Trump says he brought in “$21 trillion” of investment vs. “less than $1 trillion” under Biden. Actual business investment: $14.5 trillion under Biden, $6.7 trillion so far under Trump. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

I’m puzzled by Michael Schmidt‘s assertion in the NYT that “Rosenstein did not ask Mr. Mueller to conduct the counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Trump.” As I wrote in 2018, that’s exactly what Rosenstein did. (Mueller didn't do it; I don't know why) www.acslaw.org/expertforum/... 1/2

"This display of disregard for plausibility and not even bothering to pretend to tell the truth reflects that the speaker is already operating in a society where the truth no longer matters. . .—the listeners know they are being lied to, but can do nothing about it.”--Keir Giles

this is so fucking disgusting.

American taxpayers are subsidizing companies too cheap to offer health insurance

Capital One’s lawyers would not have signed-off on closing Trump’s account unless the money laundering evidence was very strong; it would simply be way too much of a legal/reputational risk

Capital One Financial fights back over litigation tied "decision to close ‌the Trump Organization's bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money laundering experts...Marks the first time a bank has formally tied money laundering concerns" to Trump family. Via Reuters

I still remember the moment i realized that “debanking” was just referring to banks implementing anti money laundering laws

California's economy just posted its best quarterly growth showing since 2013. With the nation's largest GDP, the Golden State is keeping America's economy afloat despite Trump's failed economic policies.

Some interesting provocations here...

The most amazing part of this is when she tells him London is not actually a dystopian hellscape, and he, the world's richest man who spends his days cooking his brain on his Nazi CSAM social media site, responds "You live a cloistered existence." He really is an extraordinary moron.

“.. If Congress approves Trump's latest request, US farmers will receive $55.4B in subsidies this year. .. If spread evenly across 153.8 million U.S. taxpayers, that total would equal roughly $360 per taxpayer." @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.agweb.com/news/busines...

He's not always right, but on this particular point, I agree with the News Nation chyron that

Trump will release the video evidence of vandals cutting a 350 ft gash in the Reflecting Pool lining when he releases the Epstein files, and proof that the 2020 election was stolen, and evidence that the ICE agents who killed Americans acted in self defense, and

United Healthcare tells us to use Optum mail order pharmacy to save money. Total for my 3 scripts at Optum is $132 vs. $28 at Cuban. No brainer

People liked to speculate about Biden not actually being in charge. But here's Trump actually TELLING us that he doesn't know what's being done in his name.

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up. The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning. No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

A new Netflix comedy series by and starring Dan Levy is a wild inversion of Schitt's Creek. Where that show started out cartoonish and grew warmer, Big Mistakes is a frolic that grows more hellish. n.pr/3R4wA6V

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Unprecedented corruption

KHANNA: We needed a diplomatic solution REBECCA QUICK: But we know Iran wasn't telling us the truth. They've been lying and that makes people not trust diplomacy KHANNA: Yes, but it was ripped up by Donald Trump in 2018. The reality is Obama had gotten rid of 97% of their enriched uranium

One of the benefits the press has granted Trump is never connecting the dots. His statements are still treated as coming from someone who isn't a habitual liar, and his scandals are mentioned and then forgotten, never to become something that follows him around in other articles.

@schumer.senate.gov I wrote this over a year ago. Dem daily fact-checking briefings from the Capitol. I lay out how to structure and pay for it. (I worked on Capitol Hill for many years). If you'd done this your job would be safe, but Trump and GOP would not be. www.damemagazine.com/2025/02/21/d...

Okay but what if Trump was personally criticizing you as an official act in his capacity as president?

This is classic abuser speak. This is quintessential sadistic personality disorder speak. This is archetypal rapist speak.

Kara Swisher interviews Epstein survivors in a stunning podcast. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such strong women with compelling stories. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

This interview with the absolutely incredible, strong, tenacious Dani Bensky, Jess Michaels, and Liz Stein just blew me away. These women survived Epstein and have turned what they suffered into deep practices of advocating for others. Crying on the train podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

JUST IN: Judge Murphy has ruled that the Trump administration's policy of sending deported immigrants to third countries without notice or a chance to challenge is illegal and unconstitutional. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors. youtu.be/uoU9Img_B40

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it. Seems kinda bad?

where are the "free speech" warriors now www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

It's a police state. Call it what it is. See also: presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...

1. Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky, just did an interview where he said, on camera, that the director of the FBI threatened to investigate one of his staffers for fraud if Massey did not stop pushing for the disclosure of the Epstein files.

AOC on Epstein Files: We need to get to the bottom of it. It does not matter if you are a Republican, Democrat, or donor. We are talking about sexual crimes and trafficking.

NOAH FELDMAN: "If ICE agents can shoot civilians at point-blank range and never be held accountable, then we aren’t living under the rule of law. We’re living in a police state." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
