We spent decades sending kids the message they are completely on their own if attacked. The police will cower in puddles of their own cowardice; the politicians will wring their hands over how the gun industry might be affected after a slaughter, 1/2
Me, an intellectual: “wow so those state borders are real”
Watch as a massive crack forms in the ice on Lake Erie.

there are two things about this, one is that there is no prime minister of switzerland, he's talking about the president of the swiss confederation, which is a different thing entirely, and, two, i'm not sure you could make a more persuasive case to SCOTUS for nuking tariffs than this one
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

By the way, you know he’s later going to claim that he “saved the Stanley Cup” and Canada wouldn’t even be playing hockey anymore without him.
I don’t know exactly what tortured rationale he will come up with in his twisted brain to claim that, but it’s coming.

It’s great that the grand jury said nix, but the attempt was a significant escalation.
Grand juries keep seeing through the Trump DOJ's naked attempts to intimidate critics and political rivals — this time for accurately stating that illegal orders must be disobeyed. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

Jeanine Pirro tried to jail six Democratic Congress members for accurately stating the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
She will forever be a person who has done that and must always be viewed through that prism.

I struggled with calculus and washed out of university computer programs in the 90s because of that.
I’ve since had a very successful career in IT, and have not once used calculus.
I did however eventually learn it for fun.

ICE is thug trash.
ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Holy shit. Ro Khanna fucking did it. He just went up there and read the six redacted names into record and threw down the gauntlet, challenging conservatives to join the fight against the "Epstein Class." Did we just see our generations' "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" moment?
