Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"
Journalists never asked Mitch McConnell, e.g., why he was blocking Obama from appointing a SCOTUS judge after Republicans lost the 2012 presidential election.
Happy week, everyone!

Just out joyriding in Marine Three, or whatever
If Donald Trump is at the White House signing Executive Orders then leaving for Mar-a-Lago, and JD Vance and Marco Rubio have been in Italy since Thursday for the Olympics, then who is flying in the area Northwest of the White House in the Marine helicopters around 12:30pm Feb 6 2026

We've only been aware of Trump's racism since a 1973 article about his real estate company refusing the rent apartments to black people, the first ever mention of his name in the NYT. That's why his Obama meme comes as a total shock. Who knew?

Amazing. If a professional wrestling crowd is chanting "fuck ICE," it suggests to me that large swaths of the culture are not just upset over ICE tactics, they're coalescing against mass deportations as a broader ideological project.

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.
And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

That's a whole lot of words I wasn't expecting to see together
Barron Trump was able to react quickly and assist a woman who was being assaulted by a Russian man in London even though he was in the United States. The incident took place in November 2025. They had met online; it is unclear what the extent of their relationship is.
![Screen grab of BBC website article from January 28, 2026.
Asked during cross-examination whether he was jealous of men the victim might speak to, Rumiantsev said: "What I was really unhappy about was that she was frankly leading him [Trump] on."
Mr Justice Bennathan KC told Rumiantsev the trial was about whether he "attacked her or not".
Rumiantsev responded: "I am being portrayed as a jealous person who can lose his temper due to jealousy. I want to just make clear that her actions towards him was wrong and it was not fair."
He added: "I was jealous to some extent."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2hfuecr62h22q7zk6sufr574/bafkreidjv7ielfhwmfgjyhiiqw7zlqi3zub6g6s34k7juvoly33zjlm2ci@jpeg)
