Congress: he can’t go to war without us!!! I mean… technically, you’re right. Maybe do something about it other than a strongly worded letter.

Memo to Kathy Hochul and Gavin Newsom: Why taxing the rich makes enormous sense https://robertreich.substack.com/p/memo-to-kathy-hochul-and-gavin-newsom

Three points: 1️⃣If you can noodle around on timing and there's no urgency, it's a war of choice. 2️⃣Wars of choice require Congressional approval. Read the Constitution. 3️⃣If there's no vote, and ANY troops are injured or killed, the blood is on Trump and GOP hands, 100%.

We completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. It’s gone. Fake news will never admit this. So anyway, we have to send hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equipment to the Middle East and have a major war to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

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.

Ashley Moody was appointed to be an automatic “yes” vote for Trump. No wonder she refuses to be a much needed check on Donald Trump abuse of power. I’ll be that check on the chaos and corruption that is running rampant in this administration.

Absolutely amazing!

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

Thinking of the victims of this tragic avalanche near Lake Tahoe. My heart is with their families and loved ones during this terrible time. Thank you to the brave first responders who selflessly jumped into action and worked through the night to rescue survivors.

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

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.

This is what I’ve been talking about for weeks now. There’s still a potential (read: very very small) for an off-ramp, but they aren’t sending all this hardware into the region for nothing. www.axios.com/2026/02/18/i...

Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing everyone health, happiness, and prosperity in the year ahead. May this new year bring fresh beginnings, renewed hope, and success to you and your loved ones.

Reminder that Paramount Skydance needs approval from Trump's minions to buy Warner Bros. Yesterday, its subsidiary CBS banned Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with TX Democrat James Talarico. Larry Ellison is sucking up to Trump by turning his media empire into MAGA propaganda.

What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Reminder: 263 days until Midterms (Nov 3, 2026). GOP truths: - Voted Against: veterans, teachers, disabled, elderly, women, minorities, & immigrants - Voted FOR: Rich Tax cuts, protect pedophiles - Trump: ICE MURDERS, City invasions, tariffs, Bribes/Emoluments, boat strikes, Venezuela Seized

Senators have the constitutional authority to remove Kristi Noem any time they wish Voters have the constitutional authority to remove their Senators this November

Trump’s FCC pressured CBS into not airing Stephen Colbert’s interview of James Talarico. Here it is on YouTube. Worth watching. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

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.

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?...

Moved and saddened by the passing of Reverend Jackson, who kept hope alive for working-class economics, interracial progressive organizing and peace for many decades. Condolences to Rep. Jonathan Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Jr. and the whole family.

here's today's post: "CBS is still fucking with Stephen Colbert" — now they’re censoring interviews with Democrats. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

ONCE AGAIN THE EVIL SHITWITS AT CBS FOLDED LIKE A PACK OF CARDS TO AN EDICT FROM THE FCC. CBS CAN FUCK THEMSELVES UNTIL THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE. STEPHEN COLBERT IS A HERO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY VERY ANGRY POST IN WHICH I RIP CBS INFINITY NEW ONES. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4aTs5Um

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are: Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job. Thanks

It's why I can't read the NT, Jesus never shuts the fuck up about the Dow.

“If anyone causes one of these little ones - those who believe in me - to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea - unless the Dow is doing well that week” Matthew 18:6

If we have free and fair midterm elections, Democrats will likely regain majorities in both the House and Senate. Here’s a sampling of what would happen then: - Impeachments: Of Trump and some in his cabinet, especially Bondi, Patel, Vought and Noem. Pick any multitude of their crimes. …

Incompetent lawyers always blame the judge. That tactic is so stupid that it further illustrates the incompetence. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Trump and his enablers in the Republican Congress are slowing climate progress. The result will be real damage and loss of life from coastal inundation from rising sea levels, intensifying storms, more destructive wildfires and searing heat waves. But it won’t put a stop to global climate action.

Trump’s NOAA is going to “deregulate” rule for protecting Right Whales—meaning speed limits for vessels despite fact that vessel strikes are major causes of death of them!

According to NOAA, the whale was confirmed to be a three-year-old female and the 2023 calf of right whale “Porcia.” It is the 43rd death recorded in an ongoing "Unusual Mortality Event" for the critically endangered species.

Ask not what happens to the economy if billionaires are held accountable for their crimes. Ask what happens next if they are not.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Save the date the next No Kings protest is on 3/28!

@barackobama.bsky.social: "Bad Bunny's halftime show... This is what a community is. People who did not speak Spanish and have never been to Puerto Rico saw that elderly woman serving a drink and the kids dancing with their grandmas... There's room for everybody here. That I think is where we win."

@barackobama.bsky.social: "I'm term limited out. And by the way, I believe in the Constitution. And also I believe in my marriage and Michelle would divorce me even if I could run again."

At least two dozen U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors have been charged with crimes since 2020 and the wrongdoing includes patterns of violence, sexual abuse and corruption, a review by The Associated Press found.

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social Dear Jeff, I am so sad to hear you've lost your wife. May her loving spirit support you during the shock & grief you must be feeling now.

Bondi's passive/aggressive displays & distraction from the subject she's being asked to explain diminish her & her position as US Attorney General. #ImpeachBondi

Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

Please send this jaw-dropping exchange to every MAGA who still thinks the DOJ isn’t blatantly protecting Trump and his cabal of wealthy pedophiles.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Trump's attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which have included gutting its workforce and dropping enforcement actions, have cost consumers nearly $20B in the last year alone. It's a new golden age for corporate crooks. And Trump is happily letting them rip us off.
