Not only has Brandon Herrera not apologized, his campaign sent a reporter a photo of a cream pie when she asked him about it. x.com/FBugenhagen_...
a photo of a tweet from faith bugenhagen, a reporter for the austin american-statesman, that says “asked @theakguy’s campaign for comment in response to these resurfaced remarks, this is what they sent:” followed by a photo of a message that reads “faith, here’s our statement:” and then a photo of a pie on a cooling rack covered in whipped cream.

Trump's teleprompter operator reportedly made more than $100,000 trading on inside information from Trump's speeches. Trump put him on leave—as he should. But why should a staffer face more accountability than Trump himself, who's blatantly profiting off his position every day?

White House teleprompter operator made more than $100K betting on Trump's speeches: Sources
President Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars by placing bets on the contents of Trump's speeches, sources say.

People talk about “redemption” and “comebacks” for men who never faced real material consequences or, more importantly, actually stopped harming other people in the first place

Oh hey @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com @fetterman.senate.gov @thirdway.bsky.social just putting this here to make sure you see it.
Screenshot from a round table discussion with 13 Democrats in the 2/17/26 New York Times showing that when asked if they preferred a candidate who identified as a progressive or a moderate, all 13 responded that they prefer a progressive candidate, and no one wants moderate candidates. I believe this is because moderates aren’t meeting this moment with the urgency it demands.

Dear Democrats: This story is being served up on a silver platter for you to hammer all the way to next year’s midterms. “Trump let violent criminals back out onto our streets.” Don’t let this story die.

“The government knew that only 6 of the immigrants were convicted of violent crimes ... officials were aware that more than half, or 130, of the deportees were not labeled as having any criminal convictions or pending charges”
texastribune.org
Trump administration knew most Venezuelans deported from Texas to a Salvadoran prison had no U.S. convictions
Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees to El Salvador were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration law...

Dear @washingtonpost.com, please check back in with the Ramirez family in Arizona you profiled the day before the inauguration. I can’t stop thinking about their blind trust of Trump and wondering how they’re feeling today. wapo.st/4kp9rFK

For this Latino family, voting for Trump was part of preserving their American Dream
They say Republicans can’t assume that they will always support GOP candidates, though. They’re waiting to see whether Trump keeps his promises.

It's not that I "hate" Democrats who pursue appeasement strategy; it's that I want them to pursue the only strategy that will ever work against fascists, which is defiant uncompromising performatively disobedient opposition, and when they opt for doomed foolishness I am demoralized by the failure.

Isn’t it weird how the word “filibuster” has disappeared since the election? Isn’t it odd that Mitch McConnell could lock down Obama’s first term but nobody can stop unelected Elon from pulling the wires out of the walls? Even if 49% of the country voted for this, what about the 48% that didn’t?!

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

I’m so frustrated and anxious I’m jumping out of my skin. The GOP perfected the opposition playbook during Obama’s presidency. Why are the Democrats acting like they have no idea what to do? Do what the GOP did! Oppose everything! No deals, no expediting anything. Fight back!
