A media concerned about the truth (I know I know) would note in every story/interview about voter fraud that it has been disproven as a problem over and over and over. Even better, note that when fraud has been found it is overwhelmingly done by Republicans.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

This was done at every agency DOGE went to.
DOGE allegedly used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 NEH grants it said were DEI. Grants were terminated April 2025, according to a court filing. E.g.

“I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted..”
Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I’d like to see government reforms that turn all of these appointment jobs into thankless, boring WORK. No book deals or contributor gigs or board seats etc for 20 years after. All flights are commercial or in the belly of a cargo plane. Only people dedicated to the work should want it.
What a story:
“Lewandowski and Noem, both married, have denied the reports of the affair, but people said they do little to hide their relationship.
“The pair have been using a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, for their travel around the country”

$100 says Kushner is behind this whole mess.
This is a BFD - watch this story. If any other country were to steal the assets of another country, move the money into a Qatari bank account and claim to have disbursed them with no audit controls we would see IMF and potentially ICC involvement. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

I’ve been thinking about this in the context of future attempts by executive branch employees that “I was just following orders,” which is of course a defense that shouldn’t be accepted but will undoubtedly be attempted. (Good and disturbing thread worth reading in entirety btw)
Meanwhile, DHS shows its contempt for the judiciary in a different way. In dozens, likely now thousands, of cases, DHS openly defies court orders.
Minnesota courts enter orders forbidding ICE from moving noncitizens who’ve filed habeas petitions out of Minnesota. They move them anyway.

Real good sign when the new laser drone tech is mistaking things for other things.
So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?
