If this is airstrikes only, who are they supposed to surrender to, and who are the 'forces of liberation'?

In the months ahead we will be talking a lot about this.

CNN + CBS will, I think, become the most heated site in the Orbánization of American media.

On day one of the new boss those still working at CNN should expect to be treated as biased — liberal bias, of course.

That's the signal: it's on.

Americans should understand that Trump has forward deployed a substantial fraction of US land-based aircraft out in the open within missile range of Iran. This is a war of choice that could wipe out combat power the US might wish it had husbanded for other scenarios. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

Trump supporters who regretted their vote were a rarity in focus groups in his first term. But @margieomero.bsky.social is finding in her focus groups now that Trump regretters are "a real thing that is happening," just like @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social is as well.

Wild that a sitting member of Congress, a Republican no less, feels compelled to post this.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep.

Apparently morale at DOJ is so low that line attorneys are asking to be held in contempt so they can get some sleep yikes

when the feds essentially abandoned the scene today after gassing us, we saw upon returning to the intersection this pile of what we were pretty sure was alex’s coat & some of his clothes, a lighter & a crampon, with crime scene tape in it

we created the barrier to preserve likely evidence

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS.

Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.

It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."
