NYT: Strike on Alleged Drug Boat Off Colombia Expands U.S. Campaign to Pacific Ocean The U.S. military hit another vessel that the Trump administration claimed was carrying drugs from South America, a U.S. official said.

Senator Jeff Merkley just crossed 20 hours in his marathon floor speech on authoritarianism. He began speaking at 6:20pm yesterday.

Jeffries: We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight. And Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

🚨🚨🚨

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

The orange convicted felon is now demanding that bribe for hire Pam Bondi and what’s left of the Dept Of Justice to pay him $230M in compensation over the just federal investigations against him. Meaning he plans to steal another $230M from taxpayers. The fraud is endless.

My daughter just asked me what I would do if I had a penis for a day and I responded that I'd probably get a raise.

It’s amazing how our agonizingly long election cycles train at least some people to feel locked into limited options long before their options are actually that limited.

Oh look, Trump's $40 billion bailout just got a lot more expensive to finance. Argentina's peso has fallen to an all-time low against the US dollar. It has now collapsed 99.8% since 2009. Only someone with 6 bankruptcies would look at that and say, “I’ll take 40 billion dollars worth!”

This is a big deal… my congressman has been in DC for 24 years and hasn’t held a Townhall since 2012. His rural constituents are standing up.

The new pentagon press corps is a predictable clown car of loyalists. Well, accountability had a good run.

NEW: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced that he'll deploy the California National Guard and California Volunteers "on a humanitarian mission to support food banks as the federal government shutdown delays food benefits for millions of California families."

Raise your hand if you instinctively knew the MSM was going to drastically undercount the No Kings turnout. It was 12 million. Not seven.

Dictatorship at work. Tear down everything. Literally everything.

"Even if I were to humor your inaccurate understanding of the concept of 'Jesus is King' as a political statement, your actions as a lawmaker... clearly do not support the direct political application of Christ’s teachings."

Corporations are lining up to fund Trump’s supersized ballroom. They’re not donating out of patriotism, they’re buying access. And everyone should see the problem with that. Pay-to-play in plain sight.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for White House ballroom donors. Then he went to Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-per-person dinner benefiting his super PAC. Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio. The government has been shut down for 22 days.

People really need to wrap their heads around HOW ATTENUATED our election cycles have gotten. They're acting like the Maine primary was a race between Platner and Mills only and it's too late for anyone else to jump in. The deadline to REGISTER FOR IT is in MARCH! Go out and recruit SOMEONE ELSE

Last week, we co-hosted debate night bingo with Seniors for Zohran, some of our most enthusiastic and active canvassers, at a community center in Chelsea. They were joined there by a…familiar face. Tune into the final debate tonight at 7pm on NY1, WNYC or YouTube!

Why won’t Speaker Johnson swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva? Because she is the last signature needed to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files. This is an active coverup meant to protect powerful people from accountability.

A Jan. 6 insurrectionist named Christopher Moynihan, who was among the hundreds Trump pardoned in January, has been arrested for making a death threat against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Moynihan said he planned to kill Jeffries in New York City.

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

10. Those are managed by the Federal Reserve, not the Treasury, and they are limited to major reserve currencies among advanced economies. 11. This is another Trump bribe scam using $40 billion of taxpayer money.

8. This was politically driven support rather than systemic crisis defense, which is how the ESF has been used before. 9. This was not a standard central bank swap between peers like the Fed and the ECB.

6. Meaning U.S. taxpayers are exposed, and there is no upside or reward to offset that risk 7. It also bypasses the usual IMF framework, where risk is shared multilaterally, which means only one thing.

4. It also is not within the Fed's mission to do something like this. 5. Unlike the Fed’s swap lines with stable, advanced economies, the ESF is now taking on direct peso and credit risk from a country with a long default history.

2. It is a U.S Treasury–driven, politically timed intervention that includes a direct purchase of Argentine pesos, not just a mirrored loan. 3. This bs intervention is extremely rare and puts the Exchange Stabilization Fund, which is funded by US taxpayers, on the hook if the peso keeps sliding.

🧵Since Dems aren't educating people on what's really going on with the $40 billion bribe for Argentina, here are the facts: 1. This is not a gift. It is a Mafia-like policy used as leverage, both financially & politically.
