The producer price index (PPI), a leading indicator of CPI, came in hot. Expectations were that Core PPI would be 3.0%, but prices jumped by 3.6%. The tariffs and policies of trump and his rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American economy and super charging inflation.

Hegseth’s reckless demands are dangerous and unethical. I’m grateful to Dario and the team at @Anthropic for resisting the threats and pressures to give Hegseth unchecked power to surveil us or start a war www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

It’s terrible; great that our Mayor called Trump directly, but going into a college under false pretenses and kidnapping a student is repulsive. There is no basis for this.

This is seriously going to be an issue for a lot of taxpayers before that.

The closing of African American Studies and GWSS at Iowa is absolutely heartbreaking. It is such an important time to study these subjects. Words really cannot express how upsetting this decision is. www.thegazette.com/higher-educa...

This is why you do stunts. This is why you do stunts. This is why you do stunts.

-Rep. Johnny Garrett lies that 50% of Tennessee crimes are committed by undocumented immigrants 🤥 -vivian jones writes accurate article: It’s 2% 🎯 (90% of those nonviolent/traffic) -Speaker Sexton accuses her of “downplaying” it🤔 -Vivian says she’s just correcting Garrett’s lies🔥

Please respect this man during his important address tonight by refraining from any activity that could be interpreted as a breach of decorum

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No! I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary. Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

The Chief Justice of the United States will literally change the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States instead of divesting in individual stocks.

Trump’s CFTC Chair Michael Selig announced today he will try to block states from regulating online prediction (gambling) markets. Wonder why?

I guess we know why Trump & Fox News are desperately trying to blame Gov Wes Moore for the federal gov’t’s failure to maintain the pipes that caused the sewage spill in the Potomac www.pbs.org/newshour/pol... governor.maryland.gov/news/press/p...

Wow. Just read the opening grafs of this opinion on Trump's ordered removal of an exhibition on the treatment of slaves in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

No concentration camps. No peace for anyone profiting off concentration camps.

An official post from the White House. Donald Trump, Vampire Hunter.

Very smart messaging from the White House here, making everyone think about Donald Trump as a ruthless predator.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

The SAVE Act failed to pass last year because of nationwide public opposition. Now it’s back, and Congress should reject it again. Add your voice: bit.ly/4tmVIor

No one can do everything, but anyone can wear a pin. (Unexpected perk-the sheer # of people who will compliment pin, ask where you got it, and thank you because they have been so scared.) Bonus points if you tell TSA you are sorry that ICE is causing this shutdown…

The WSJ investigation into Kristi Noem & Corey Lewandowski reads like a season of VEEP. I only fault them for not telling us who is paying for her fillers. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Women in Minnesota are giving a masterclass on what it means to love your neighbor www.glamour.com/story/the-wo...

New: Martin Rodil, an election denier involved with the Trump admin's 2020 election probes, said on a podcast that there's "a similar effort right now being conducted in Arizona in Maricopa County, where the U.S. government is conducting a deep investigation.” www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

So we’ve just kind of given up, right?

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

They will be warehousing people. And treating them as objects. These are concentration camps.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023. He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours. They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds. Without them, he will lose the organ. This is how people die.

“A republic, if you can keep it”

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

Your suspicion was right. Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations. He’s betting we forget in two years. In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

“Public outrage at the imprisonment of this small child is why we must deport his whole family” is *literally* what’s happening here. We need a stronger word than “monsters.”

Chris Murphy: “He’s telling you he wants to federalize national elections — he's telling you that he thinks he won Minnesota & Georgia & California, that the 2020 elections were rigged— He’s trying to rewrite history & trying to make sure that nobody other than him & his allies win in 2026 & 2028”

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow: Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too. Signed, the American people

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered. 18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

There has been no de-escalation

Thank you, @wmata.com.

ICE is buying massive warehouses with the intention of converting them into immigration jails in nearly two dozen communities

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.

Well, I guess the olds are about to figure out the kids don’t need TikTok to organize themselves. Good luck catching up with them. Keep going, Gen Alpha. You are loved.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

To liberally borrow from a clever friend, Dude, I’m not reading all that, but I’m happy or sad for you or concerned about your mental health. Hope you get what you deserve.

The FBI’s Atlanta field office boss was axed after raising concerns about the DOJ’s renewed push to relitigate the 2020 election.

Here's @evansutton.bsky.social's great wrap-up video from today. Even the danged dem senators are finally saying it: #AbolishICE

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Creating a new position to prosecute fraud and report directly to the White House destroys 40 years of post Watergate reforms to protect DOJ independence. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year. *That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.
