You only want to trust the polls that bring in good numbers. Right? Why do polls if they‘re only going to bum you out? What does a president for life care about pole numbers anyway?

New in PN: Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain "He’s about to write a new chapter in the ignominious history of presidents thinking they impose their will by dropping bombs on foreign countries, yet he himself doesn’t seem to know why, let alone how it’s supposed to end."

There is no union. We are not United States.

This seems important www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Frogs in a pot

“Putin has already started “WWIII.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

Bessent, with no facts, is already blaming Dems for a guy getting shot a Mar-a-Lago: "This venom coming from the other side. Look at this terrible, profane Senate commercial in Illinois. I would call for them to take that down."

Howard Lutnick engaged in one of the biggest most abusive financial scams in American History when he persuaded TACO to implement tariffs that he KNEW were illegal. The amount of money he is going to make by having hedged against the illegal tariffs while in office is an abomination He should be

Trump‘s “Board of Peace” is not the joke it appears to be. x.com/charise_lee/...

Wut?

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

UK is really taking the stick to ol’ Andrew. And he isn’t mentioned anywhere near as many times as our pedo president. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump’s EPA is making mercury poisoning OK again. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/c...

The message from the DOJ is unmistakable: Justice is no longer the objective. Retribution is.

Warnock continued, “The folks who are so quick to use his name are some of the meanest people I know, and they support some of the meanest policies I know.”

This is pure fiction. Does this Navarro guy actually know how anything works? Cause and effect are not always always what they appear to be.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

This from the guy who cannot pronounce “origins” without it coming out “oranges.”

What happened, Pam? What changed? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTh46uw8w/

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

The talking-point guidance Barr and his MAGA fellows are smugly paraphrasing doesn’t mention that the voter document is an entirely new and different identification card. It requires anyone who has changed their name, as women often do when they marry, to prove it. The idea is to disfranchise women.

As Trump retreats, China rises as a global green superpower. www.bbc.com/news/resourc...

Ashley Moody was appointed to be an automatic “yes” vote for Trump. No wonder she refuses to be a much needed check on Donald Trump abuse of power. I’ll be that check on the chaos and corruption that is running rampant in this administration.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZThXnapa8/ So the asshole deported a desperately sick 2 month old baby and left him with absolutely NOTHING. The deep sick cruelty of this admin is SICKENING! God, I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!!

Eliciting that self-serving answer was the only purpose of that softball question. The Q and the A are an act of complicit propaganda.

If the MAGA fascists are allowed to enact their voter repression plan called the SAVE act, they will quickly regret it. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThXXDgqU/

Reality doesn’t live here anymore.

Leavitt: "I just have a quick statistic that I found fascinating and it's obviously true because I'm saying it up here"

Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.

Not exactly mass mailed. There’s a list of people who regularly get the day’s, talking points and guidance on what to say. The more people you have repeating a message, the more the message will sound like it is the truth.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

He’s confusing her with Kristi Noem.

Rep. Randy Fine: "It's quite sexist to imply that women can't figure out how to get a photo ID to be able to vote"

Goldman: "If Trump wants to put his name on everything, as he does, then let's start calling this the Trump-Epstein files"

The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (now known as DC Water) is an independent authority of the District of Columbia was created by Congress in 1996. Congress governs DC. The aging pipe that burst was buried underground. Why didn’t the Trump EPA see it coming?

His real name, Charles Eugene Roy, would’ve gotten tangled up with the zipper.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Where is the ACLU when it is most needed? Someone needs to file a lawsuit to block this.

.@RepJeffries speaks resignedly of the Constitution and its guarantees in the past tense. How’s that for stirring leadership?

In other words, we have seen our last free and fair election.

Trump’s White House ballroom monstrosity is growing by leaps and bounds. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There Trump goes again. He’s projecting.

Bessent gets no pushback from such blatant deception. Project 2025 is a manifesto for dismantling the American republic. It has no benefits for any but the very wealthy.

definitely sounds like protesters that are making the commotion behind Noem (also note that they've set up the news conference so you can't see anything behind her)

"While he rushes to place his name on monuments before he leaves office, he’s given every indication he’s fine leaving behind a trail of utter and complete destruction. In short, Donald J. Trump is a nihilist."

Yet another Trump lie. At least 10 countries besides the United States, allow mail-n or remote voting. The US military has always voted by mail.

No CEO in his right mind would ever base any long-term corporate decision on the grievance-driven policies of this aging criminal psychopath.

"While Americans should welcome Trump’s rapidly increasing unpopularity and must do everything they can to constrain him, realism requires a recognition that he's all but certain to do everything possible to cling to power — even if he brings the country down with him." — @davidrlurie.com
