interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors. Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.

Strange feeling watching the political career of someone as genuinely awful as Nancy Mace crash and burn because of the one truly admirable thing she ever did in Congress If Mace had been just a little more cowardly and refused to sign Massie's discharge petition, she'd be the next Governor of SC

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

one thing that frustrates me quite a bit about modern opinion-writing is that hardly anyone tries to argue with a particular person or a specific argument. it's all gesturing towards people saying something. take this piece for example. setting aside the merits of the argument, who is the target?

The State of the Union really highlighted to me three themes of the Trump presidency (especially the second one). First, it's notable that in a speech to joint session of Congress, how little Congress was asked to do.

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive — its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
On January 8, 2026, petitioner Juan T.R. filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.' The Court issued an order requiring respondents to file an answer no later
than January 12, 2026. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243 (requiring judges to either "forthwith award
the writ" or order the respondent to show cause, within three days, why the writ should not be granted).Respondents failed to answer. Accordingly, the Court granted the writ in part
and ordered respondents to afford Juan a bond hearing within seven days or, failing
that, to immediately release him from detention. ECF No. 4.
Respondents neither held a bond hearing within the required time nor released
Juan. ECF No. 6. The Court then issued a show-cause order and scheduled a hearing at
which it ordered the personal appearance of Todd Lyons, Acting Director of U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE"). ECF No. 7. The Court noted,
however, that if the parties filed a stipulation indicating that Juan had been released, the
Court would cancel the hearing and would not require Lyons to appear. Id. The parties
have now filed such a stipulation (ECF No. 9), and thus, as promised, the Court will
cancel the hearing, and Lyons will not be required to appear.
That does not end the Court's concerns, however. Attached to this order is an
appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. The extent of
ICE's noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated. This list is confined
to orders issued since January 1, 2026, and the list was hurriedly compiled by
extraordinarily busy judges. Undoubtedly, mistakes were made, and orders that
should have appeared on this list were omitted.
This list should give pause to anyone —no matter his or her political
beliefs— who cares about the rule of law. ICE has likely violated more court orders inJanuary 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence. The
Court warns ICE that future noncompliance with court orders may result in future
show-cause orders requiring the personal appearances of Lyons or other government
officials. ICE is not a law unto itself. ICE has every right to challenge the orders of this
Court, but, like any litigant, ICE must follow those orders unless and until they are
overturned or vacated
Juan asks that the Court schedule a hearing at which he may present evidence
and argument concerning the hardships that he has suffered as a result of respondents'
failure to abide by the January 14 order. See In re Tetracycline Cases, 927 F.2d 411, 413
(8th Cir. 1991) ("Civil contempt sanctions may be imposed for either or both of two
distinct purposes, to coerce compliance with a court order, and to compensate the
complainant for actual losses sustained by him as a result of the defendants'
contumacy." (quoting In re Chase & Sanborn Corp., 872 F.2d 397, 400-01 (11th Cir.1989))).
The Court will not schedule a hearing at this time. If Juan wants to seek monetary
sanctions, he may file a properly supported motion to that effect.
ORDER
Based on the foregoing, and on all of the files, records, and proceedings herein,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the hearing currently scheduled for Friday, January
30, 2026, at 1:00 pm in Courtroom 15 (MPLS) is CANCELED.

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Bauer, who is 49, struggled to maintain her composure as she described the day early this month when ICE showed up in force outside her school. Agents had been circling the school since December, seemingly learning its routines, and they arrested some parents just before the winter break. But this time, agents leapt out in riot gear and began entering the apartments just across from the school, where many students live.

“We had to lock down and keep the kids inside, and parents linked arms to block the school entrance,” Bauer said. “We had a student who was looking out the window and saw them break into his apartment and just sobbed, ‘That’s my house. That’s my home.’ And we shut the blinds, but it was too late.”

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”
Even even though the former childhood star is usually able to get away from his famous past in France, Culkin did share a funny story about a Parisian cafe that was using his name as its Wi-Fi password.

The actor explained that when he walked into the cafe, a woman handed him a
"Home Alone"-era photo of himself on a card.

“A waitress just gave it to me and walked away -- their Wi-Fi code was 'Macaulay Culkin,"' the actor said. "When she came back, I said, 'I like your Wi-Fi code.' She goes, 'Thank you,' and I say, 'C'est moi.' She turned white and brought over the owner of the place, who said, 'I knew you'd come here someday.'"

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
