A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

ICE Detention Centers Face Huge Backlash—Before They’ve Even Been Built open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Cartoon by @billbramhall.bsky.social.

Republicans, seriously are you that broken…

I'm pretty sure there's not

I believe in giving credit where it’s due. Hang the entire Gorsuch concurrence in the Louvre. Master class in telling your colleagues they’ve lost their fucking minds.

A large banner featuring Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, a 34 time convicted felon and serial rapist, was hung on the exterior of the US Justice Department headquarters.

Butler, Ohio Republican Mayor Wayne Dingus was charged with voyeurism after he was caught sniffing an underage girl’s underwear.

McConnell dunks on Trump.

Q - Why can’t you just work with Congress on tariffs. Trump - “Because I don’t have to.”

Other MAGA metaphysical certainties are that every person Trump fires or is forced to resign is always replaced with someone worse, and his response to every loss in court is to do something worse than the behavior just prohibited by the court.

I’m shocked.

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

DOD this year got a massive and unprecedented increase in their budget for a country not at war, now Trump and Hegseth want even more so they can play war with new toys. The defense budget should not be increased by another penny, let alone an absurd $500 billion.

MAHA was always a con. It was always about the ego and ambition of a drug-addled narcissistic fraud.

No Republican in the history of the United States has personally attacked more of his fellow Republicans than Trump. No Republican has done it more often or as long. No Republican has ever actively campaigned against other Republicans as often as Trump.

From World News: French justice authorities have officially launched investigations into the Jeffrey Epstein case focused on alleged human trafficking and financial crimes. Prosecutors in Paris have opened two separate judicial inquiries following the release of new files connected to Epstein.

There are many heartbreaking things about Epstein but one of the worst is how much the abuse was made possible by preying on young women who needed help paying for their educations. Speaking as a scholarship student.

This is a letter to Bill Barr as AG from an alleged child victim. It sounds disjointed but if the allegations are true, then that would be enough to wreck anyone mentally. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... #doj #epstein #files

Ohio GOP Sen. Jon Husted has got some problems. First, he was taking caught donations from Epstein co-conspirator Les Wexner as recently as last summer. Now he's got shady ties to the largest bribery scandal in OH history. Via @heartlandsignal.bsky.social: heartlandsignal.com/2026/02/20/j...

. Justice for the Epstein Victims ! Release the Epstein Files - completely. NO MORE COVER - UP !! 💠 👊 💠

BREAKING: List of Epstein Victims Attending Trump's State of the Union Address: - Dani Bensky guest of Chuck Schumer - Sharlene Rochard as a guest of Rep. Randall - Liz Stein as a guest of Rep. Fernandez - Virginia Giuffre's Family as guests of Jamie Raskin Don't let Trump bury the coverup!

Major news: Dozens of companies line up to sue Trump to get tariff refunds as he continues to lash out on Truth Social. Trump eliminates the de minimums exemption and reimposes 10% tariffs across the board. The DOJ was caught trying to scrub Epstein files that could be used to blackmail Trump.

New Mexico officials are reopening the investigation at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch. Let’s be clear: they’re investigating claims that girls may have been murdered and buried there. It’s a crime scene and should have been taken seriously years ago. Instead, here we are. Looking at a cold case.

Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government? He should be held accountable.

Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trump’s tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work. Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

Spot on!! 🎯

Totally illegal.

Evidence of voter fraud WAS found:

What else are you missing? Have a seat — this is gonna take some time.

👀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...

NEW: Tom Homan declared last week the ICE surge in MN was over, and the drawdown of federal agents would carry on through this week. But ICE is still all over. “It certainly hasn’t stopped,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. "People are very much on edge."

I am legitimately STUNNED by this, and skeptical, but also a bit relieved to know that EVEN MAGA cannot accept some of the cruelty being dished out by trump. WOW! 😮 STOP BUILDING CONCENTRATION CAMPS!!!!

Can we have a conversation about how much Trump grifted/profited from his tariffs? Vietnam allowed him to build Trump golf course. Switzerland & Tim Cook gave him gold. S. Korea gave him a crown; Amazon, Google, Apple, Target, Uber, Pfizer donated $1 million to inaug to avoid tariffs.

Newsom: It’s a tantrum on top of a tantrum — Trump attacking his own handpicked Supreme Court, which has been completely supine. It’s been doing his bidding, particularly on the shadow docket, for months and months.

Newsom: It’s the last stop. There’s no Board of Peace here. You can’t reestablish a new Supreme Court with a billion-dollar tithe and 27 of your friends from overseas. It’s time this guy starts to understand that he cannot operate as an imperial president — that he is subject to the rule of law.

The Trump Administration has a staff infection.

just read a story about a little boy in SC who just learned to ride a bike but he was unvaxxed and got measles and got really sick and got a spinal tap and then pumped with medicines and then his brain swelled anyway and now he won't ever walk or eat on his own and he definitely won't ride a bike

Donald Trump owes American families a refund.

See attached.

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

This was more or less what the bogs 2000 mules allegations were.

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/...

Note, NYT assumes that DHS told the truth about what happened, which would be crazy because they literally Never Have when they shot someone, especially an American.

The coverage on Trump's potential Iran invasion has been woefully inadequate. And that's before you consider that none of them say, "Iran already agreed to a nuke deal, Trump ripped it up, causing the problem he's currently facing."
