A week ago, Kash Patel told Congress that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a “convicted gang-banging rapist.” False.

Earlier this week he said “virtually treason.” Now he says “actually treason.” He is President, and has directed prosecutions. Not an opinion, a threat.

What Rep. Dan Goldmen describes is not “detention.” It’s state-sanctioned abuse, and it’s what happens when human beings are disappeared into systems with no accountability.

Musk told the Cabinet DOGE had briefly canceled Ebola prevention but fixed it “immediately.” Reporting, however, points to delayed testing, degraded samples, fewer health zones monitored, and former USAID officials saying the frontline warning system was dismantled. zurl.co/Udcf7
Jan. 13, 2021: “No excuses. No exceptions...Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice.” 2025: pardoned Jan. 6 defendants. DOJ in 2026: opened a “weaponization” fund they can apply to. Rule of law stops being the rule of law when it’s enforced only against his enemies.
There is a difference between maintaining the National Mall and treating it like a personal branding project. A no-bid contract for a rushed cosmetic overhaul deserves scrutiny, especially when the explanation keeps shifting.
Steady State’s Jim Petrila nails why Keepseagle is the wrong precedent. It involved Native American farmers, decades of USDA discrimination, a bipartisan waiver from Congress, a class action settlement, federal court oversight, and appellate review.
Someone may have made tens of millions betting oil would fall right before Trump announced progress with Iran. If that trade was based on advance knowledge, this is not just a market story.
The Justice Department doesn't work for Donald Trump. Yesterday, it is again acting like it does by opening a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who won two civil judgments against him for sexual abuse and defamation.
Patel’s performance was not just combative. It was evasive on a core accountability question. If Patel cannot plainly acknowledge that false statements to Congress are criminal, Van Hollen has exposed a much bigger problem than one ugly hearing exchange.
The pardon power was meant as a last resort when the justice system gets it wrong. Trump is using it as a loyalty program.
Trump talks about China with a kind of civilizational warmth he rarely extends to America’s democratic allies. With Beijing, it’s “250 years of respect,” shared values, family, courage, and national greatness. With Western democracies, it’s bills, tariffs, weakness, and grievance.
The question is not “Can institutions handle Trump?” We already saw the answer: only barely, and only because some people inside the room resisted him. Dr. Gartner raises the point that those people are gone.

I’m watching what looks like steam-like vapor rising from the Lake Michigan like it’s sea smoke! The temperature is 5° in Chicago but feels like -10°! Don’t get me wrong, it’s freezing out there but we’ve definitely experienced colder weather.🥶 It’s beautiful to watch!
Sketch comedy paroding the show "American Gladiators" with hilarious off-the-cuff commentary involving toilet paper debts, owing money to circus bookies, being threatened if you don't pay what you owe. If you thought auditioning for American Gladiators was easy, think again.
It's not the reason the Spurs scored here but the mindset from Wemby just speaks volumes. Fox swings to Wemby he looks to go 1v1. Nothing there, he swings. Now Vassell gets a drive, ball movement gets the Spurs a 3. Just feel more settled in and decisive around him tonight.

It’s not a bad season by any means, but I am not seeing what everyone else is seeing. Yes it’s WAY better than last season, but I’m just so confused and lost. K Michelle has gone insane. I can’t stand shows where I can’t follow along w/ what’s happening. But clearly the rest of the Internet can 🤷🏻♂️
