.org

West Texas is worth fighting for!!! Thanks @lonestarleft.com

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. ordered tuberculosis cases to be hidden after more than 60 people tested positive at a San Francisco high school. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses. They start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

Incredible contrast between this and Keir Starmer running a delivery driver over
