CBS just cut away and dispelled all the lies. Total failure. Nobody cares.

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump Just Did More Damage to Elections Than China
His speech was a mashup of charges that aren’t supported by the documents he released.

Is the United States the "greatest country on Earth?" On what basis can you possibly make that argument? And don't tell me about "freedom." There are other countries whose citizens enjoy greater freedom than we have here, and we are rapidly sliding into fascist authoritarianism. Greatest country on Earth? I think not.

Last time Congress messed with the number of SCOTUS seats wasn’t over mundane policy disputes in normal cases. It was to defend Reconstruction, the settlement of a literal civil war, from any Johnson appointments. It’s not flippant hyperbole when we describe the post-Trump agenda as Reconstruction.

People in the US are leaving cities & moving to exurbs, where they will be confined to cars & view other people as competitors for road space; where they will live in isolated castles & come to disdain the idea of public goods; where they will be atomized & brain-poisoned by RW propaganda.

A great exurban surge is reshaping America
The suburbs aren't the end of the story.

Are some US citizens starting to re-discover one of the primary arguments for democracy, which is that it channels what might otherwise be violent conflict into more-or-less sensible debate, words, voting, that sort of thing? It's not all about whether it gives you what you want when you want it?

I don't care what Kristi Noem and her husband are doing in their private lives. It's none of my business what consenting adults do in private. But I do find it very strange that these people believe the private lives of the rest of us are their business while they're doing this.

Email your senators to urge them not to confirm Jim O’Neill as Director of the National Science Foundation. He's not a scientist, has no relevant expertise, promoted vaccine misinformation, helped gut the CDC, and his Silicon Valley ties raise questions about protecting the public interest. (1/2🧵)

You may be inclined to amplify Joe Kent right now because of concerns over the Iran war. Don’t. He’s an extremist with deep ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers who never should have been in this role in the first place (sadly one of many in this administration). 1/

Sea surface temperatures are way above average in the Labrador Sea, especially where ice coverage is thin along the climatological ice edge. These warm anomalies also extend around Greenland toward Iceland for the February 2026 monthly mean 🌊 Data from OISSTv2.1 at www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt...
Polar stereographic map showing sea surface temperature anomalies in February 2026 relative to 1982 to 2010. Most areas are warmer than average. Sea-ice cover is also shown if sea-ice concentration is at least 15% per each grid point. Red is shown for warmer sea surface temperatures, and blue is shown for colder sea surface temperatures. Data is from OISSTv2.1.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

Imagine them still doing this with, say, Ratko Mladic in 1995. And the IDF has been massacring civilians at a rate that makes that guy look more like a somewhat boisterous drunk driver than a military commander.
