- I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

- A Republican-led resolution could trigger tax season chaos, potentially pushing D.C.'s filing deadlines into the fall, depriving the city of almost $700 million in revenue, and eliminating tax credits for low-income residents. 51st.news/republican-b...

- Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"
- Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.

- Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
- It's hilarious that Trump is lazily going through the motions of the National Prayer Breakfast as his cult is planning to erect a literal golden idol of him.

- Trump's "Gold Card" scheme sells visas to the highest bidder! What happened to the land of opportunity? It's not just unAmerican, it's ILLEGAL One rule for working families ... Another for oligarchs More👇 on why this case matters -TN
- I sometimes worry my firm belief that our system is rigged is just a rationalization. The only other explanation is that we live in a political system where the American people have gotten the leaders they want. And, as such, are getting what we deserve. I think that’s too much for me to accept.

- Cory Doctorow: "America is not great. It has been gutted by the Epstein class, who robbed us blind, raped our kids, and are now selling us shitcoins and chatbots and the spectacle of protesters being shot in the streets." Another banger here:
- Whistleblower’s lawyer to Tulsi: “You have given us zero guidance… I will contact the senate committee re your conduct on Monday… I maintain top secret eligibility and have been routinely read into matters of national security…” (From @AdamParkhomenko)

- The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...
