The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center. Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary — $190. The cruelty is endless.

U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe initially ordered the restoration on Monday without setting a deadline. She later clarified the order, directing the Trump administration to restore the 34 slavery-related panels at the President’s House in Philadelphia by 5 p.m. ET on Friday

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

I'm running for Congress to take the fight directly to Trump—but I can't do it if I'm not on the ballot. 🗳️ We need 1,250 signatures from NY-12 Democrats in just a few weeks. It’s going to be close. Help us hit our goal and protect our democracy. Sign up now: bit.ly/GeorgeConway...

Here's How Democrats Can Resist Trump Even as a Minority Instead of playing possum or the usual politics, former Republican strategist Kurt Bardella recommends Democrats give the spotlight to Epstein's survivors and victims of ICE after Trump's SOTU. thelefthook.substack.com/p/heres-how-...

If anyone is in DC on February 24th, come by and check out our live response to Trump's SOTU. Fantastic lineup. You can also see us on a live stream. I'll be moderating a superstar panel. Should be fun and juicy. www.defiance.org/sotu

Listen closely to every word of this

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

Holy shit. A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

It's hard to believe that you could be the trade representative for a major power and not know that tariffs are regressive. My econ 101 students know what the word regressive means, and that tariffs are regressive. Many could even cite studies on the subject.

We all need to be ready for this -- Lawyers, activists, elected officials, election workers and philanthropists. The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. And it is most squarely before us in the battle for free and fair elections this November. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

Incredible story that is worth your time to read. It exposes the ways in which the Trump admin is turning the legal immigration system into yet another arm of the mass deportation machine, transforming a benefits agency into a trap for those seeking legal status.

SEN. OLIVER: “They’re hoping to slide this through quietly.” Sen. Charlane Oliver calls on NASHVILLE folks to show up for two meetings this week about ELON’S TESLAS-ONLY TUNNEL — she says they’re trying to lock in a $30 MILLION 40-YEAR agreement with the airport. www.instagram.com/reel/DU1SCdS...

EFTA has helped expose a web of influence Epstein's tentacles reached every corner—across party lines & borders Some are losing jobs & facing investigations, but the fight for accountability is FAR from over @democracydefendersfund.org will continue working to ensure the truth comes out -TN

BREAKING : We @democracydefendersfund.org are suing the FBI for stonewalling records on its abruptly closed investigation into Homan’s alleged pay-to-play scheme He allegedly took 50k in a CAVA bag! We want the tape & more & we'll fight 'til we win 👇 www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/02.17.26...

Still no due process. The Trump Administration and Pete Kegseth murdered people. apnews.com/article/boat...

If Dems don't fight for their right to constant access to these concentration camps what are they even doing? These places are torturing people, and anyone not willing to expose and condemn that is too feckless to deserve our support.

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below). adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Your regular reminder that since August of last year, Mr. Abrego has agreed to be deported to Costa Rica, but the Trump admin refuses to do so because they want to instead punish him by sending him to an African country that will most likely detain and then deport him to El Salvador for the admin.

I can’t wrap my head around why Democrats are backing this terrible bill. Over 100 survivors signed a letter pleading with lawmakers to vote NO on SB 6239. Not lobbying. BEGGING to be heard. Their message: don’t cut justice for survivors to balance the budget. @wadems.org @housedemocrats.wa.gov

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants. Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps. Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

If they want to provide these IDs for voting for free and make sure it’s accessible to get one then we can talk. What they’re talking about amounts to a poll tax.

Trump’s EPA just rescinded one of its most important rulings that protected public health & the climate because Trump is beholden to coal & fossil fuels. @michaelemann.bsky.social joins for a sobering conversation about our climate crisis that has perilously escalated. youtu.be/9vx1zTG6VbI?...

NEW: If one phrase should be retired from Trump analysis, it’s that they have “said the quiet part out loud.” In today’s politics, there’s no quiet part. The president is making his desire to steal the 2026 elections loud and clear, and it’s due time we listen, Marc Elias writes.

Lifting up the life of civil rights icon Jesse Jackson. Hard to lay out the range of his work and contributions and how much he inspired. They are leaving us one by one, exhorting us to pick up the mantle with courage & determination. Justice work is a lifelong commitment. Thank you Rev. Jackson.

Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti. They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Good’s death. What don’t they want the public to know?

Mamdani: "$5.4 billion is a very steep mountain to climb ... We want to work with Albany to raise personal income taxes by 2% on the 33,000 New Yorkers earning more than $1 million per year and to raise corporate taxes on the most profitable corporations."

My latest: In Donald Trump’s politics, there is no quiet part. Everything is intended to be said aloud for everyone to hear. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-t...

President Trump keeps threatening to unilaterally impose rules (like voter ID requirements) on upcoming elections. Monday’s "One First" explains why—whether as a matter of constitutional law, existing federal statutes, or simple, practical logistics—his (ominous) threats are ultimately empty ones:

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

Does that seem fair to you?

Ossoff: “Among today’s false prophets are election deniers who indulge this president’s obsession w/ overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this: they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller’s total and humiliating submission.”

🔥 NEW VIDEO: I break down how it must’ve driven Trump absolutely insane to watch Obama get a standing ovation at the NBA All-Star Game — while he and Vance keep getting booed at every sporting event they show up to. The contrast is brutal. The crowd doesn’t lie. Watch below ⬇️

THE “EPSTEIN CLASS” The DOJ is using selective redactions and half lists that protect the powerful while intentionally confusing the public. They’re protecting reputations, not survivors. @khanna.house.gov

Europe is investigating while the Trump Administration is covering it up. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

Hey, Dem establishment, if you don't wanna listen to me and @joyannreid.bsky.social, at least listen to the ladies of the @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social. They "understood" me just fine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=peHH...

DOJ’s letter to Congress yesterday claims no improper redactions in Epstein files Hah! Members of Congress found otherwise & so did we @democracydefendersfund.org Tune in @ 7pm on @ms.now as I discuss

If all of the warehouses being purchased around the country by ICE have shown us anything, it’s that the federal government has the funds to buy property and house people instead

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

This does not seem fair to me. And this is the main reason why we can't have nice things.

Who would've thought that the government filled with pedophile sex traffickers would be proudly cruel to children?

Today is President's Day, but unfortunately right now WE DO NOT have a president. WE have a Deranged Demented Psycho Criminal Pedophile Authoritarian Dictator, who is trying to destroy the world to keep the Epstein files from coming out that will destroy him & other numerous rich & powerful pedos.

Her behaviour at the hearings was atrocious. Imagine if any previous Democratic Attorney General had ever responded in the same manner? They'd been drawn & quartered then roasted over a fire pit. I firmly believe her day is coming. She is a pitiful excuse for an AG. www.huffpost.com/entry/thomas...
