Donald Trump’s frivolous $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over his leaked tax returns, if he were to win or get a settlement, would be paid entirely by U.S. taxpayers. trib.al/napxpbZ

President Trump’s allies are offering access to him and other perks to donors who give at least $1 million to a new group supporting flashy initiatives he is planning around the U.S.’s 250th birthday, according to documents and interviews.

Video: Sen. Mark Warner Warns of “ICE patrols around polling stations” Aimed at Discouraging Latinos and Others from Voting in the Midterm Elections; Also, Warner says Gabbard going to Fulton County elections office is "Nixonian" and "stinks to high heaven." bluevirginia.us/2026/02/vide...

Massie: "I vote with the president 91% of the time. The 9% of the time my party is taking for pedophiles, bankrupting this country, or starting another war, I don't vote with them. And they want 100% compliance. That's why they're trying to take me out."

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

NYT: Howard Lutnick, Trump's billionaire commerce secretary, interacted with Jeffrey Epstein regularly over at least 13 years while they lived next door to one another on Manhattan's Upper East Side, records released by the Justice Department show.

Trump does this while Democrats talk about reaching out to Republicans non-stop.

NEW: Ghislaine Maxwell is set to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer all questions related to Epstein, Trump, and more during tomorrow’s deposition. Rep. Ro Khanna has sent the following letter to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer in response:

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

TrumpRx launched Thursday, claiming to sell discounted prescription drugs directly to consumers. Instead, it's offering: 1. a lot less than advertised 2. only brand-name, making them more expensive than generic 3. drugs that are nearly all covered by insurance already trib.al/0npHMKa

The Amazon Washington Post ladies and gents.

Not a moment. Not a trend. A constant. Evergreen.

The geniuses over at the Washington Post just fired 300 journalists because they alienated their audience in 2024 and 2025. Yet, they are still at it! Support independent, pro-democracy media by signing up for Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy! When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship. There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

The world of Jeff Bezos

Epstein took this photo at a 2015 dinner with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and emailed it to himself. Further review shows the same photo displayed on Epstein’s credenza. While much of the image on the credenza had previously been obscured, this email now makes clear what it shows.

Becoming more and more convinced that Bezos entered a quid pro quo agreement with Trump, where the quo is “destroy the Washington Post.”

Kash Patel, a podcaster selected because of his fierce loyalty to the President, told FBI agents not to investigate the details on Renee Good's shooting because it would contradict the President. Fact matter less than the King's opinion in a personalist regime.

I couldn’t even imagine my commanding officer pressuring me to go see a movie about the president’s wife while serving in the Marines. But this is Pete Hegseth’s DOD, where partisan politics continues to be pushed on troops who just want to do their jobs while serving America.

@jamellebouie.net is right. You can't win a fight by unilaterally disarming. We need more Grants. Less McClellans.

This is how dictators talk

I cannot begin to express how happy I am that everyone, including the people I hate viscerally, now agree with me specifically

“He fought Donald Trump and won” — @keithedwards.bsky.social on this week’s Prop 50 victory at the U.S. Supreme Court

Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal. @passantino.bsky.social has the details in his Saturday @status.news column: www.status.news/p/washington...

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now: bit.ly/4a2VtHw

Blue states banning concentration camps would have the effect of clustering them in red states, which the red states will hate

VA Dems at the state level are showing us the blueprint. All gas, no brakes. Use the GOP’s own tactics.

How it started: Youngkin mixes up Black state senators @SenLouiseLucas and @SenatorLocke How it ended: "Lucas single-handedly destroying Youngkin’s legacy projects (sports teams in NoVa, suburban GOP that can win) was remarkable to watch" - @daveweigel.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/02/8-wi...

The Trump effect.

This is the censorship Republicans lied that the Twitter Files were

VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

I found the dumbest most pathetic post on the internet today:

“worst of the worst”

Trump posting a meme depicting Black people as apes was totally about economic anxiety, y’all.

Bezos wasn't like this during Trump's first term. Trump, at least not to this extent, wasn't either. The Post needs someone who can stand up to Trump in his second term.

Good point. If there's a mysterious "staffer" handling Trump's social media, that person could start World War III. (Of course, the unnamed "staffer" probably doesn't exist.)

Comer runs interference for his boss. Plain as day to see.

We’re building on our world-class transportation network in Illinois. Thanks to Rebuild Illinois, we’re delivering a long-awaited investment into a project that will benefit our economy, communities, and people.

This is Virginia Democrats’ new House map. It creates 10 districts that Kamala Harris won by at least >50%, and 1 district that Donald Trump won by >70%. It’d take a current 6 D, 5 R House split and give Dems a very good chance for 10 D, 1 R. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion." That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Weird to even think that MAGA Elite root for the US, when all they do is trash on how much the US and its people suck.

And it wasn't a WH account. It went out under Trumps name.

WOW! WHITE HOUSE SAYS TRUMP DOESN’T WRITE HIS OWN TWEETS??? AUTOPEN!

RW out here highlighting today’s announcement about fraud uncovered in FEDERALLY run programs — launched during first Trump administration. Not sure how that’s helpful for them, but we appreciate it!

Notice how none of the elected Republicans in Congress came out initially to say the racist post couldn’t have come from Trump because it was something out of character for him.

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is taking a larger role in Democratic politics, supporting moderate candidates and helping drive the party’s economic message. Her heightened prominence comes as insiders begin to whisper more loudly about what she might do in 2028.
