Meanwhile, MAGA pastor Robert Jeffress is cheering for live-streamed executions:
NEW: The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement firmly condemning plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan. Archbishop Paul Coakley calls the decision “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.”

“I visited the detective and his family at Jacobi Hospital with Police Commissioner Tisch.”
FACT CHECK - Markwayne Mullin claimed that an officer was stabbed and that Mayor Mamdani said nothing about it. Here's Mamdani's tweet:

MAGA poisons people's brains--and spirits
After antisemitic white nationalist Jake Lang ranted that Muslims are "mongrel Third-Worlders" who are "multiplying like cockroaches," MAGA pastor Lorenzo Sewell called on church elders to lay hands on, pray over, and anoint Lang with oil: "I wanna pray for Jake, y'all. I love that. I love you, man."

Sen. @DickDurbin: Prior to this hearing, Mr. Blanche told me he made a mistake by creating the January 6th slush fund. With witnesses and my staff to what I'm about to say, when I asked him about this under oath, Mr. Blanche falsely claimed that he never made this statement. That's not true. Mr. Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about a statement he made in a room full of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to avoid offending Trump.

Is this supposed to be celebrating America's 250th? President Grumpyface doesn't look like he's celebrating anything.

CNN: “MAGA GOP view of Trump, approve is 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove… he’s the 1972 Miami Dolphins.”

SCOOP: @Freedom250 — the group launched by Trump to oversee projects including the @UFC fight on the WH lawn & his arch overlooking DC — is offering access to him for donors who give $1M. For $2.5M, donors can speak at the national July 4 celebration. nytimes.com/2026/02/08/us/po…

Yes, like so many Christians who feel besieged by a wicked culture, I'm grateful to @TPUSA for platforming the God-fearing paragon who brought us hits like "Balls in Your Mouth," "Wax the Booty" and "Cadillac Pussy"
Like most Americans, I’ve enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. But the halftime shows began pushing moral boundaries and have become more and more sexualized. This year, they’re having Bad Bunny perform. The @NFL leadership is pushing this sexualized agenda. Thank you, @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk for providing an alternative—“The All-American Halftime Show” with the agenda of celebrating family, faith, and freedom! tpusa.com/live/tpusa-s-all-a…

ICE is arresting refugees in Minnesota who are in the country legally, flying them to Texas, re-interviewing them and then releasing them without a way to get home. nytimes.com/2026/01/26/us/po…

DHS Lies vs. What the Video Shows Official Statement (Homeland Security): “Figueroa blocked ICE agents’ vehicle, rammed it, then violently kicked agents.” DHS says this justified their use of force. What Actually Happened (Video Evidence): ICE agents crashed into her, jumped out with guns drawn, and dragged her from the car without clear cause or ID. She’s a U.S. citizen. Unarmed. No crime. They held her for hours in an undisclosed location. Why This Matters This is why we film. ICE lied. The video proves it. What You Can Do 👉 Visit: PAXIS.app ICE knocks. We answer.

The Christian nationalist Bartons--long known as Second Amendment extremists--laughably claim that they're being intellectually consistent as they essentially blame ICU nurse Alex Pretti for being murdered by ICE agents.
The Christian nationalists at WallBuilders have spent decades saying the Second Amendment protects an individual right to own nuclear weapons to fight the government. Now, after ICE killed a protester who was legally carrying a weapon, they're blaming the protester: peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

Photographer @mostafabassim1 photographed this boy walking home alone with a snack being "randomly" approached by DHS. "After he was unable to produce documentation proving his citizenship, agents informed him that he was under arrest." He said, "Can I just go home?" Answer: No.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Can't wait for the giant dance party on the plaza when this desecration is removed.
🇺🇸 Sneak Peek 🇺🇸 Our board recognizes that our Chairman, President Donald J. Trump, has not only saved this historic building but also created a truly bipartisan place to celebrate the arts. Some exciting changes are coming to reflect that—stay tuned!

Team Trump has been begging people to register for JD Vance's speech in PA on Tuesday. Vance is teasing a "groundbreaking" and shocking "MAGA truth bomb"

When you are writing a column dismissing claims of sexism within GOP leadership, it may not be a great idea to characterize women raising concerns as "a group of bitter shrews" who "want to turn their claws on Johnson." washingtonstand.com/article/…
