MAGA insiders suddenly embrace 'indispensable' energy they long derided as a 'parasite'

@katieporterca.bsky.social is a true fighter for the people who can't be bought by greedy corporate special interests. She refuses to take a dime of corporate PAC money to show working families that their needs will always take priority.

While most Democrats have opposed President Trump's decision to attack Iran, their responses reveal differences over Middle East policy and national security that loom over the party’s future. The crosscurrents date back more than two decades to the war in Iraq. nyti.ms/4kYDoxS

In Austin: 3 dead and 14 injured in mass shooting www.kxan.com/news/crime/p...

How the World Is Reacting to the Attack on Iran

The most probable result of the SAVE Act's passage:

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge — a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

The deployment of the military’s anti-drone laser weapon to tackle cartel drones had prompted the shutdown of airspace over El Paso, Texas, earlier this month.

Good people have had it with frauds and pretenders. They’re tired of traitors masquerading as patriots, of the treasonous forever waving the flag, of hateful people peddling a God of supposed love... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/good-peopl...

Breaking News: OpenAI said it would provide the Pentagon with A.I. tools, hours after technology by Anthropic, its competitor, was banned by President Trump.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

💫It’s that special time of year!! @bettybuckley.bsky.social is back at @joespub.bsky.social with Christian Jacob. Join them & the band-Tony Marino, Jordan Peters & Keita Ogawa-for an unforgettable night of songs, stories & pure Betty magic. Grab your seats before they’re gone at… publictheater.org

Every god damn day we wake up and another MAGA Republican (local, regional, state or national) is revealed to be involved in some sort of sexual scandal: from statutory rape and sniffing a child's panties to pressuring a staffer for nudes to entanglements with a pedo ring EVERY. DAMN. DAY.

Breaking: Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein He will also relinquish his University Professorship — Harvard's highest faculty distinction.

when the justice department reveals itself to be untrustworthy, then surprise! the courts no longer trust the justice department: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

What a clown. #FlipCongressBlue

Homeland Security wants Social Media sites to expose Anti-ICE Accounts!!!! The Government is trampling on our CIVIL LIBERTIES!!!!! #ICE #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinfiles www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life. Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social

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.

ICE tackles and arrests New Jersey father outside his home, leaving his 6-year-old first-grade daughter at home alone. She goes out looking for him. "I got my boots and changed my clothes. I wanted to find some help to find my dad..." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

The press has reported on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. It’s far bigger and even more important. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-tariff-decision

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.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year. Where’s our refund?

I'm pretty sure there's not

BREAKING: Former Prince Andrew arrested by UK authorities for alleged misconduct while in public office. I’ve got the details of the arrest, the crime, & why Andrew’s arrest could be the key to exposing more unseen-evidence about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, & others. youtu.be/Zk2FA5X167E

Do you ever think, "Why the hell isn't anyone getting arrested?" and feel like you want to spontaneously combust...or is it just me?

Four journalists, including three working for the Associated Press, were detained in Cameroon while reporting from a facility where migrants deported by the Trump administration are held, according to two lawyers.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE. A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

Fair comparison.

Virginia Giuffre’s Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. The reason is he is potentially implicated in these files. He may have to answer some questions himself.

The UK arresting Andrew. South Korea tossing their wannabe dictator in jail for life. John Roberts better be getting a really nice Edible Arrangement from the White House.

Another great sad cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social

Sure looks like the pedophile protector party has moved on from the Epstein files like their pedophile leader to come up with any way possible to suppress or even eliminate people voting in November. At least all of us now know where their ambitions lie. #inners

Shades of 1938 Germany

As @julieroginsky.bsky.social and @gretchencarlson0.bsky.social note, “Jeffrey Epstein’s most powerful ally was silence.” They join me for an in-depth discussion on NDAs, forced arbitration clauses, and other weapons to keep the truth from coming out when abuse occurs. youtu.be/rliDzyK_aLY?...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
