Why the Republicans and Trump are trying to shutdown NPR and PBS. Sometimes they are the only ones who don't just repeat the spin.

No one can deny that ICE under this Administration is being overly aggressive, violating people's rights, and endangering the lives of U.S. citizens and law abiding immigrants. We cannot move forward without commonsense reforms.

We are doomed as a country.

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

Lincoln fought the wealthy slave holders and saved America.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Democrats, do not be fooled. If you cave and approve DHS funding, they’ll be back and worse than last time. Republicans keep showing you their hand, stop shaking it.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

I find the Christian anti-abortion groups and their supporters are the biggest liars.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

Yikes — Epstein showing appreciation for @GovBillLee pal Betsy Devos making it harder to report sexual abuse on campuses

We went from the greatest fighting force in the world to a buncha guys blowing up fishing boats and party balloons.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

In other words, to quote Hegseth’s favorite saying: FAFO.

HASSAN: You said you don't want to comment on these ongoing investigations because you don't want to bias them. So did Noem and Stephen Miller bias the investigation when they called Pretti a domestic terrorist? LYONS: I don't want to comment. That's their comments H: That doesn't make any sense

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights by moving to strip him of his retired military rank for reminding troops in a video last year that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders, a federal judge ruled Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“We’re the only country in the world that has mail in ballots”. - Senile Satan

A) This is a lie. Other countries have it. B) Trump uses it regularly. Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"

If ICE still stands for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" then why do Republicans want them anywhere near a polling location?

“Our affiant lied, of course, and we have now learned there’s video to contradict him.”

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

And you know that notion never, ever crossed any same person's mind

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.

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

The Epstein scandal isn't just about the disgusting sex trafficking of underage girls. It's also about the rich, powerful men who LIED to us to cover up their involvement.

Your American health chief, folks! 🙃🇺🇸

More proof that Bondi’s reprehensible performance was to please an audience of one who expects reprehensible performances.

The one Democrat who voted for the SAVE Act in the House was Henry Cuellar - Laredo, TX. He and his wife were recently pardoned by Trump for bribery, money laundering, and conspiracy.

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

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

A+++ post

Rand Paul to ICE officials on Pretti's killing: "Because people within the government made conclusions immediately that he was a terrorist and an assassin, people aren't believing that it's gonna be an honest investigation ... there has to ultimately be repercussions ... it's inexcusable."

We need more fighting Dems. Most of these confirmations of Trump nominees are unacceptable.

Rand Paul: "I see not even a hint here of anything aggressive on [Pretti's] part. I don't think this should take months and months. There needs to be a conclusion ... the public needs to know, if I go to a protest and shout something at people, could I be killed?"
