I still don't understand how this isn't the headline everywhere. If Biden or Obama said the words, "I'm allowed to destroy the country" Fox News would be giving tips on where to buy pitchforks and torches.

Also then he wouldn’t have any money, and I’d pay $2,000 to make that happen

NEW: Tom Homan declared last week the ICE surge in Minnesota was over + the drawdown of federal agents would carry on through this week. But ICE is still all over. “It certainly hasn’t stopped,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told me. "People are very much on edge." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

I’ve come up with a fancy new name for the MAHA yoga-mom anti-vax homeschooling crafty-ass wing of MAGA: the Zone of Pinterest

The Washington press corps does not recognize this as Christian persecution because the Christians being persecuted are not considered as authentic, which to say, as legitimate, as Christians who holler and shout about abortion. The Christianity of those actually being persecuted is erased.

Even though the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s tariffs are illegal, the criminal intent behind them hasn’t changed. Scott Bessent said, in so many words, that the theft of the American people will continue. As for the money already stolen, he said: “I got a feeling the American people won’t see it.”

What about when he lied about the woman his administration murdered? That was a pretty not great moment IMO.

Kind of weird how Kavanaugh repeats himself at the beginning and end of his tariff dissent—these two passages are remarkably similar, almost like AI rewrote one of them with some minimal variation. (Not saying that happened! Just odd.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

This is unfortunate. Sutton is one of the most moderate conservatives on the 6th Circuit, and sometimes casts the deciding vote for sanity in en banc cases. His replacement will be a MAGA nut who can tilt the court even further to the right.

A former compliance officer for the international financial powerhouse Deutsche Bank told the FBI she was fired in 2018 after raising concerns about suspicious banking activity from accounts owned by financier and sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, as well as accounts linked to Jared Kushner …

hard to believe that there's not much market for "impractical, barely functional, extremely ugly, prohibitively expensive, and developed by the world's most prominent Nazi."

It’s a good thing Lutnick is otherwise clean as a whistle.

Judge Ho, still campaigning for Alito's seat, adds that, just to be clear, he thinks placing the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms is totally constitutional.

10% global tariff, line forms over here for exception bribes.

My first #Dateline story aired today in 1995, in the pre-crime years.

good thing we lobotomized all our regulators (LEO satellites constantly burning up in orbit is also expected to degrade progress on the ozone layer, and makes astronomical research harder)

Trump calling the Justices that ruled against his God powers "RINOS" is pretty much in line with hanging his giant "threat face" on the Department of Justice.

I can't believe the rapey NYC real estate conman with a comb over and spray tan lied to me about glyphosate

Would you look at that? Now that Anderson Cooper isn't returning to '60 Minutes' due to Bari Weiss, they're now going to air his long-delayed (and heavily scrutinized) South Africa "white genocide" segment this Sunday. Sources told me it was Bari's meddling on this story that led to him leaving.

Another one of these awful stories. If they’ll do this to a retired white woman tourist with a valid visa and zero record, they’ll do it to anyone

Anytime a politician gets asked an actual question or gets faced with a follow-up they just meltdown and show they have no idea what they’re talking about. The veneer of respectability in our politics is a total illusion built on cooperation between the political and media classes.

Somehow Jeffrey Epstein is at the center of every modern conspiracy board.

This is an excellent piece on Trump's reaction to today's Supreme Court ruling, by the always sharp @djrothkopf.bsky.social:

So corporations got to pass on the cost to you but also get to seek a refund while ALSO keeping their prices high because why not everyone is doing it. www.marketplace.org/story/2026/0...

The depth of the Supreme Court’s corruption has forced us to find new language to describe its actions. Today’s decision, undoing Trump’s massive array of tariffs that upended the global financial system, is a case in point.

“Controversial” = things MAGA doesn’t like. Let’s be clear.

Going to build Hegseth a personal luxury destroyer.

he cannot demean himself because he has no affirmative qualities left to degrade See Webster’s:

Agree—important reporting on the ethical shortcuts to greenlighting this reprehensible study to sicken babies abroad in an effort to weaken trust in vaccines here. Notable to see Bill Ackman’s foundation turn up as another funder

I…..didn’t realize that this was going to be a story about me. I thought it was about the Revolution / 250th! I wanted people to know that everyday people coming together to act can result in momentous change… www.wtnh.com/celebrate-25...

The extensive coverage of AOC’s “um” answer shows the media word police are on the beat, the beat just doesn’t include the White House.

Given today's tariff ruling, I feel all-but certain President Crapgoblin von Yuckhands will attack Iran this weekend.

1. Yesterday, the Supreme Court struck down Donald Trump’s tariff scheme, because the power of taxation goes to the Congress, not the president. “The Framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the Executive Branch,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.

We're inching closer to conservatives hailing Jeffrey Epstein as a misunderstood, unjustly persecuted hero. Save this post.

