Kagro in the Morning - February 5, 2026

David Waldman has a lot of explaining to do and does it for a couple of hours today. Sure, there's child abuse images and deepfakes on Ex-Twitter, but Greg Dworkin only reads it for the polling. Generally, people hate Trump. They really, really hate Trump. There's not too many ICE fans either. There could be a blue wave if Dems play it right. If. The chances of a blue wave are helped by Trump being a dotarded jerk, and Donald K. Trump has put the pedal to the metal on that one, with no intention of letting up. Even if he wanted to avoid trouble, there's plenty of trouble heading his way. Senator Richard Blumenthal questioned several Manchurian Federal judiciary candidates and not unexpectedly got the same answers from each. ICE gangs still menace Minneapolis, but at least the infantry has tacoed for now. Greg Bovino wanted ICE to jackboot even more, but even ICE is beginning to realize that they are the baddies. ICE is losing legal battles, one after another just as they torture their own lawyers into submission. More than 300 former Justice Department attorneys want local investigators to investigate the Alex Pretti & Renee Good killings, because apparently, they haven't paid attention to the last decade. Why would China fund labs in Las Vegas and Los Angeles? Asking for the several patient zeros… Are they taking the jobs from our homegrown MAHA Listeria farmers? Steven KG Bannon wants ICE to surround polling places. Steve could be joking, but he'd also laugh if they did it. Tulsi Gabbard went to Puerto Rico to find some private time with voting machines. This voting thing has gone on long enough for Peter Thiel. Jeff Bezos killed the Washington Post some more yesterday when he discovered that fake journalists have a greater ROI than a free press, and that real journalism can get him into real trouble. Nick Shirley surely knows that modern reporters need to follow the money... wherever it tells them to go. Steven, Jeff, and Peter should be thrilled to know that since January another 108,000 people have headed into serfdom.
