Nobody should be under illusion that this regime only wants to deport illegal immigrants.

AXIOS: “The Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize. It could begin very soon.” Is Iran in the Epstein files? www.axios.com/2026/02/18/i...

WHITE HOUSE: "When you see it on Truth Social, you know it's directly from President Trump." TRUMP 2 WEEKS AGO: "Somebody posted, a staffer posted ... somebody slipped. I didn't do it. This was done by somebody else."

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over. I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

The 79-year-old has been threatening action in the Middle East for several weeks.

"On January 21, Carr issued new guidance suggesting that the FCC bona fide news exception no longer applies to talk shows … or at least not to all of them. And who will be in charge of making the subjective determination of partisan motivation? *Brendan Carr, of course!*"

WATCH: “We still haven’t brought in the new AG commissioner.” Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social again calls for Chair Chris Todd to bring TN Ag commish Andy Holt to discuss the (Trump-made) farmer crisis 🧑‍🌾— and calls a moment of silence for Rev. Jesse Jackson… Todd immediately cuts short🤔

🔥 “This is not what my father fought for in Vietnam.” 💪🏽WILSON COUNTY folks showed up against an ICE detention center— they now say it isn’t happening and confirmation to media “was made without proper approval”🤔 (Translation: Speaking up works) NC5: www.newschannel5.com/news/ice-den...

🔥 State Senate candidate Lindsey Patrick-Wright (D): “Do not stop representing us. Demand transparency from the state. WILSON COUNTY does not want ICE here.” Officials now say a detention center has NOT been confirmed for Lebanon 🤔 💪🏽

Simply horrific. What are we becoming?

“Whenever we go past that school, Ty's like: ‘Am I going back to jail, Mom? Are you taking me back over there?,’” Ty’s mother said. “I felt like nobody at that school was really fighting for him. They were too busy trying to justify what they did.” (Pub. Nov. 2024)

Mike Rounds says Republicans just want to make you show your document with a yellow star in order to vote

"As diversionary battles flare across the national political landscape—immigration raids, diplomatic missteps, cascading legal losses, and Epstein fallout—one operation stands apart. Donald Trump is making his move where it matters most: elections."

As the harrowing hunt for Savannah Guthrie’s mother entered its third week, the FBI director was 2,500 miles away with his girlfriend.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

The FBI has not released all the evidence it has on this victim or her allegations against Trump. Her story was credible enough to be used to sue Epstein successfully and help convict Ghislaine Maxwell. Why can't the world see an unredacted 302 report?

Trump’s so-called Department of War is threatening to cut ties with Anthropic because it won’t help the Pentagon conduct mass surveillance on Americans or make fully autonomous weapons that the administration can use however it likes. Anthropic refused unfettered use. newrepublic.com/post/206631/...

Jesse Jackson, who picked up the civil rights leadership mantle after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and paved the political path to the White House for Barack Obama through two presidential runs, dies at 84. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

Rep. Randy Fine: "People should know Democrats like AOC are saying 'we are going to get rid of your dogs.' Americans need to keep that in mind when they go and vote in November."

BREAKING: Three people are dead, including a suspected shooter, and three people are injured after a shooting at an ice rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, according to the Pawtucket mayor’s office. This is a developing story. www.ms.now/news/pawtuck...

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

OPINION by Rep.Emanuel Cleaver II. "The White House’s bullying of local lawmakers to rig this year’s midterm elections reaches into my home state, Missouri, and targets my congressional district." READ MORE:  www.ms.now/opinion/miss...

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have. When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election." He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING." There is a big difference.

Public records confirm he married Bisa Hall on June 15, 1999—approximately three months before he allegedly approached his current wife.

What a humongous piece of shit

The first president’s decision to step down from the presidency after two terms “ensured America wouldn’t become a monarchy, or worse,” he wrote.

The president was at Mar-a-Lago for the romantic holiday, although he showed more love to the band than anyone else.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

Happy Flag Day, Canada 🇨🇦

Three former firefighter union officials and one current member told the Houston Chronicle that Marty Lancton’s election as union president a decade ago ushered in an era of intimidation. bit.ly/4ayEvjf

If you’ve ever wondered how Pam Bondi still has a law license after all this, you’re not alone. I lay out exactly why — and what it exposes about our accountability system.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @camcgrady.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

MARGE: “Trump fought the hardest to stop these files from being released. I know a lot of people have a hard time with that, but that is the truth.“ (From @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social )

Trump insider Tom Barrack kept in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, files show www.cbsnews.com/news/tom-bar...

The GOP's Big Beautiful Bill gave Trump tens of billions of dollars to create a domestic militia and prison system that he was all but certain to employ to assault our democracy, as I said last July. Now that Republicans are poised to suffer a catastrophic electoral loss, that assault beginning.....

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The Illinois Accountability Commission is gathering precisely the kind of evidence that will hold ICE and the Trump Administration responsible.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

While this is true, nobody in the Trump admin or MAGA movement believes this.

"[The previous owner] said a non-disclosure agreement prevents him from disclosing the purchase price, when it was sold, and to which federal agency it was sold." Why does a government agency get to keep this info from the public? www.crainsdetroit.com/real-estate/...

"Shoot first, ask questions later" is not how the use of force works. Especially not a stone's throw from a city and a civilian airport. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4659MsH

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.
