Rough day for plan trusters.

Breaking Sky News: Peter Mandelson has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was led out of his London home by police officers this afternoon. Mandelson has faced allegations that he leaked market-sensitive information from Downing Street to Jeffrey Epstein.

Someone tell Pam Bondi it's time to talk about the Epstein files. The Dow is under 50,000.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right. Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on. The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

The extent of the Epstein cover-up makes it close to a certainty that he did *not* commit suicide inside his cell. You don't cover-up something like this and leave a living, breathing prime witness alive. Ask any mob boss. bsky.app/profile/muel...

NEW: Trump’s DoJ ordered New York SVU and New Mexico to stop investigating Epstein in 2019. www.justsecurity.org/132230/fbi-s...

I’m so fucking proud of the Olympic gold-winning US women's hockey team for declining to attend Trump's stupid State of the Union address.

After text messages revealed that Rep. Tony Gonzales pressured a married staffer to send him explicit photos and engage in an affair that led to her suicide, Boebert joins Luna & Mace calling for him to resign and defends it from Republicans concerned about their majority.

I'm old enough to remember the good ol' days when presidents were not only never corrupt but also went a long way to prevent the *appearance* of corruption. But some of them were just too f**king old for the New York Times. bsky.app/profile/fran...

The most corrupt president in history:

Now we find out how much FedEx paid in tariff taxes and how much of those fees they eventually passed along to their customers. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Reuters: FEDEX SUES UNITED STATES TO GET FULL REFUND OF EMERGENCY TARIFFS AFTER SUPREME COURT FOUND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAD NO AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE THEM, LAWSUIT SAYS

She was only following the orders of someone who is even more ignorant about the law and the US Constitution. And he doesn't even drink! bsky.app/profile/muel...

NEW: Box-o-Wine Pirro is dropping the investigation into the six dem lawmakers who made the "don't follow illegal orders" video. Sad! www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Elizabeth Warren: "This one is to me not even open or arguable. How would the US government keep money that the Supreme Court said it did not legally collect from American businesses, that it did not legally take away from American families that ultimately paid this?"

Probably in no small part because it casts Cannon in a terrible light.

Katyal: "We didn't specifically ask for refunds bc our legal time saw as a matter of course, if we win the case we do think refunds will come back. We are today launching a task force to fight for those refunds. We will fight tooth and nail for them if the federal govt tries to hold that money back"

Michelle Goldberg: “Not only has Congress not authorized such a war, but it has barely even debated it. The administration has not bothered to explain, either to Congress or the American people, why it might bomb Iran or what it hopes to achieve…This is how an autocracy goes to war.”

16 words: "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." www.realclearpolitics.com/lists/memora...

Katyal: "Here's the problem for Donald Trump: his DOJ, in our case, filed briefs to the courts that said Section 122 is inapplicable and the president can't use it. So now he's turned around & he's gonna have to somehow argue against his own DOJ's interpretation of the statute. I think that's tough"

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)

Regressive?!? You don't say!! Wolfers is right, of course, but this is rare mention of the word regressive in any public discourse. Tariffs are as regressive as a flat tax, the billionaires' wet dream. It's beyond me why Dems don't keep harping on this. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Wolfers: What we have is a pro-tax Republican president. Maybe he favors this tax because it’s regressive — it takes a bigger chunk out of the paychecks of the poor than of the rich. Maybe he thinks he can baffle us with bullshit and pretend China is paying, but that’s a story people aren’t buying

Trump wanted the Pope to stand by his side, one step behind, like every CEO and media mogul in the US. Not gonna happen. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government? He should be held accountable.

In all seriousness when I read this I first started to laugh and then a split-second later thought, you know, they actually may do this

Boycott these brands! Pass it on. I have personally bought a few of these breads. Whelp, no longer. Make those companies pay through your wallet.

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

And tariffs are a regressive form of taxation where an hourly wage earner pays the exact amount for a product as a billionaire like Elon Musk. Imagine if income taxes were as regressive both in the actual amount paid and in the actual rate. Even so-called flat taxes are not this bad.

Does this really look like the work of someone who knows about the US economy or how tariffs work?

I finally got around to reading the SCOTUS tariff opinion. These are just a few of Trump's schizoid tariffs that were officially documented in fed registers. There's not even a mention of the many Truth Social posts from his bed or his toilet at all hours of the day and night. This is insane!

Did he even look up from the paper he was reading?!? Why do they call this a "press conference"? It should have been an email. bsky.app/profile/tizz...

Who is the fucking person who asked if the Supreme Court justices were still “invited” to “your” State of the Union. What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT QUESTION?? THE COUNTRY IS NOT ONE GIANT FUCKING COCKTAIL PARTY!!!

Correct. Rep. Jody Barrett (Left) Sen. Mark Pody (Right)

Shouldn't the reasons Trump gave for not allowing the Gordie Howe bridge to open also apply to the current Ambassador Bridge, or am I missing something?!? And why doesn't the NYT ask similar questions? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u... bsky.app/profile/ronf...
