New: In Munich, @aoc.bsky.social warns that democracies must deliver for the working class to stave off 'authoritarianism' She links domestic & foreign policy, saying the "rules-based order" won't survive unless regular people believe institutions are serving them. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.

BREAKING: We secured another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful immigration raids at houses of worship. This ruling restores essential safeguards to religious freedom, and protects people of faith from ICE intrusion.

"It was nothing more than another baseless attack from a federal government that lies to the American people on a daily basis. If the Trump administration wants to restore trust in our elections, it can start by telling the truth about them."

AG Kris Mayes on Noem's presser in Phoenix today: "Arizona's elections are safe and secure. The election deniers now staffing the Trump administration have spent the past six years lying to the American people in a deliberate effort to destroy trust in our election system."

I think more people should keep their insane thoughts to themselves.

I don’t love using the term “blood libel” for anything other than the historical phenomenon, but if anything in modern politics resembles it, it is JD Vance lying that Haitian migrants eat pets. A totally baseless claim about the supposedly inhuman habits of a hated out-group, justifying violence.

No.

An essential part of the term “blood libel” is that it was an accusation made against Jews with no proof or evidence. Those accusing the state of Israel of committing genocide have marshaled extensive evidence. It demeans the term “blood libel” to compare them.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Reporter: Part of the fighting inside DHS is also around Corey Lewandowski's pursuit to carry a government-issued firearm. This fight got so intense that a lawyer for ICE was walked out of the building and then was put on administrative leave. This is not normal.

“In the video and audio reviewed by The Post, at no point does Lemon appear to obstruct the pastor’s movement.” The indictment claims Lemon “physically obstructed” congregants as they tried to leave. The video in fact “shows Lemon holding the door for people who are leaving.”

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Just a reminder (this piece is from 2024), this is the same Corey Lewandowski who wants a government-issued gun www.cbsnews.com/news/corey-l...

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...

There must be a dozen fireable offenses listed in this piece: *Noem firing civil servants without cause *Her boyfriend using govt resources to boost her profile, punishing officials who would not give him a gun *Massive waste on ads, planes, delayed contracts, pushing favored firms

Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

DOJ's prosecution of Lemon, Fort, and the protesters is part of a broader Trump administration effort to constrain religious freedom to be only for white, right-wing Christians. I discussed this last week on Reign of Error with @briankaylor.bsky.social: redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

“.. using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought ..” @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

These people are ignorant of the Constitution and hate the idea of government constrained by law. All that matters is us vs. them, but the us and them shift more than on a bad reality TV show.

Just noticing that the Fulton Co election records search warrant affidavit entirely omits the mental state (“willfully”) required to commit the 1st of the 2 crimes cited. The FBI agent makes it sound like a strict liability crime, which it's not. (Sorry if this has already been widely reported.)

There is so much crazy shit, outrageous corruption, and naked, hamfisted ambition in this WSJ piece about Noem, Lewandowski, and DHS. Gift link. Read and take note of the of eye-popping number of sources who have knives out for Kristi and Corey. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

he was all tough when I heard him speak at NatCon a couple years ago. very funny to watch him fall over himself the minute anyone seriously questions him

And all for naught, too, poor fella. www.politico.com/live-updates...

NEW: We’re publishing a full list of the 373 federal judges who have ruled against ICE’s mass detention policy and the 28 who have endorsed it — as well as links to key rulings by each. Trump appointees have split 44 against/ 20 for the policy. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a cost to public health and the environment? Trump: I tell them don't worry about it

Look! "News of a potential immigrant detention center in Kansas City sparked fierce public backlash over the past month. At rallies and protests, many people called on Platform Ventures to not sell the building to the federal government..." And now: www.kcur.org/news/2026-02...

If you're not persuaded the Trump team is turning the 250th anniversary of US independence into a partisan clown show, note that Freedom 250, the dark money group that's taken over the party planning, is apparently partnering with Glenn Beck and Moms for Liberty. momsforliberty.org/news/moms-fo...

but the NYT told me she was worried about the children

Turning Point USA is allegedly "purging" staffers, after Candace Owens's crazy theories about TPUSA's involvement in Charlie Kirk's murder started to catch on with their own employees. My latest False Flag newsletter for @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/candace-ow...

“Musk’s longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying. The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January, according to the Guardian’s analysis…”

"The real action is in blue cities and states. Democrats outside of Washington are essentially declaring war against ICE and the broader anti-immigration apparatus that Trump has created." newrepublic.com/article/2064...

This is such an odd thing to say…

Leqaa Kordia, who was arrested during a pro-Palestine protest at Columbia University in 2024, and then detained by ICE a year ago and has been held in Texas since, suffered a seizure and hit her head: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Breaking: Judge grants Mark Kelly a preliminary injunction against Hegseth, who is reconsidering his rank: "This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Sen. Kelly's First Amendment freedoms & threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees."

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Cardi B called out ICE at her show last night: “Bitch, if ICE come in here we’re gonna jump they asses. Bitch, I got some bear mace in the back. They ain’t taking my fans, bitch”

Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct? MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened

To be clear, I will be there as a journalist, covering the actions taking place live on my radio program.

I will be down at the Stonewall Monument today where political leaders and activists will be defiantly raising the Pride flag again at 4pm. I will be there with my SiriusXM program, live on the air, interviewing folks there, including protesters, activists, and political leaders.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

A special team of prosecutors to investigate and indict ICE/CBP crimes is the moderate position.

"She sat there in the beginning, she said sorry for what Epstein did to us, but yet she couldn’t apologize for what she did to us, what her dept did to us. You had one job — was to redact our names, to respect our privacy — but yet you carefully took the time to redact all these powerful, rich men."

Despite calls to “nationalize” elections, “the president has no lawful authority for such a takeover,” @seanmorales-doyle.bsky.social writes in @nytopinion.nytimes.com. It will be “incumbent on all of us … to see the administration’s efforts for what they are.”

You see, they're sending them to a camp in TX, where abortion is illegal, because "pro-life." "Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape... Their pregnancies are considered high risk by definition, particularly for the youngest girls."

Feel free to ask your local indie or library to order a copy to help spread the word as well ;)

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.
