Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

We told you. *deep breath* WE TOLD YOU.

The U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team won gold — and then lost the room (Gift Article) The widespread celebration is over now. And some of the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team's goodwill has diminished.

"Trump, perhaps more than most modern presidents, understands the optics of standing next to winners. It normalizes him. It softens his cruel instincts and crude jokes, recasting them as locker-room banter."

FFS.

Take my money.

I don't care if elected officials are at the Olympics. But I do care if they are in the winning team's locker room pouring beer on player's heads and wearing gold medals they didn't earn.

I think a hoodie would be appropriate.

Eh, I would argue they've probably promoted the SOTU in the past, no matter who the president is.

Weird seeing the NHL's Instagram account feature players and their daughters. Almost like there is a coordinated effort to get us to forget about the U.S. men's team's misogyny. #hockey

This bums me out. Not surprised the Tkachuck brothers are in the pic, but Larkin and Hughes? Ugh. #detroitredwings #hockey

I would like to share this with my Trump-loving friends and family, but we can't talk about him anymore without arguing. But this is absurd.

I miss Twitter. Not the platform, but the sense of community it enabled.

F.B.I. Director Celebrates Hockey Victory as Bureau Stares Down Crises

The people who say “why does everything have to revolve around politics?” would do well to hold their elected officials to the same ideals.

Moroun donates $1M to MAGA fund days before Trump's bridge threat The Moroun donation to super PAC MAGA Inc. came just before the president threatened to prevent the opening of new bridge between the U.S. and Canada.

Huh. You don't say? #detroit #michigan #politics

Goldberg was invited to the Signal chat (mistakenly, or not) because Waltz has his contact info.

They can say all they want about “fake news” or “witch hunts” but they still value press coverage. I suspect Waltz talks to Goldberg regularly, even if it’s off the record.

Arlington Cemetery website scrubs links about Black and female veterans Pentagon leaders have ordered that their websites and social media pages remove articles and images that “promote” DEI.

"Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website."

Trump keeps talking about making Canada the 51st state. Is he serious? President Donald Trump continued to belittle Canada and threaten it with joining the United States as the economic war with the country continued.

Trump continues to troll us. Making Canada the 51st state (and adding their electoral votes) would put Republicans at a decided disadvantage for years. But the more Trump says things, the more the media starts to sanewash his comments, to the point where it almost becomes normal. 💁‍♂️

With everything that's going on in this country, the Conservative subreddit (which is where I keep my finger on the pulse of what conservatives are thinking) continues to focus on shit like the Epstein files and ICE. Must be nice to stick your head in the sand.

But that would mean Chris Illitch cares about winning, and I'm not sure he does.

These people are so far gone.

Pope Francis Left In Hot Popemobile | Onion News Network

Pope Francis is in critical condition after being left in the backseat of a hot Popemobile, which was parked outside a Vatican City convenience store for nearly an hour while members of the Swiss Guard "ran in to pick up a few things."

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

An entire group of MAGA men boasting they are “born to ride Donald J Trump”

The Democrats have to start from scratch when it comes to how they communicate. That will take a new generation of leaders who are fluent in sarcasm and memes.

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

Darn it.

I know someone who thought this was actually a funny response and that "it's good to laugh." 😐
