Lots of people are posting this link. Here’s a gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Lost in all of the defensiveness and parsing of emails and questionable contacts with Jeffrey Epstein is this simple question… Why would any moral, ethical person approach (and fawn over) a convicted sex offender and sex trafficker of young girls, in the first place?

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Trump and Congressional Republicans' ultimate goal is clear: make it harder for millions of citizens to vote. Your senators need to hear from you. Text SAVE to 63033 to urge them to vote no on the SAVE America Act. www.propublica.org/article/save...

The House GOP's just passed the “SAVE America Act,” would use a Department of Homeland Security tool that has repeatedly misidentified American citizens as non-citizens.

Another reason to oppose Trump’s attempt to take over elections through the SAVE Act.

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace. In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace. In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

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

Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know. The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project. Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.

And Jeffrey Dahmer was just an inventive foodie.

Exploit the hell out of this, Michigan Democrats 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦

When you're counting the ways that costs have gone up for Americans over the last year, be sure to include the cost of getting cheated. Because Donald Trump has cost families $19 billion over the last year just by trying to take the financial cops off the beat.

AOC with the zinger of the week.

Sure, child sex trafficking is bad. But did you know the Dow is doing well?

Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.

Gotta love it: "The Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act would impose a 100 percent tax on any settlement a president, vice president, cabinet member, or member of Congress receives from the government as a result of a lawsuit filed while in office."

If there are any survivors of sexual assault out there, don’t worry, Pam Bondi wants you to know the stock market is doing GREAT!

Blocking the new Detroit-Windsor bridge — as Trump is threatening — would be yet another act of economic self-sabotage Michigan has the most to lose, something Democrats will be reminding voters in key midterm races here @gregsargent.bsky.social lays out the stakes newrepublic.com/article/2064...

Every grand juror called for duty on this case has more integrity and a better understanding of the law and the Constitution of the United States than every Trump DOJ lawyer who touched this monstrosity of a case.

Out of everything real and projected heading into the November election, this is the one that scares the hell out of me

RFK Jr/MAHA world say they're not reducing access to vaccines for anyone who wants them, only giving people "choice" to opt out. But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

My take on Trump ordering the removal of the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in NYC is that he's a pedophile and rapist who is actively covering up his role in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children and doing everything he can to distract from that cover-up.

This needs a bigger headline. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

Howard Lutnick REMAINED friends with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER Epstein had his first conviction for bring a pedophile. Lutnick should resign. Pass it on.

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Right on!

Donald is a small spiteful man. He is probably also mad that the bridge is to be named after Detroit Red Wings great Gordy Howe, who was Canadian. The bridge deal was negotiated under Republican Rick (Flint water crisis) Snyder. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

Just like MAGA buying Melania tickets in bulk to try and make it look like it isn’t a flop.

The White House did a dishonest y-axis so I fixed their y-axis for them, you’re welcome White House www.howtoreadthisch.art/lets-conside...

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Notice how the idiot telling us to "move on" from the Epstein files released six days ago never shuts up about an election that happened SIX YEARS AGO?

I hear that Donald Trump wants Dulles International Airport named after him. OK . . .

judge a quarterback by whether or not he defrauds millions of dollars from poor people

The "White House staffer" who posted the disgustingly racist Obama meme:

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

I don’t think there’s a special place in Hell for Karoline Leavitt. I think there’s just some dreary alcove studio in Lesser East Hell.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

A reminder:

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump. This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

Guffo, Le Monde

Donald Trump is withholding billions of dollars in New York infrastructure unless he gets Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him. This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.
