I immediately thought so, too. Looks like the same guy.

Release the Epstein files!

Walking Tall, a 70s hicksploitation flick about a sheriff avenging his wife’s murder, was a huge hit in the rural drive-ins of my youth. Turns out the “true story” it was based on was a total crock
Imagine having a life legacy so wretched that when you clear your appearance schedule to take a three day weekend millions of people excitedly anticipate news of your death.
Putin is a monster and Russia is a terrorist state. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦
Mission. Accomplished.
This is horrific Andriy Parubiy is a huge figure in Ukraine & part of Zelensky's parliament He was a big part and a big voice in the euromaiden uprising that brought down Putin's stooge Yanukovych Yanukovych fled to Russia & Parubiy now shot dead in Lyiv At the same time Putin is bombing Lyiv

What is it called when government owns the means of production again?
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
Excellent question.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
This administration has done a better job protecting the Epstein files than our social security numbers. #DefendersOfDemocracy

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”

“All the elements that contributed to the gun deaths are going to be investigated—except for the guns.”
I think we are in a quantum superposition between democracy and competitive authoritarianism. The 2026 midterms will collapse the wave function: we'll look into the box and see whether the cat is dead or alive.
The chairman of the Surry County Board of Elections claimed that someone at Dairy Queen had put drugs in his granddaughters’ ice cream. A video from the investigation revealed that he was the one who put the narcotics in it. After his arrest, he resigned. www.wral.com/news/local/s...

It's time for poetry
Putin's war isn't merely a war against Ukraine. It's a war against the West and the values of free trade, democracy, and the rule of law, and he's effectively using overt and covert propaganda to divide western democracies into factions divided against themselves so they aren't united against him.

Deaths and injuries as Russia launches ‘massive’ attack on Kyiv
Whoa there Governor - Chicago: “We don’t need the National Guard.” Also Chicago: “But if they shovel our sidewalks in February, we’ll talk.”
I'm going to write on this tomorrow. Everyone going around trying to align this mass shooter to their prior beliefs to attack political opponents are doing exactly what they wanted. It is simply about sowing chaos, gaining notariety, and inspiring future mass shooters by becoming a meme.
There is no motive or deeper meaning behind this mass shooting. The shooter wasn't far right or far left. Their ideology was mass shooter. There's a nihilistic violent extremism radicalization pipeline for mass shooters that has inspired at least 3 school mass shootings in just the last year.

Just remember, we are only a few Supreme Court decisions away from having a president we can't get rid of. Last year it granted him prosecutorial immunity. Now the fate of his absolute power will be decided by the Supreme Court, too. We are at the 11th hour.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
What we're witnessing today is that not all humans are great. About 30 percent of them in the MAGA cult are absolutely atrocious, despicable cretins.
The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say he’s emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism.
Wrote about this in January www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-... The curious, cowardly, unwillingness of supposedly savvy observers to say: it's the brainwashing, is one of our era's defining dishonesties

Kim Jung Un is gonna be pissed no one nominated him, with such stroke and zeal, for the "noble" prize.
If ingesting contaminated food resulting in the acquisition of a brain worm is good enough for the Secretary of HHS then clearly it’s good enough for the rest of us too.
A new verb just entered the lexicon. *To Witkoff* - to obsequiously flatter someone in such an overtly embarrassing manner that onlookers squirm with 2nd hand embarrassment. Example: Did you see that Witkoff guy witkoff the President?

That guy with the oversized flag being used to disguise a loathsome personality is one of the criminally "crazy people" yelling at our kids and destroying American democracy.
JD talks like the homeless just appeared from nowhere. Wrong. They’re vets, sons, daughters, neighbors the system dropped. They didn’t choose the gutter. Politicians like him put them there, now they want to bury them. That’s not fixing homelessness, that's turning you back on them.
Not giving a shit about the poor is the quickest way to determine that a Christian doesn’t give a shit about Jesus.
We aren't doing enough.
When tens of thousands of Americans are murdered by this pathetic wannabe dictator, let's talk again about protests.
Donald Trump respects his "solemn duty" like a hemorrhoid on his ass.
'Wait, wait, wait, wait': MSNBC host baffled by Trump's anti-South Korea claims
The U.S. Dollar Index, a measure of the dollar's strength against a basket of global currencies, declined sharply on Trump's announcement. Cook, who has a permanent vote on the central bank’s rate-setting committee, was appointed by President Joe Biden to a term running until 2038.
If Trump were operating in the best interests of America's businesses, his move to fire Lisa Cook would cause stocks to shrug, or maybe rise. But they're saying: This is dangerous. This move serves Trump, but not America. Our economy is at risk when the President undermines the Fed.

Being a Trump ICE agent will be the one job ICE agents will regret for the rest of their lives. They will be hounded and haunted by their actions and the internet will expose all of them for the world to see and get to know. Trump can’t protect you for ever!
