Congratulations to Elon Musk for doing more to shatter the myth that outsized wealth is somehow related to a person's intelligence or sophistication than centuries of anti-capitalist propaganda ever could. Wealthiest man on Earth, but the same mind as any online gutter racist

On the one hand, good. On the other, the vote that spurred this slapfight was a xenophobic Paul amendment to cut off funding for basic services to legally admitted refugees and people seeking asylum.

Trump was elected largely because he was seen as "the best on prices" and immediately then adopted every single inflationary policy he could imagine. I don't think we appreciate just how much The Apprentice permanently shaped low info voters' images of Trump.

Trump repeatedly said "Iceland" when he meant Greenland in his Davos rant. But his press secretary is just blatantly lying about it.
Screenshot of a tweet from @PressSec dated 21 Jan 2026, reading as follows:

No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is. 

You’re the only one mixing anything up here.

Understand: these incidents are not an example of a failure of training, they are an example of a successful understanding of the true mission of ICE. ICE knows full well that it's the new SS, and that it exists to terrorize and abuse citizens into silent compliance. No training can fix this.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.
Screenshot of a post by Alex Luck criticizing others while showing an auction listing for a painting. The image displays a beach scene artwork featuring palm trees, a pinkish car, ocean waves, and a bright blue sky. Below the artwork is text identifying the artist as Hiroshi Nagai and describing the piece. Beneath that, a quoted post from the Department of Homeland Security repeats the phrase, “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him. So there’s that, too.

For one, the federal government cannot constitutionally commandeer state officials to do its bidding. But more importantly, the president does not see his political opposition as legitimate but rather as a target for a carceral and militaristic state. It is deeply undemocratic and authoritarian.

It would be great to find out if Patel is still sending new agents to the Holocaust Museum as part of their training. We went in the first week and after seeing the museum had a discussion about complicity and law enforcement that was led by someone from the ADL. This was started in 2001 by Freeh.

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

It's a cliche to say it at this point, but breaking the law for over a year while negotiating a deal that gives two of his biggest campaign donors part ownership over the most influential social media platform in the world would have been the defining scandal for any other president.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Look at photos of US troops in Fallujah. (eg here: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... ) They're armed like these ICE agents in Chicago. But none of them are wearing the cowardly face masks of today's ICE thugs. Like the one throwing a young, female Congressional candidate to the ground.

/8 I think there is a temptation, if you talk and write and debate for a living, to say that talking and writing and debating is inherently morally praiseworthy. I'm not sure it is. But that reflects a general philosophical split that I have with many people who talk about free speech:

/7 So I question the proposition that just because Charlie Kirk didn't go around killing people, but went around belittling and demeaning and dehumanizing them instead, that he's inherently admirable. Would I be a hero if I said I will debate ANYONE about whether black people are human? No.

/6 To me this is a little like the virtue of bravery. Bravery seems morally neutral in itself; its virtue depends on its ends. Very few people say "look, I don't agree with the 9/11 hijackers, but they were really brave and that's admirable."

/3 But I could be wrong; perhaps Charlie Kirk talked about how the wave of protests against Israel was a manifestation of free speech that should not be suppressed. However, I don't find TPUSA's professor list to have a particularly free speechy vibe, culturally or otherwise.

/2 See, a significant part of the "Free Speech Culture" movement is about saying "this person is standing up for the right to say things they agree with, therefore they are a free speech hero," even if they manifestly aren't in favor of free speech for other people they disagree with.

I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk. First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it. /1
