this was one day in, good lord

WSJ: “.. U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information say the Trump administration’s assertions about threats from Iran are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong.”

Very full from dinner. Gets a milkshake on the way home "to fill in the cracks" as my father used to say when we would go to Baskin-Robbins after dinner when I was little.

"It melts and fills in the cracks from dinner!"

Which is not how it works At All lol

RAMPELL: “.. we had less job growth all of last year than we had in an average month during the Biden administration.”

Hear me out -- ski jousting

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

The Atlantic’s profile of Bondi has some wow.

Okay. That's 1550 yds of a mile in freestyle. The remaining 200 yds in back stroke. And, this is good for me, the last 750 yds were in freestyle. I can foresee that I'll soon be back at the whole mile in freestyle.

So much foolishness in the political world mixed with intentional hatred and evil.

Mardi Gras is almost over. I was going full-out on King Cake the first half of the season. Then...nothing. I feel like a late-stage surge is needed.

Johnson on rpt that DC grand jury refused to indict six Democrats in the disobey illegal orders video: I'm going to reserve comment on this until I review this first I've heard of it..anytime you're obstructing law enforcement and getting in the way of these sensitive operations, it's a very serious thing, and it probably is a crime, and they probably should be indicted

Mike Johnson just claimed (for at least the second time today!) to be ignorant of major news developments that reflect poorly on Trump.

DRINK!

St. Paul: That's fine. We didn't want to be included anyway.

Charging Don Lemon, a Black man, with KKK Act violations is… a lot.

Has anyone read fantasy or world that uses magic type of book(s) with non-binary as main character and book having a happy ending? I am looking to expand my reading horizons further it’s nice to read suggestions from people who have actually read the book(s). #booksky

am i to understand the rage against the machine guy is in fact raging against said machine

Swam a mile today. I was the only person in the pool the entire time. Afterwards, I always thank the life guards for guarding my life while I swim. They always say, no problem.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

They say there's a Melania documentary out.

"I really don't care, do you?"

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Turns out Canada DID have some cards, after all. 🤡

If they ban whistles switch to cowbells. It'll be fun for all the Gen Xers.

Because we need more cowbell.

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.
