"For someone who likes to brand himself the “peace president,” this is merely the latest blitz in Trump’s already lengthy record of waging war over the past year." Read the latest by @swin24.bsky.social, @andrewperez.bsky.social, and @premthakker.bsky.social here: zeteo.com/p/trump-was-...

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

*whispers* I'm coming around to the idea of a President Gallego....

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

Score one for the Mayor. 👏👏

Looking forward to these details ....

Seems like more people should be aware Alex Acosta, who has “no remorse” about giving Epstein a sweetheart deal— and was rewarded with a Trump cabinet position… is now on the board of Newsmax🤔

Hey GOP why not make Hillary and bills deposition on Epstein public, as the request?

Don’t Be Afraid To Say The Truth: Donald Trump Is America’s Enemy: Our elections are the heartbeat of our democracy. Destroy our elections, and our democracy dies. Trump has been at war against our elections since 2026. He’s ramping up his war against our elections this year. So…what do you call…

"Epstein was a predator, and he was able to use his money, power and legal connections in a way that someone without his means is not able to do. He epitomizes the two systems of justice in this country. This must change." open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

There is a real argument that the Trump administration's ICE excesses are radicalizing judges of all political stripes against him and his admin. Decisions made by ICE (and the agency's general shrug at court orders) have dramatically brought down DOJ's reputation along with it.

"It’s insane that “how much killing will we let the killer robots do on their own” is being hashed out as back-room handshakes between the military and its AI contractors. This seems like a matter of public policy if ever there was one. Have we got a legislature?" open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

"Senate Democrats remain united in their insistence they would not vote to fund DHS until Donald Trump and Republicans agreed to real reforms. As they should—since the unbelievable scope of DHS’s lawlessness and brutality are becoming more obvious every day." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

"The midterm elections can’t change the executive branch. But the midterms can mitigate and in some cases stop the damage. They can point to a different path ahead. They could be a repudiation of the Trumpist project. Or they could signify acquiescence to it." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

He clearly has a political vendetta against Minnesota and he’s taking it out on our citizens without really stopping to realize that these are his constituents too – a lot of whom voted for him.

To its audience, Johnny MAGA looked like an independent voice, another outraged supporter in the MAGA media ecosystem. The account regularly boosts Trump’s Truth Social posts and goes to bat for the administration, attacking Democrats like California governor Gavin Newsom.

ICYMI: A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

James: It’s unfortunate that the president is weaponizing the federal government, particularly the DOJ. It’s also unfortunate that Pam Bondi seems to believe that the DOJ is the personal attorney for the President of the United States, rather than serving the interests of America

The White House is obsessed with hiding the President's involvement in a child sex ring. It's what they spend most of their time on.

Actually, it’s hurting children.

Trump administration tries to deprive poor Minnesotans of health care because brave Minnesotans stood up to them.

Why will Trump & Republicans get their asses handed to them in November? This. This right here is why Trump & Republicans will get their asses handed to them in November.👇

"In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." Madison

This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

The NYT just confirmed the missing Epstein files and is treating this like a blockbuster story: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

This is deeply illegal, breaking the Medicaid statute and the ICA. States are entitled to funding from federal govt to help pay for Medicaid. Providing less than the statute calls for is open and shut illegal, more akin to the impoundments Nixon lost unilaterally before SCOTUS than anything so far.

Q: "What's your message to the people of Minnesota who are still upset about the ICE surge as well? This is just one more thing on top of that.” Vance: “Our message to the people of Minnesota is that we love them. They're our fellow citizens. We are trying to do right by them.”

"When the regime is criminal and opposed to the liberal democratic order, the breaches aren’t even breaches—they’re standard operating procedure. Our media system was not designed to operate under a criminal regime."

Our president has no interest in elevating what is distinctive and admirable about America. Nor does he have any interest in addressing instances of gross injustice in America. For now, those are our tasks, and our duty.

#Pinks #ProudBlue Trump began dismantling CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) in 2025. The Regime probably thought the agency was working a little too hard to prevent foreign interference from elections. I’m sure Putin told him to get rid of it. stateline.org/2025/02/20/e...

Per the graf about trump DHS, uh, assurances… a lot of people involved in elections administration aren’t taking anything for granted, know that this administration’s promises are often as good as well, u know, and also DHS could always pull shenanigans. Agents could in theory by Near polls…

Last year was not the first time a President has tried to subdue Illinoisans with hired thugs.

Such a classic Trump story- all the elements of sexual harassment and contract reneging that he has always been known for. How did this horrid man get elected to anything let alone the US Presidency-TWICE.

Four of them are Minnesota guys — three from the cities and one (Nelson) who is part of Minnesy’s Royal family of hockey. Perhaps not a coincidence.
