The Morning Quote

Every accusation is a confession: “Here’s the main thing you’ve got to understand. Republicans are independently minded. Democrats are monolithic sheep that follow the Fuhrer Schumer’s orders.” — Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) Fun fact: Chuck Schumer is jewish and just published a book titled,  Antisemitism in America: A Warning.

JFC!

Murc's Law, again.

I’m seeing all sorts of Puritopians blaming the Democrats for The Orange 🤡 who the GOP nominated (THREE TIMES) and elected twice.

Focus on the Fascism, people. It ain’t coming from the Left.

Where The Rubber Meets The Road…

...or the tornado hits the ground, Wild weather across the Midwest tonight. A massive tornado outbreak across Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Winds are insane here in Chicago and we're under a severe thunderstorm warning with up to 70mph gusts. Be safe everyone! and Donald Trump, courtesy of DOGE and Elon Musk, have been making cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) which oversees the National…

Who’s Lying To Us This Week?

NOTUS email thingie tells us that the following will be the bigly events of the week: The Week Ahead House Appropriations Chair Tom Cole is pressuring Mike Johnson to hold a vote on a stopgap plan to fund the government this week before the rapidly approaching March 14 deadline. Trump said on Truth Social that the 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico would go into effect Tuesday after suspending them for 30 days.

Joseph Goebbels, er, Kristi Noem Addresses CPAC

NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland  — The Department of Homeland Security has budgeted up to $200 million to run anti-immigrant ads in the United States and overseas that repeatedly thankPresident Donald Trump for leading an immigration crackdown. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Friday night that these ads were Trump’s idea, and during the…

@TonyStark

I’ll add one small note that the Kansans know but did not say: once we've lost a market, it almost never comes back.

So for all the international sales that just flipped over to Brazil for soybeans (for instance), those are pretty much gone from the US forever.

Meanwhile, in Utah

Republicans really are not trying to hide it anymore: Nazi flags can fly in Utah schools, but not pride flags, GOP lawmaker says An ongoing fight in Utah to ban pride flags in schools entered new territory Thursday after Rep. Trevor Lee proposed new legislation to ban the flags not just in public schools, but in any government building or on any government property.

Who Says Dems Cannot Message?

I give that an A+.

People are being hurt in real time:

"Musk said DOGE was shutting down payments by the US Department of Health and Human Services to Lutheran Family Services, a faith-based charity that has been providing social services to refugees.”

@WarnerCrocker

Not yet, but I’m sure the torpedo is aimed right for it.

And if SCOTUS doesn’t rule that congress writes laws and allocates funds AS THE CONSTITUTION STATES, then there is no rule of law.

It’s that straight forward.

There will be/should be dozens of lawsuits challenging what The Orange 🤡’s OMB did or is doing on the grounds that it violates the Nixon-era Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

PSA:

I know a lot of my followers depend on @GottaLaff for breaking news - so note that she changed servers (it’s subtle):

It is NOT enough to keep the TV turned off Jan. 20. I advise everyone tune into whatever is on Comedy Central, so what does get our boffo ratings will make The Orange 🤡 head explode if he loses to Southpark or something.

And yes, of course he will say that it was the most-watched inauguration ever (he will say it no matter what), but ***the actual record*** would show otherwise.