This is basically my pitch for every project

Larry Ellison really is trying to create an autocratic-friendly U.S. state media similar to Orban's autocratic state television in Hungary. It's not subtle. If you're going to randomly inject yourself into the Paramount/Netflix/Warner Brothers debate, you should probably mention that:

the old sack and pillage trade

The FCC, in effect, banned James Talarico from appearing on Stephen Colbert's show last week to prevent the Senate candidate from Texas from getting attention. It backfired. He got more attention than he normally would. But what did people end up seeing? Two decent, caring men talking about God.

MAGA, we'll ruin everything.

He gets what tariffs really are: leverage against rich people, corporations and countries he’s seeking to extort. It was reported today that he was angry with the court, but it wasn’t because it “set back his agenda.” It was because it took away his most powerful tool for seeking bribes.

Wow, that's cool! Note that New Horizons flew past Pluto so rapidly it only got really detailed images of one side, hence the fuzzy parts.

Today, by a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump’s global tariffs exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The decision is a victory for the rule of law and the separation of powers. @lizagoitein.bsky.social explains:

"I look forward to broadcasters showcasing its inspiring history by taking the Pledge and fulfilling their public interest mandate to serve the needs and interests of their local communities" through Trump-friendly agitprop

“The architect of the current Court — the Federalist Society’s Leonard Leo — was behind the litigation that undid the tariffs. That tells you all you need to know.”

You could say the court saved Trump, but you could also say it gave his enemies strong grounds for accusing him of pulling off the biggest heist of the 21st century, and, because of the massive scale of the burglary, the economy came to a crawl.

We are all-new starting next Friday!

Though the Supreme Court has ruled the tariffs must change, the criminal intent behind them won’t -- as you can see here.

Refunds for corporations, but not you. finance.yahoo.com/news/bessent...

I think Dems should make a deal with voters: Give us the Congress and we’ll force Trump to give your money back. I think they should dare GOP counterparts to codify Trump’s tariffs & risk the allegation that not only did Trump pick ours pockets but his party wants to make pickpocketing legal.

Supreme Court says the biggest tax hike in over three decades was illegal the whole time. At least $290 billion stolen from the American people. The Democrats should promise your money back. A THREAD.

How much ketchup is on the White House walls right now?

Love this. They actually like to play

The warrants will find a way to game this to their collective advantage. Guaranteed.

It is funny that he can say whatever he wants about tariffs now, and the whole world is like "Sure, asshole." And then just go about their business.

I have managed to get through the last two weeks without understanding the word jestergooning

Talarico says love thy neighbor is the second of two commandments Jesus called on Christians to honor, the first being love God. There is nothing about his Christian faith that should be seen as alienating non-Christians. This is important to say because lots of liberals ain't hearing it.

Why is Politico giving respect and deference to a former Republican governor who encourages law enforcement to break state law? www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Trump sundowns into a mangled retelling of The Spouter Inn chapter of Moby Dick.

In case you don't know, Trump parrots Kavanaugh here. Kavanaugh blamed the court for not having a plan to address complexities, like refunds. Thing, that's not the court's problem. That said, if Trump nukes the court's public standing, that's fine by me.

So much fun talking tariffs last night with @skyeperryman.bsky.social! And it was a GULC mini-reunion with @michaelsteele.bsky.social too😀

Will be back on @ms.now shortly, this time with the brilliant @skyeperryman.bsky.social, to talk tariffs

yeahh, no

Yeah, pissing off your own voters is usually an electorally bad idea.

I love coffee. Will probably never voluntarily break up with coffee. Sticking with the really good, fair trade (etc.) coffee is *kinda* breaking my food & bev budget. WORTH IT. But. Really.

In 2000, Jackson went to rally in Wallingford, where he was met by “some 500 supporters and about a dozen members of white supremacist groups, some wearing white sheets and waving large Confederate flags.” A klansman confronted Jackson. And Jackson tried to lift his mask.

Despite being a Mac guy, I don't think it's great that RAMmageddon has gotten so bad that Macs are now significantly cheaper than equivalent PCs. Remind me again why we're letting AI bros wreak havoc on so many other industries that provide tech people actually *want* and find useful?

There is a misconception about this discussion. It is that Talarico and Colbert believe we should get religion out of politics. That's not what they said, nor is is what they implied. Their said religion and THE STATE should be kept apart, because the state, among other things, diminishes God.

1/ Even if MRC's data wasn't questionable (and it really is), Government, whether FTC or Congress, has no business investigating anyone's editorial decisions Nobody—not Apple, not Fox News, not the NY Times—loses First Amendment rights because people "rely on them to provide them with information"

I would argue that anyone who has a moral core, or moral foundation, from which to navigate their one life on this earth is actually a religious person whether they claim to be or not.
