In any other administration, this would be a huge story. In this administration, it can barely get oxygen because it's buried under a daily torrent of destruction, criminality, and abuse of power. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

Sen. Gallego: Trump is suing your agency for $10 billion. Where would that $10 billion come from? Bessent: The general fund Sen. Gallego: So, taxpayers. Bessent: Yes

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

"It's such a farce. It makes me viscerally angry." Another heroic Epstein survivor rebukes Todd Blanche. On the deputy attorney general's claims about DOJ communications with the survivors.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Well, well, well.... Let's think about why the Russians leaked it and why Trump is pushing for it at this particular moment. Could they think his days in the White House are numbered and they need to grab whatever they can?

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free. gofund.me/e44538b52

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Here's a good recent example of what I mean, where a Democrat pushes back instead of accepting a Trump-friendly distortion as the premise. Thanks @hankhoffmanct.bsky.social for alerting me to it, @corybooker.com for sharing/praising it, and especially @neguse.house.gov for doing it. More like this

Voters discover that hot stove, yet again, turns out to be hot

About 60% of U.S. workers are not white men. Wouldn't know it from Trump's Department of Labor. Are we still supposed to pretend that neither bigotry nor misogyny are key to Trumpism?

This is insane. “It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Republicans will bend over backwards to pass tax breaks for billionaires. But stopping your premiums from doubling? They would rather shut down government than do that. And that's exactly what they are doing.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

No Fight Here....🇺🇸👇

Cassidy: Vaccines are critically important for public health. That's why I voted to confirm an anti-vaccine lunatic moron to be in charge of public health.

The GOP is causing all of this chaos just so everyone will stop talking about the Epstein files. Never stop asking where the files are and why they're covering it up.

Just heard it on CNN

So hang on…. Trump is going to offer to open up FUKKIN ALASKA TO THE RUSSIANS?? Wow. Let’s see republicans defend this

This is the proud work of some lovely Alabama Democrats!
