“Today, the people of Merrimack and all of New Hampshire proved that organized, local voices are more powerful than a federal agency’s ruthless expansion,” she said. “This is a victory for us and all of New England but it is not the end of the fight.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/24/m...

🚨 An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. Other documents that mention Trump have been taken down (and some restored). www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Tonight’s state of the union.

Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal. Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets. This is part of dehumanization of immigrants playbook. Fear and hate is the point.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities. They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Watching @maddow.bsky.social and the description of Noem’s jet. Given the level of grift and corruption going on, these people will never leave willingly…they’ve gotten used to luxury (in a government job!) and they can’t live this way out of office

Austin Tucker Martin, killed at Mar-a-Lago, was a "Christian" tRumpstein supporter NOT trans, NOT Democrat, NOT immigrant, NOT a minority! He was frustrated about 2 things tRump ran on--the economy & releasing Epstein files MAGA is trying to say it was us...AGAIN! This one's 100% MAGA...AGAIN!!

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right. Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on. The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

NEW: Cannon accused Smith of "brazen" defiance by continuing to compile the classified documents report even after she ruled his appointment unconstitutional. It will remain secret unless an appeals court overturns the decision. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Mikaela Shiffrin knows that representing your country doesn’t mean denying its flaws—it means believing it can be better. This #CupOfJoe is for the brave Olympians who lead with humility and speak from the heart. 🇺🇸

"Senate G.O.P. Faces Pressure to Force ‘Talking Filibuster’ for Voter ID Bill" Doesn't matter what they do, law is unconstutional. Bill would take away right to vote for millions of voters. The law is attempt to address an issue that doesn't exist: "voter fraud"! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/u...

Complicated to legislate. The Legislators would have to define "truth", "belief" & grades of reliability in their sources of information. It will give a handle to another Trump to shackle the press.

This lowly district court judge should not have the final say on this matter. We all saw the photos of all those boxes by Trump's Mar-o-Lago toilet. He is guilty as sin. Trump makes a motion to dismiss, with prejudice, a lawsuit against himself? Only a corrupt justice system would let that stand.

WOW! As of this morning only about 350 letters had been sent out urging our Delegates to hold data centers accountable and lower our energy costs. BUT after we blasted this call to action, we hit our goal of sending over 1,000 letters to our Delegates. Keep going! actionnetwork.org/letters/shif...

I’d rather watch a toilet flush than hear a single bullshit lie the orange felon spreads. Tuesday won’t be a State of the Union, it will be the propaganda wordsalad hour of a rambling idiotic trashy tyrannical immoral sadistic criminal.

We need to hold the Epstein class accountable in America. This is a defining issue to restore trust in our democracy. www.ipsos.com/en-us/americ...

Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter: "Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social to @laurenboebert: “Y'all warned us about government overreach. You warned us government would cancel free speech. You warned us about government usurping the role of the church… All that is now happening and your party is enabling it.”

Nothing more Minnesotan than jumping in a frozen lake for a good cause. I joined Team Tessa at the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics and celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

that’s right

Noem must go. #TrumpMustGo #TrumpKillsAmerica #RepublicansDidThis #NoRepublicansEverAgain #USPol

This dude @rokhanna.bsky.social is out here making sense

Hope is not a promise. It is not a guarantee of success. It is the courage to act in the face of uncertainty. And right now, in this fragile moment for our democracy, it is the most important responsibility we share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Thank you, U2. I highly recommend this new YouTube video from U2. Turn it up!

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

The refund question is so so messy my god. But it’s an enormous political opportunity for the opposition party.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

ships in the night: Gorsuch says major Qs doctrine checks exexutive overreach, precise opposite of Kagan: "without doctrines like major questions, our system of separated powers and checks-and-balances threatens to give way to the continual and permanent accretion of power in the hands of one man."

Vali Nasr: Agreeing to Trump's demands would make regime change more probable. The US is seeking full disarmament of Iran without removing the circumstances the country faces: severe economic pressure and the constant threat of war. Iran fears it would face either a quick collapse or a slow death.

We had to make sure this is real. This is real. www.richlandsource.com/2026/02/18/b...

1/2 🧵Here's one thing I see happening. For millions of Americans...fear of Donald Trump is rapidly fading. People understand what actions he can't take against them..BUT..where fear used to reside...there's now a steely resolve. An indestructible sense of, "F*ck you, Motherf*cker! Democracy..."

#ThanksObama We still want the rest of the Epstein files though

DJT is ready to put an expensive war with Iran on the radar while cutting benefits for the American people. He has filed bankruptcy 4 times, and now he's adding our country's economy to the ash heap. We want a divorce from this miscreant. American soldiers will die, Congress must act.

This entire thing is a complete clown show. Everyone in attendance should feel like a fool.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?
