Thank you. Fortunately, nobody was home at the time, but some sentimental valuables were taken.

Wow. It turns out that getting your house burglarized really fucking sucks. Who knew?

This is what I mean when I describe the Trump administration is short-sighted. We've killed Khamenei, but we aren't backing anybody else to take over, we're not supporting any resistance, all we've done is take out a figurehead. The next regime could be even worse.

As a reminder, Khamenei's predcessor, the Ayatollah Khomeini, was installed by a short-sighted American administration, which led directly to the current regime there today. Taking out the current Ayatollah simply creates a power vacuum over which we have zero control.

Like everything else this regime does, this attack on Iran is insanely short-sighted. I don't believe Israel would have tried this without the full support of the U.S.. Now that Khamenei is dead, that doesn't mean that Iran will return to how it was in the 70s.

Better the devil you know sometimes.

I admire your discipline!

I urge you to also watch this video, in which Malcolm Nance gives his expert views on the ongoing attacks on Iran. Excellent analysis and context that I believe we should all hear!

And that about sums it up.

I'm not sure I've ever cheered as much for a piece of legislation so hard simply because of the name of the bill.

As it's been revealed that Trump has bombed 8 different countries within a single year, and may be on the verge of bombing Iran once again, I present this song in honor of the men and women who will be sent to do this administration's bidding.

"How dare these fake news outlets report on what I say?"

That's been the line from the beginning, though, hasn't it?

My #LastFourWatched are an eclectic group this past week for this #LetterboxdFriday!

Reddit, Meta, and Google Voluntarily Gave DHS Info of Anti-ICE Users, Report Says DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don't come from judges.

Reddit, Meta and Google are all complying with voluntary administrative subpoenas to turn over user data on anonymous accounts that speak negatively about ICE.

THESE ARE THE REGISTRIES.

Political opponents of the regime will be targeted.

Bad Bunny's halftime show - 127 million viewers.
TPUSA "alternative" halftime show - 5 million viewers.

Puppy Bowl - 12 million viewers.

If I were Kid Rock, I'd be hanging up the mic after a humiliation like that. I knew it would be bad, but not "less than half the puppy bowl numbers" bad.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Yeah, it's pretty much like that.

Democratic governors should start holding regular, closed door meetings. Doesn't matter what they actually talk about, but it would start making the Republicans sweat profusely.

This should be in every campaign commercial come November.

A couple of new ones, a couple of old favorites.

I can both be proud of my nationality, and proud of others for calling mine out when it damn well should be.

The right said trans athletes had an unfair advantage. The data tells a different story.

Data reporter Melissa Lewis looked into the swim times of Meghan Cortez-Fields, one of the last openly transgender swimmers to compete as a woman in the NCAA.

We spoke to Meghan for an episode of Reveal:

At this point, I fully expect for the Epstein Files to be given every bit of weight and dole out consequences at the exact same level as the Panama Papers.

Meanwhile, over on Truth Social, Trump posted a video of the Obamas as gorillas. I look forward to the mental gymnastics the right will go through this time to continue to claim he's not racist.

If only the U.S. would follow suit.

34 U.S. States still allow child marriage, with 4 having NO minimum age requirement. This allows people to bypass their state's statutory rape laws entirely and makes child rape legal in the majority of the country.
