Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.

She's truly a horrid human.

What’s Blanche’s point when he suggests that if someone’s name appears somewhere in the files, we shouldn’t be upset if it’s redacted elsewhere? The context in which the name appears is important, yes?

Representing the American people in the Senate is an honor. Anyone who was convicted of massive fraud against the United States government should be removed from that office.

This affidavit was much weaker than I suspected. No allegations of intent. No allegations of election theft. No allegations of foreign interference. No allegations that the statute of limitations doesn't apply. At worst, it alleges human error, during a pandemic, that didn't affect the outcome.

i'm a fan of the rhetorical one-two of "we're coming after you in this life and in the next"

The Oceti Sakowin (Dakota and Lakota people) have just established a tipi camp at Mni Owe Sni/Coldwater Spring, directly across from the Whipple Building.

Republicans are desperately and corruptly trying to cling to power by interfering with the midterm elections. Anti-voter bills, like the MEGA Act and SAVE Act, make that abundantly clear. Thank you @morelle.house.gov for your leadership and standing up for our democracy.

Congressman wants to round up and deport people who liked Bad Bunny’s show. This is the Republican Party.

Rep. Kennedy: Will you commit to immediately unmasking every ICE agent and requiring them to wear standard uniforms with identifiable badges? ICE Chief Lyons: No. Rep. Kennedy: Your answer is completely unacceptable.

I am trying to understand the hate that Meghan Kelly exudes with every thing she says. She is out of control. But then, she’s not. She knows hate sells. However, hate only survives with hypocrisy and lies. She is a living example.

This guy is human garbage.

It is going to be a great day for America and the Constitution when Mike Johnson is no longer Speaker.

MASSIVE BREAKING: Ro Khanna just named 6 Men who were redacted from the Epstein Files. Here they are and here is the video of Him reading them on the House floor moments ago. Please share the names! krassencast.com/p/breaking-r...

The Justice Department is running out of lawyers who are willing to do Trump's fascism

How can anyone take this country seriously Stop electing monsters…

"ICE has raced detainees across state lines in ways judges say are designed to thwart legal proceedings...; [held] people for days or weeks after judges have ordered them released...; ignored other arms of the fed govt trying to ensure compliance...; given judges bad or incomplete information."

JUDGE JOHNSTON: “Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under the Government’s interpretation of the law, American citizens could be subject to the same .. This Court will not allow such an unraveling of the Constitution.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What a pathetic excuse for a party.

“No deportation officer has ever been killed in a hostile action on America’s streets.” “And yet in city after city, day after day, ICE officers and CBP agents charge into American cities dressed as if they’re assaulting Fallujah or elite special forces charging into a Taliban stronghold.”

SWALWELL: Will you apologize to the family of Renee Good for being called a domestic terrorist by the president and his leadership? LYONS: No sir SWALWELL: Is she a domestic terrorist? LYONS: I'm not going to comment on an active investigation

WATCH: “Feeding kids should not be political.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social and the Progressive Caucus highlight @GovBillLee letting kids go hungry in most TN areas (including MEMPHIS & NASHVILLE) by rejecting $84 MILLION in federal💰only to spend more state money to feed fewer kids.

Garbarino: "It is a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might be personally offensive to the president or vice president."

This is true, and even if we get rid of Trump, we still have to reckon with the fact that a substantial proportion of US economic and political elites were *eager* to jump on the fascism train. They will still be the same people when Trump is gone.

"no deportation officer has been murdered in the line of duty since the creation of ICE after 9/11." Excellent fact check from @vermontgmg.bsky.social that ought to be required reading for reporters & pundits alike as MAGA amps up 'it's actually it's ICE agents that are in danger' lies.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

He’s a liar

Rep. Magaziner: “Kristi Noem is completely unfit and should be removed from office.”

remember what side of the public opinion these MOCs are choosing, too www.gelliottmorris.com/p/what-ameri...

These people have voted for Trump three times. THREE. And he still has like a 38% approval rating. Give up. Stop trying to change their minds and focus on people who actually want to make this country better

Bill Madden: "Recently, I've received four texts from former friends apologizing to me. As Lawrence O'Donnell is now talking about, people are finally recognizing that Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster. As a nation, we are getting increasingly closer to admitting the obvious: Trump is a MONSTER."

⚡️Pope Leo sends 80 generators, thousands of medical supplies to Ukraine. Pope Leo XIV has sent 80 electric generators and thousands of medical and food supplies to Ukraine to help civilians cope with freezing winter temperatures and constant attacks, the Vatican announced on Feb. 9.

Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

In my lifetime, I never thought I'd see another vice president as unlikable and repulsive as Dick Cheney. I was wrong. JD Vance will NEVER be elected president. 😳👇

Donald Trump is constantly talking about election rigging (he’s way off base btw), but nationalizing elections instead of keeping our fragmented system would actually make them easier to hack and manipulate.

“.. He said he had no interactions with Epstein after 2005, yet we now know they were in business together,” Garcia said. “Lutnick must resign or be fired.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/2264...

Rep. Khanna: “I believe that Lutnick at the very least needs to be brought before Congress. I think, based on the evidence, he should be out of the cabinet.”

Imagine that. Better late than never

Breaking MS NOW: Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise. Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

Yep. And that’s not all. A corrupt $300M contract for Puerto Rico’s grid was mysteriously awarded to Ryan Zinke in 2017 after Hurricane Maria.

In January, Trump canceled $450 million for grid resilience programs in Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans are American citizens who deserve reliable infrastructure, clean energy, and a federal government that actually cares about them. Full stop. Thank you Bad Bunny for highlighting this important issue!

Dems should start asking all the Republicans if they will sign a pledge to vote to impeach and remove Trump from office if he pardons or commutes Maxwell.

We all know big corporations have too much influence in Washington. I've never taken a dime of corporate PAC money because Arizonans need to know their elected leaders are working for them. We need to put people first and get corporate money out of politics.

OPINION: It’s become commonplace in London to say the scandal surrounding former ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson is the worst since the 1963 Profumo affair.
