me and my RCFP lawyers outside the courthouse this morning
BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days.
Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work.
Details on thehandbasket.co later today!
Happy Lunar New Year!
May the year of the Fire Horse fill you and your loved ones with fearlessness, passion, and strength!
This made me ugly cry 😭
I will never claim that he was perfect…every president in my lifetime has pissed me off for one reason or another.
But…dammit, I’m so tired of the constant feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty 😔
Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.
This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

Health care monopolies on patient care screw over working families and destroy your ability to access affordable care.
All so corporate CEOs, like those from CVS Health, can pad their pockets.
We must break up big medicine. We need a Glass-Steagall for Health Care.
JENNINGS: “Let's not get our knickers in a twist here.”
MCGOWAN: “Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying.”🔥
Good to see that more and more steamrolling Scott and the Smug Face he tries to throw up. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!
“I’m embarrassed,” one former ICE agent with more than 25 years of experience told TIME. “The majority of my colleagues feel the same way. It’s an insult to us, because we did it the right way to see what they’re doing now.”

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.
The worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” has been suspended.
He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
It would not surprise me if ICE ends up killing Episcopalian clergy, sadly. Episcopalian ministers go pretty hard in the paint for civil rights.
The story of Jonathan Daniels, an Episcopalian seminary student, pushing Ruby Sayles out of the way of a KKK shotgun blast in Alabama comes to mind.
Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸
Exactly right
Tonight, you will be visited by three spirits…
@nebraskadems.bsky.social you can't make this stuff up.
Dear listeners,
When the days feel narrow and the noise gets loud, try a song.
Not as escape — as evidence.
Someone, somewhere, once felt this too and made something that still holds.
If hope is hiding, it often hums first.
No double-dipping.
AOC on a 2028 presidential race against JD Vance: “I would stomp him.”
.@pabloreports.bsky.social : Do you think you could beat JD Vance in a head-to-head race for president, as polling suggests?
AOC: I would stomp him.
Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.
This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈
