"Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous—whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light....Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way....And then I see the disinfectant...by injection inside or almost a cleaning."

@repjackkimble.bsky.social Representative Kimble, how are you not using Trumps post about the Pope being weak on crime to promote the hell out of (pun intended) Detective Jesus?!? Missing a golden opportunity here.

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

Vance is a charmless freak who nobody likes. He’s not some fucking mastermind waiting in the wings who will rise to power and be more terrible than any of us can imagine. I don’t want him to be president but Trump is the glue and Trump needs to go before anything else.

pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants

people split hairs about the genocide classification all the time, but Trump unambiguously wrote down his intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national group, and then he broadcast it out

The main frustration is that the energy Dems take to pretty much anything does not match the absolute terror the Dem base lives in every day and the Dem base is beyond desperate for someone to match their emotions and urgency, and we frankly never see it in the supposed interests of decorum

Forcing the Artemis crew to speak with Donald Trump was part of a NASA training exercise to prepare future astronauts for encounters with less intelligent life forms.

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life. Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

A single long fixed term for Supreme Court justices, mandatory retirement age (but not term limits) for Congress, term limits plus a mandatory retirement age (to complement the minimum age) for president. Plus a ban on insurrectionists in any of these offices.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Punishing Americans to own the libs is how Republicans “govern.”

When Trump dies, NOTHING you post will be too inappropriate.

Guy just found liable for making false statements to drive down Twitter stock price says another thing we'll credulously report

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find. Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Reminder: this guy couldn’t get clearance in Trump 1 and we still don’t know why. He already took $3b from the Saudis shortly after Trump left office. He has no official government job but is being allowed to act as an “envoy,” negotiating and speaking for the United States.

Sports bans aren't the destination, they're the foundation. Once you have a law that codifies trans girls as "male" for purposes of athletic competition, you have a precedent. And that precedent gets cited in the next case. And the one after that. Bathrooms. Passports. Employment.

Also, it should go without saying that the sports bans aren't really about sports. They're about getting "transgender girls are male" written into the text of a law so that the next time someone sues over bathroom access, or passport accuracy, or employment discrimination, there's a statute ...

Trump is today telling every member of the US military that it is ok with him if Russia helps Iran kill them--every one. Once again Americans, Trump looks at US military personnel as suckers and losers that he can sacrifice for his own glory and profit. This is who leads

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go. Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

Counterpoint: Dems have won, I think, every special election since Trump took office and candidates saying Abolish ICE and trans rights are human rights are winning at the ballot box, so, WSJ, why don't you take your flunky and dangle

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act. The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Whatever you think of Spanberger - and I have some policy based reservations - Republicans have no idea how to handle a Democrat who doesn’t give a shit about their feelings. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

My first piece for Bad Faith Media is pretty epic, if I do say so. badfaithmedia.org/anti-christ-...

A German politician and Member of the European Parliament  says she grew up free because US soldiers defeated German fascism. Now she says it “breaks my heart” to watch the US itself drift toward authoritarianism. The warning from Germany could not be more stark. #holdfast

She speaks for millions of shocked Europeans - listen to powerful words of support from German Green Party EU Parliament member Terry Reintke.

how are those mRNA vaccines coming btw

The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

Wow.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

They are just relentlessly evil people

Amalia, 18 months, "nearly died" at Dilley migrant family jail, a lawyer for her family said in a statement to @people.com: people.com/toddler-hosp...

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….

“I followed the rules. I’ve done great in the community. I’ve never abused any of the conditions of the stay or of my supervision…I’m so scared, I cannot go back." ICE brutally detained a minister in Vermont. Now, the Trump administration wants to send him back to Uganda, where he was tortured.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

This should be a bigger story. A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.

Next time Kaitlyn Collins gets to question Trump, she should ask, "How many children have you raped?" and then smile.
