this is another example of what they all learned from the kavanaugh hearings.
when you’re losing, when you’re worried he’s going to throw you under the bus, you have to go totally feral.
you have to embarrass yourself by trying to brute-force a narrative shift from being on defense to on offense.
Too much to keep track of, but don't sleep on AG Bondi's new proposed rule that would let DOJ lawyers avoid key ethics checks that prohibit lying to court. Ratcheting up the assault on courts & the reality-based world at the same time. Mine in today's NYT. (Gift Link)
Again, he doesn’t follow laws or court orders, & so the solution cannot be more laws & more court orders that he will also simply not follow. Everyone is kidding themselves that there is another option aside from immediate impeachment & removal.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.
“One parent told us that their 5-year-old asked, ‘Are we bad people? Are they going to kill us here? That’s what these children are feeling as time goes on.”

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...
This is astounding and so completely expected. Incompetence is leading this administration in every facet.
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
Same. I haven’t stepped foot in one for months.
Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.
Some have even called it blasphemy.
But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

On This Day in History: March 12, 1837
Robert Southey told 20-year-old Charlotte Brontë that literature shouldn’t be a woman’s life’s work. In 1847, Brontë replied by publishing Jane Eyre. History is full of men projecting their own limits on women.
Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
"We had a bunch of people who bought into this bullshit line that Donald Trump would be an antiwar candidate, Donald the Dove, it was bullshit, the people who fell for it should apologize today or hang their heads in shame." - me.
Our full discussion today: zeteo.com/p/iran-epste...
"Trump doesn’t care about election interference. So why would he invoke Iran meddling in our election as he bombs the country? Put simply, he is trying to validate the claim that our elections are not secure as a pretext to usurp control of our elections in the name of national security.”
"[The Republican Party] finally got their man to help them do [a regime change war in Iran]. A mentally desiccated, elderly racist game show host."
I’m starting to think that maybe TRUMP is in the Epstein Files.
Lawrence Jones said that six presidents had tried and failed to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. I've included a reminder about international agreement (JCPOA) Obama brokered to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon in 2015.
I truly hope that House Republican leadership protecting a sexual predator like Rep. Tony Gonzales for the rest of the year ends up costing them 5 more seats in Nov. They should be asked about this relentlessly every single day until he’s gone.
📌I guess it wasn't enough for the Trump regime to murder innocent Minnesota people in cold blood in their streets.
Now they want to strip their Medicaid funding so thousands can die slowly.
These Republicans are absolutely soulless and grotesque.
And pro-life, my ass.
Judge blasts ICE ‘sloppiness’ for claiming 4-year-old kid had a marijuana conviction
Beautiful work.
It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for 'misconduct in public office,' which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

MATCH DAY! Who’s excited? Who’s nervous? Who’s ready to make some noise?!? #RCTID #openingday
The Hollywood giant was known for playing rugged characters over the last six decades.
BREAKING: federal judge orders the Trump admin to restore slavery exhibits to the President’s House.
The opinion opens with “As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984 now existed…”

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?
You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.
So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.
White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @camcgrady.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...
