Well, folks, right now we sit back and watch over the next few days and find out how resilient our record-low snowpack is to record-shattering March heat. It's kinda like watching how your tank made of balsa wood holds up against a bazooka.
Everywhere else, it’s just a Tuesday. The Northside Skull & Bones Gang kicks us off for another Fat Tuesday of celebrations. 💀🦴🎭
Happy Mardi Gras, New Orleans!

Goldman: Trump promised oil executives that if they gave him $1 billion for his campaign, that he would do right by them. And they gave about 500 million. And this is a massive gift that is in violation of international law and is essentially just co-opting an entire country's natural resources for the benefit of U.S. Companies.
I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, THOUGHT THAT ON JAN 6, 2021 TRUMP WAS POTUS. BUT IT WAS BIDEN? SO SOMEHOW TRUMP LOST THE 2016 ELECTION TO BIDEN? I KNEW IT!! TRUMP IS A DOUBLE LOSER. (MANY CALL HIM "EL LOSER GRANDE") AMERICA IS FURIOUS. (SOME SAY, "FUMING") WE FINALLY KNOW WHY DONALD ALWAYS LOSES. HE'S A LOSER. (MANY ARE CALLING FOR HIS IMPEACHMENT.) OTHERS ARE CALLING TO THANK ME FOR SOLVING THE MYSTERY. (SAD BUT SOLVED.) THANK YOU. -- GCN, ("C" IS FOR CAN'T LOSE)
I interviewed George Retes, the US citizen who ICE detained for 3 days - and threw in solitary for 2 - and his story absolutely shook me. It felt more like an episode of homeland than real life. Truly sick treatment by @DHSgov thugs. https://t.co/XlLup0hUKt
IN A LATE NIGHT POST, TRUMP DOES NOT REMEMBER WHO WAS PRESIDENT ON JAN 6, 2021 (HE WAS), WEIRDLY SHOUTS “DO SOMETHING” (LIKELY AT CLOUDS). HIS MENTAL ISSUES ARE VERY BAD!
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.
Sliding into your AG’s DMs to prosecute your enemies is an ABSURD way to lead.
So is mocking people of color as unqualified — then turning around and appointing a junior staffer U.S. Attorney. It's like starting a Pop Warner QB start against Tom Brady.
And prosecuting Letitia James over mortgage fraud while letting three cabinet members who did the same skate? A joke — and everyone knows it.
Any other president would’ve been impeached LONG ago.
We MUST hold him to justice.
What a disgrace.
One Tuesday night, as my wife and I sat down for dinner, a sheriff’s deputy knocked on the door to serve me a subpoena from OpenAI.
I held back on talking about it because I didn't want to distract from SB 53, but Newsom just signed the bill so... here's what happened:

Don’t let the GOP’s lies fool you: undocumented immigrants can’t get Medicaid, Medicare, or Obamacare. The only way in which the federal govt might pay for their healthcare is through ERs, which are required to give emergency care to all people. Medicaid reimburses hospitals for uninsured ER care, but it’s a tiny share of spending.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.
Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And then basically to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state illegal, outrageous, unconstitutional
The two most prominent progressives in America who support Medicare for All deliver the most compelling message of anyone in the party about ACA subsidies
They’re also doing it without posting cringe jokes and memes from young staffers
A lesson, perhaps!
