"In modern warfare, strength is communicated through optics. Through posture. Through a jawline that says, 'I’m batshit crazy enough to start a war I have no idea how long it will last, how much it will cost, or how many American lives I’ll lose.'"
It’s only matter of time before we find out that Kash Patel has a CRAZY sports betting addiction.
A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

That's not even slightly a valid comparison. Sorry.
It is the civic duty of every citizen in a representative republic to show up and vote for the kind of country they want. There were two clear, polar opposite choices. There is NO EXCUSE for not voting Harris to stop Trump. Period.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Seeing regime change as a new way to define his legacy, President Trump is already eyeing his next target: Cuba. Vivian Salama reports:
A map showing that most of the US West is having the warmest winter on record, while most of New England hasn’t had one this cold in over 20 years. Caption: “Wild chart from the WaPo - for a lot of younger people across America, this is either the coldest winter of their lives, or the warmest winter of their lives”
I just came across this map illustrating how dramatic the weather has been this year. I knew it’s been unusually cold and snowy in the Northeast this winter, but I didn’t realize it was this extreme!
On average, over my entire lifetime (b. 1970):
-Every. Single. GOP President to date save Ford has taken America to war.
-EVERY. Single. GOP President has crashed the economy.
-On average with the exception of Carter, DNC Presidents end up bailing us out of bad economies created by GOP policies.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
“We must now wait and see what becomes of Iran and their own vast riches of oil and natural gas reserves. I’m sure someone in the Trump family is already sending the bank account info and routing numbers for their next jackpot of soon to be purloined wealth.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
Something lovely in a rough day.

Roughly 100 ICE vehicles are on their way to a warehouse in Western Maryland, as signs mount of an impending operation here.
For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.”
Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.
Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?
Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine.
Don't think "four-dimensional chess"
Think "toddler + cheerios"

The “Department of Justice” that has no idea how to justice.
This is leadership. Thank you, US Women's Hockey Team!
BREAKING: Judge Aileen Cannon permanently blocks release of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump's handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Trump appointee says release would be 'manifest injustice.' w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
Judge Cannon claims that she *strains* to find an example where a special counsel released a report after in indictment that did not result in a finding of guilt. Here’s one off the top of my head: Sussman, who was charged and acquitted, is mentioned 311 times in Durham’s final report.
GOOD TROUBLE: Call your dem members of Congress and tell them to boycott the State of the Union *unless* they’re one of the members escorting Epstein survivors.
The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.
The Supreme Court ruled those tariffs were illegal and made clear a president cannot unilaterally tax the American people. Instead of backing down, Trump is doubling down with a new 15 percent blanket tariff.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social
