Today a judge ruled on what we all already know: the Trump Administration's weaponization of DOJ against Jerome Powell amounts to nothing more than a witch hunt. The Senate should not move forward with any Fed nomination until the probes against Powell and Lisa Cook are dropped.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

@sammyroth.bsky.social, just read your latest CCG post. Is tiny net metering now available leading to more batteries in new rooftop installs? Having a battery allows new installs to use excess power when needed later, rather than selling it back to PGE for a pittance. Your thoughts?

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out. I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

“No Kings” is not just a slogan - it is the fabric of our democracy. Our demand for No Kings doesn’t start (or end) on Saturday the 28th. 3/27 - Join us in DC as we Flood the Halls of Congress to demand the impeachment and removal of this regime. See flareusa.link/FloodTheHalls327 for more.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue." A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

I’m a hell no on funding for Trump’s illegal, disastrous Iran War.

Scientists and other experts were preparing an assessment of the health of nature in the US when Trump returned to the White House. He canceled the report. The researchers went ahead and compiled it on their own. This week, they released a 868-p draft for public comment and scientific review.

Heard from some people at @unitehere.org today miffed that the NYT didn’t mention the union’s role in these NC races—they knocked on 46,000 doors! And this story doesn’t mention sone people quoted are Unite Here members. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

Shelly Willingham and Nasif Majeed, two other Democratic lawmakers who also joined the GOP to help pass conservative priorities (though not the specific ICE bill I'm talking about here), also lost to progressive challengers tonight.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

TOMORROW: Primary Day in Texas, North Carolina and Arkansas! If you are in line when the polls close, you can STIL VOTE. TX: 7am-7pm NC: 6:3am-7:30pm AR: 7:30am-7:30pm Don't leave the line. You can still vote if the polls close as long as you're still in line. Your vote matters!

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

Yet the worthless MSM are still not going after his con man act and incessant lies Till they do, nothing worthwhile will happen to that con man and his BS act

If I were in charge I would've assigned each Democrat a time to walk out one at a time, then maybe two or three at a time, then maybe a group of ten or fifteen. Space it all out so by the end of the first hour there are none left. Would've thrown Trump off and become the story of the night.

EARLIER: U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Talib heckle U.S. President Donald Trump during his State of the Union address. Trump: You should be ashamed of yourself! Omar: You have killed Americans! You should be ashamed!

Dear news media, When you note in your State of the Union coverage that many Democrats are boycotting the address, SAY WHY. Cite Trump's constant lying, the Epstein files cover-up, the acceptance of bribes, and federal agents murdering people. Your audience deserves that information. Thank you.

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."

The next time Democrats have to do a filibuster they should read selected portions of the Epstein files.

Other countries have mental illness and extremism. USA has more murders because it has more guns.

Day 21 work in process The ICE Execution Style Murder of Alex Pretti January 24,2026 48"x72" Oil on Archival Cradled panel It's the message that I want to make sure is never forgotten or silenced

Would be a more powerful statement if ALL Democratic members of Congress skipped Trumpty’s #MisstatementOfTheUnion. And then picketed outside the Capitol to protest this regime’s unconstitutional destruction of American democracy.

1/ Okay, now I’m mad. Any Supreme Court in our nation’s history before John Roberts would have upheld the lower courts’ injunctions blocking Trump’s tariffs & not issued a stay that let Trump wreck the economy and break the law for over a year. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

A U.S. government effort cannot be financed by private or foreign contributions. Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 locks it down: No money leaves the Treasury without an appropriation made by law.

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

RCTC is set to spend nearly $100m on consultants for Coachella Valley Rail before the project is even shovel ready – which will take 2 decades. All for 2 low-speed trains a day on existing track. We urgently need to bring rail project delivery in-house. 🧵 calelectricrail.org/state-capaci...

NJN stands against bigotry. We're proud to be one of the over 50 civil rights, faith-based, and community organizations that are standing with the Muslim Public Affairs Council to demand that Randy Fine be censured and stripped of his committee assignments. Read the letter: tinyurl.com/y5nvb8vx

Today marks the first legislative session since our friend Melissa, her husband Mark, and their dog Gilbert were murdered. It will never be the same again. She accomplished so much as our beloved Speaker, and her legacy will benefit Minnesotans for generations to come.

RIP Jesse Jackson

I think (and hope) this is right

On this Presidents Day, a reminder: it’s not Kings Day. Our founding fathers created a president in explicit contrast with a monarch - bound by the rule of law, checked by Congress, elected for a specific term by the people.

”This is a world of compensations; and he who would *be* no slave, must consent to *have* no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

@marcelias.bsky.social’s call for a new jurisprudence is essential to an anti-MAGA political platform. As Toobin suggests here, that requires a clear progressive theory for interpreting the Constitution. Can the American Constitution Society rise to that challenge? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/o...

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have. When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Despite calls to “nationalize” elections, “the president has no lawful authority for such a takeover,” @seanmorales-doyle.bsky.social writes in @nytopinion.nytimes.com It will be “incumbent on all of us … to see the administration’s efforts for what they are.”

Polls confirm what our noses tell us: It’s the Trumpist right that’s living in its own cocoon. It’s true that not many middle Americans would identify themselves as leftists or even liberals. But they don’t want to live in a cruel country. trib.al/mka1m5z

Happy Birthday #FrederickDouglass! Feb. 14, 1818

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does? White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

One thing the ICE masks do is hide that Stephen Miller's white supremacist project relies on brown labor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTSe...

Beautiful clean coal. By Marian Kamensky.

The government has time to defend an ICE shooting on TV, but not to answer the Good family’s letters to preserve evidence in Renee’s killing. No outreach, no accountability, and reported talk of investigating her grieving wife instead. That’s how authoritarian systems treat state violence.

🚨BODY CAM BOMBSHELL "Do something b*tch!" Border Patrol agent says as they target U.S. citizen Marimar Martinez's vehicle. Despite BP claim they shot her 5x in self defense, one agent is seen w/ his finger preemptively on trigger—another aiming gun. "Time to get aggressive!"⬇️

Thank you for showing and reading from these letters. We must get to every tendril of the crimes against humanity underway by this regime. ICE out of everywhere is a floor. Perpetrators of these crimes must be put on trial. Close all the camps. Bring people home.

The new voter suppression bill—called the "Save America Act"—would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name. #StopTheSaveAct
