I am going to start referring to all my lovers as my "special employees."

One scientist talking to two others. "These days. If you're not a mad scientist, you're not paying attention."

Me. I'm a mad scientist.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

The best part of this Lindsey Graham temper tantrum story is the Danish Prime Minister’s response to South Carolina’s most famous man-child.

Asked Friday about plans to house immigrants in former warehouses in Tennessee, the ICE spokesperson said “these will not be warehouses.”

That's right - they'll be more like concentration camps.

Ew.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

What a GD coward flipping a woman onto the ground. He is POS and I hope someday he receives the justice he deserves
Videos like this need to be shared broadly to continue to document the policies of this administration

Watch the National Prayer Breakfast speech and tell me again how Trump is a Christan. I'll wait.

I have no idea what people are talking about. I just hear an American hero with a wee little frog in his throat.

A lot of people are mocking JD Vance for comparing our economy to the Titanic, but it's a great analogy -- the wealthiest survived in half-full lifeboats while the rest of the passengers drowned and froze.

Jayapal: Did your investigation find that Donald Trump attempted to manufacture fraudulent slates of electors in 7 states that he lost?
Smith: Yes.
Jayapal: Did he pressure state officials to ignore true vote counts in those states?
Smith: Yes.

Or if it had been Nixon v. Johnson

Lots of places where we could have gotten back on track. Did you ever see For All Mankind?

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

I think about this timeline literally all the time.

Just got back from my time traveling dinosaur safari and you won’t believe how many butterflies I stepped on! Now to take a big sip of water and check on President Harris’s trip to Davos

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

This case was harder to follow than normal. I think it's because the stupidity and bad faith have finally reached critical mass.

This exchange is hilarious. I'm making an exception of commenting on people's looks when it comes to ICE.
