Why is this not headline news??? www.mediaite.com/media/news/f...

The Republican Party has become so utterly fucking vile I hardly even know what to say any more. If you support this kind of shit, you're just a bad person and should feel bad about yourself. I don't know whether that's "helpful messaging" but it's the truth.

The oligarch Kremlin: "A short story." @djrothkopf.bsky.social youtu.be/UBZxtb3Pvgc?...

David Rothkopf sounds the alarm on Trump’s stunning betrayal of Ukraine.

It's interesting that Mike Johnson is bringing up just war doctrine, because Trump's Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, is clearly and serially violating some of its most basic tenets: newrepublic.com/article/2083...

OSINT accounts monitoring U.S. military deployments are tracking on an ongoing "massive USAF airbridge" to Europe and the Middle East with a number of C-5s, C-17s, and KC-135s flowing across the Atlantic. U.S. is likely preparing an escalation and possibly more ground forces are on the way.

Trump puts his war of choice first and Michigan's working families last. Republicans in Washington don't have their priorities straight. My #1 priority is clear: put mid-Michigan first no matter what. That's why I'm running to beat Tom Barrett.

When former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was pardoned by Trump, there was a detainer in place that could’ve landed him in ICE custody like countless other immigrants. But the Federal Bureau of Prisons scrambled to get his detainer removed so he could walk free.

In a year Trump has converted cabinet positions into little dukedoms, where you don’t do any real work but are rewarded with luxury jets and exotic vacations and VIP accommodations at major events, partying with the stars.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election. Congratulations!

There is no Constitutional provision for investigating the president for sex crimes when the Dow is over 50,000. So it's safe to say the Framers would take a dim view of the Radical Left's Epstein witch hunt. by Jonathan Turley

Charges against Former Prince Andrew must be dropped if it’s determined that raping teenagers was an official act. by John Roberts (joined by Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett)

Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine on day 1 but Russia keeps escalating. The latest peace talks ended after just hours. I served as Amb to Ukraine for 3 years in a war zone. When Trump kept appeasing Putin, I resigned. Where things stand ahead of the war's 4th anniversary:

Guys I found the best Epstein Files email. The one that illuminates an elite class that's cocooned themselves into an unaccountable shell of wealth and privilege, fighting to protect their secrets and offenses. I could write a novel about this email. prospect.org/2026/02/17/e...

Keep this in mind when reading the nice articles about the diplomatic tone of Marco Rubio’s remarks in Munich. The deaths of millions and millions of people are on him.

Pedophiles Protectors... #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it. “There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

Term one: “democracy dies in darkness” Term two: democracy dies in daylight!

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Abu Dhabi poured a secret $500 million into Trump’s company. Then Abu Dhabi got the highest end AI chips that it had coveted (which could then go to China). & the Trumps took steps to try to cover it up. This should rank among the greatest US scandals ever www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Share this widely.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

A reminder that any former commandre of a NATO military spent most of their careers working with Americans and are not by nature anti-American. And, yeah, he ain't wrong.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

We need more plain talk and the plain truth. Thank you, James Talarico.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

This is spot-on from @gregsargent.bsky.social—and exactly what my next book is about: “Trump is making it unusually explicit that in this sphere of influence, Trump-approved oligarchs will be enriched by our regional spoils.“ newrepublic.com/article/2049...

Unlike Trump & Witkoff, most Americans aren’t seeking “amazing business opportunities” for US billionaires in Russia. We just want them to stop indiscriminately bombing civilians & end their barbarian war of aggression with their horde of convicts, rapists & foreign mercenaries.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

If you’re celebrating the mass deportations of distraught, exhausted human beings seeking refuge, you probably shouldn’t be singing sweet songs about a baby with “no crib for a bed.” johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/christian-...

This is gotta be the press photo of the year 2025

In Chicago, the courage of good, everyday folks getting in the face of ICE/BP and fighting back is restoring my faith in America In DC, the cowardice of Senate Democrats has undermined it, again America needs a government as good as its people. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The corporate sponsors of the White Houses’s new Epstein Wing are: Altria Amazon Apple Booz Caterpillar Coinbase Comcast Hard Rock Google HP LockheedMartin Meta Micron Microsoft, NextEra Energy Palantir Ripple RJReynolds T-Mobile Tether America & Union Pacific.

It’s disgraceful

Not sure why this image is so shocking, given everything he’s done but: it’s shocking! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting. I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him. Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

unfortunately a good metaphor for democracy right now

ICE is thug trash.

A pre-dog-walk 🧵 on the pandemic. To me, the lesson of the pandemic is a very familiar one, although as far as I can tell, no one is talking about it or learning it (which is also familiar). It's about the contrast between America's two political parties.

Patrick Henry expressed concern that the President “may easily become king,” James Madison replied that this would not occur because “[t]he purse is in the hands of the representatives of the people.” Full Henry quote on "you Senate" below: teachingamericanhistory.org/document/pat...

Trump struggled to walk in a straight line as he went to greet Putin
