You can read the news and its sober people just straight up saying, “oh yeah the president of the United States is probably going to steal that oil money and we all kind of know it.” And apparently that’s just how it is now.

Can they also pass a ban on strangling babies in their sleep? Because that would another thing that's already illegal being banned that sounds like a win.

Um, I know open primaries and if one candidate gets SEVENTY PERCENT OF THE VOTE AS A WRITE-IN, that mofo won the election. What’s this runoff bullshit.

Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz, the top federal judge in Minneapolis, rips into ICE:
"ICE is not a law unto itself."
"ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

Today, Luke Farrell (@lukef.bsky.social) explains how complex eligibility requirements have turned America’s safety net into a lucrative revenue stream for monopolistic private contractors.
The Means-Testing Industrial Complex
As Republicans tightened work requirements and eligibility rules for Medicaid and SNAP last year, Equifax’s CEO openly celebrated the profits to be made from administering this deprivation.

I know it doesn't matter what the movie does since the whole point of this was for Amazon to openly give trump a $40 million bribe, but I am a little happy because you know Melania didn't want it to suck THIS bad. She was probably like "oh you know, it's OK if it's only seen by a few million people"

As a VA nurse, Alex Pretti was a member of AFGE. This union also reps Border Patrol, and may have repped Pretti's killer. I talked to VA workers who are furious and want Border Patrol out of AFGE. "For a union member to kill another is a fundamental betrayal of what a union is supposed to be.”
Alex Pretti’s Killer May Be Part of His Union
Border Patrol agents belong to the same federal workers union as VA nurses, a situation some of Pretti’s colleagues are determined to change.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
