"Trump refuses to apologize" is the inevitable headline that follows every misdeed. Apologizing requires a measure of integrity, self-awareness and, yes, confidence. Deep down, this man knows he's a shitpiece. He's terrified that if he's seen admitting an error, he's exposed...

Who woke Tim Scott?
We're not even a week into Black History Month, and Trump has shared a video that depicts former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes.
Republican Sen. Tim Scott called it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

This is a rare example of a problem I would like to see solved by private funds and a private contractor. The cost is relatively low, the scope of the problem is relatively small (though spread out) and the necessary action is clear. One donor focused on children could take it on and get it done.

Mike Johnson is flat out lying.
What a surprise.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.
Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

Weird how often the Republicans “don’t know” or “don’t remember” or “ haven’t looked at that.”
Q: Where the guns? Are they in the FBI's possession? And who has the phone that Pretti used to film?
BLANCHE: I don't know. I don't have answers to those questions
Q: Wouldn't that be something the FBI would need to conduct a thorough investigation?
BLANCHE: I was simply saying I don't know

As far as I'm concerned, Alex Pretti having a previous run in with the same goons that killed him, makes his death a premeditated murder. Arrest them all.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

What ceasefire?
The return of the last hostage’s remains could open the way for the next phase of the U.S.-backed ceasefire agreement, which could entail initial reconstruction of Gaza, the disarming of Hamas and a further Israeli pullback in the enclave.
