what is even the point of this

Remember when Roe was overturned and a protest broke out and RW media accused us of endangering the Justices' lives? Wanna bet that some MAGA nutjob tries to assassinate one of them after trump put a target on their back?

Texas early voting update: Democrats: 277,706 Republicans: 251,766

His needy narcissism has overcome the homophobic phase.

Apparently CLUB BABY LIONS is on the agenda.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Spending some time this evening reading through @bardcollege.bsky.social President Leon Botstein's emails to Jeffrey Epstein, and it really can't be overstated how much attention, sympthy, and care Botstein was giving to a pedophile sex trafficker. jmail.world/search?from=...

🚨BREAKING: In a decisive win for voters, the Utah Supreme Court dismissed the GOP legislature’s appeal in the state’s landmark redistricting case — clearing the way for a fairer congressional map to be used in the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

PSA Are you a doctor in a red state tired of watching kids die from vaccine preventable diseases? Are you a HC worker in a red state who wants to treat pregnant women in a timely manner? Come to Delaware, we are blue, not too crazy and we need you. We have beaches.

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/...

This. Today's ruling is primarily a multidimensional failure of the judicial branch, not really its robustness in the face of authoritarianism. This should never have been a SCOTUS case in the first place, & it shouldn't have taken over a year to get here.

A case study in how our top news organizations don't tell you the things you need to know the most. presswatchers.org/2026/02/the-...

Doubt he'll see a nickel but wouldn't it be great if he did and used it to help end homelessness, fund school lunches/assuage food insecurity and help folks get HC?

Again, there is no legislative or legal solution to this level of lawless authoritarianism, an entirely political problem for which The Founders, in their terribly finite wisdom, gave us only one never-used extraordinary mechanism to address: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

When media outlets defensively insist there’s no “evidence” of Trump’s “wrongdoing” in the Epstein matter, they’re misinforming the public, doing a disservice to the journalists uncovering this evidence, and helping Trump warp the meaning of this awful scandal. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-epst...

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!!!

There is a kind of smug, dull-minded "We're just here for the show" complicity in that room. During the press conference, Trump announced, not for the first time, "I don't talk to CNN, it's fake news." Why didn't the reporter immediately leave? Why does CNN still invite his stooges on its shows?

"When you're a star they let you do it..."

Trump announces a new 10% global tariff. Happy midterms, GOP.

The "president" is having a literal hissy fit on live teevee but we keep being told that women are too emotional.

The only consistent explanation for what the Trump administration is doing on immigration is "we want to lock up a bunch of people in camps." It's not about illegal immigration. Or crime. It's not even about deporting people. It's people like Stephen Miller lusting for an excuse to build camps.

Welp.

Interviewer: "When you look at today's numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs." Me, very serious economist: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahahahaha... oh, wow." Sometimes all you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all.

#BREAKING #SCOTUS blocks President Trump's tariffs.

In addition to being absolutely brilliant, amazing & charming in her own right, we all know she was raised by a single dad w/4 siblings and that he came to the US bc of persecution bc of his participation in the ‘89 Tiananmen democracy uprising, right?

Dun dun dun — Maria Bartiromo and company cope with a 4th quarter GDP number that is “even below the range of expectations”

They locked up a Colombian child coming to go to Disney World with her family. What the hell are we doing? And why in the world would anyone come here for the World Cup/Olympics? www.miaminewtimes.com/news/immigra...

He's sending his brown shirts to kidnap, brutalize and murder people They are literally buying warehouses to house kidnapped people He is looting the treasury No public health, vaccines, all toxins allowed. What are we doing here?

Over/under if Canada actually builds a wall.

Republicans have come up with a legislative response to the dangerous epidemic of women voting.

So who is paying the extra $60? Don't answer that, we already know.

in addition to converting CBS, CNN, Twitter, WAPO, and TikTok into right wing safe spaces, Republicans are gutting decades old media consolidation rules to the specific benefit of right wing local broadcast TV empires

Guess what I’m making tonight

"President Totally Exonerated" expressing sympathy for poor Andrew of course.

😕 ugly stuff here from the nashville banner… nashvillebanner.com/2026/02/19/i...

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

How much media will cover the so-called "Board of Peace" as the gross farce it is? Will they publish misleading headlines like "Countries Pledge Billions to Rebuild Gaza"? Or will they accurately emphasize conditioned offers, some from serial liars, many of which contradict each other. Like this:

The FBI interviewed one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims four times over her allegation that Donald Trump assaulted her when she was underage—but most accusations against the president appear to have been removed from the government’s documents. trib.al/qMpIK6t

RFK Jr. last month: "I believe that glyphosate causes cancer."

oh my goodness they're now playing Trump propaganda videos 2 hours deep in this "Board of Peace" meeting

The New York Times smeared AOC for saying “um”

They brought this on themselves.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

While we're all celebrating that no one is above the law, a reminder that the current King accepted literal bags full of cash from the Prime Minister for a foreign country and the Met failed to interview or arrest the then Crown Prince before quietly closing the case. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-6194...

The way the media, CBS, Colbert, the FTC, & pundits are treating Jasmine Crockett is why you’ll see fewer Black women in national politics. They want our labor, not our leadership. They said “for her own good,” then called bitter for naming the context that helped the other candidate. #Momsky #Pinks

U.K. action helps expose DOJ coverup: Feb 7: Bondi DOJ memo: "We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties." Sept 16: Kash Patel testimony: "There is no credible information, none" that Epstein trafficked girls to other men.

It's pretty fucking embarrassing -- damning, even -- that a U.S. scandal driven by U.S. elites is visiting consequences upon people in other countries while those most responsible for it continue to hold positions of the absolute highest power in America. Trash country.
