Hell yeah 👏🏽

When you’re right, you’re right

Obama used the Situation Room to direct the mission that killed bin Laden. Trump's team uses it to panic about Jeffrey Epstein. Read what's happening behind closed doors: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/stadium-wo...

"I don't think about America's financial situation, I don't think about anybody" To those in Congress who enable this lunatic, you are to blame. No amount of gerrymandering will help you. America gets it.

📌We are but one serious virus away from a catastrophe, and not near enough is being made about the fact that a former heroin addict and anti-vaxxer, who has ZERO training in medicine, academia, or scientific research would be leading the response. IT IS ABSURD.

The Ku Klux Kourt

Priorities dontcha know

Trump’s Golden Dome is a $1.2 trillion golden sieve that won’t stop a nuclear attack, but will balloon the deficit and boost the bottom lines of billionaires. We must not be fooled by Trump’s fool’s gold.

What’s up with that?!

Kash Patel hit with blistering line of questioning over 'gross dereliction of duty'

??? 73% of Americans disapprove of trump’s economy.

The first honest thing he’s said

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

John Oliver on the Supreme Court: "It was a 6-3 decision in the case of White People vs. Everybody — and you’ll never guess who they ruled in favor of”

Not only has Congresswoman Kiggans not apologized for agreeing that Leader Jeffries has “cotton-picking hands,” she’s doubled down and made excuses. What message does that send to the 20% of her constituents that are Black? VA-02 deserves better.

172 reports of sexual abuse and assault at the Tacoma’s Northwest ICE Detention Center. And instead of accountability, survivors were met with failed investigations, ignored evidence, and a system that protects private prisons over human lives.

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

"An ICE takedown caught on camera left a 19-year-old bleeding and requiring stitches to his head. Cellphone video showed the teen get tackled by agents. Once they figured out they had made a mistake, they dropped him off at a park, bloody and bruised..." www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/d...

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"

The racism section of this speech is stomach-churning. #SOTU

Mike Johnson thinks it's "detestable" for Democrats to boycott Trump's State of the Union, but he's perfectly fine with the cover-up of child sex trafficking and the disturbing details surfacing about Rep. Tony Gonzales.

Bravo gentlemen!

I just now learned that the audience online for the presidents state of the union address is down 50% from last year's sotu. These plain facts do matter to us. Trump is a major failure as a communicator. He seems to have lost his plot.

www.newsweek.com/abolish-ice-... Chicago selected “Abolish ICE” as one of six winning snowplow names in its annual public contest after a record turnout of entries and votes, city officials said.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

😢😢

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

"US immigration enforcement has evolved into a rapidly growing multi-billion-dollar industry in which profitability increasingly dictates policy and enforcement priorities." By: @tylermcbrien.com inkstickmedia.com/the-us-immig...

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

This madman must be removed from office.

@senslotkin.bsky.social and Senator Peters just don’t go!

Thank you Mr President! ❤️

Jeffries on VA's new proposed map: "When they go low, we strike back. That's the D approach and Rs are feeling it now ... Trump is the one who instructed 5 different R states to gerrymander. He wanted to rig the midterms and didn't think Democrats were going to forcefully respond. He got that wrong"

I said it, and it’s true. rollcall.com/2026/02/12/e...

That woman is a hero!

Other countries can do it, why can’t we? www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

Jones: You want to go through a list? Go through the list of perverts who hang out at Mar-A-Lago. Go through that list.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
