Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office. This is looting.

Among the lawyers who signed up to file habeas petitions for their fellow Minnesotans were “corporate litigators, divorce lawyers, estate planners and criminal defense attorneys who are leveraging their bar admission to mount an unprecedented defense of immigrants” against a mass caging campaign.

Mind-boggling that the same day South Korea's former leader is sentenced to life in prison for leading an insurrection —and the same day British police arrest a prominent royal over allegations of sick Epstein predation —our own insurrectionist-leading predator is thus mocking the rule of law:

Seems like they kinda just did. Where are we??

The United States has paid about $160 million of the more than $4 billion it owes to the UN, a United Nations spokesperson said as President Trump hosted the first meeting of his ‘Board of Peace’ initiative that experts say could undermine the United Nations reut.rs/3MSGGWU

Spending our tax dollars for his slush fund to build in a different country while unhoused people suffer, Americans are hungry, and people are losing health care doesn’t sound very “America First”.

Voting rights groups sued to block an Ohio law that could purge eligible citizens, especially naturalized ones, from the rolls before elections. Advocates say the system the measure relies on is built on outdated and error-prone data — and allows the state to remove voters without any warning.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

Stalin did it first.

Today former Prince Andrew was arrested for crimes associated with Epstein. The first royal arrested since the English Civil War in 1647. And yet, here in the United States, President and DOJ are engaged in a cover-up, refusing to investigate crimes buried for decades. It’s time to prosecute!

DOJ Scrubs Record of Interviews With Trump Accuser From Epstein Files newrepublic.com/post/206765/...

I just wanna let everyone know that the reason that the DOJ under Biden didn’t always do what we wanted was because it wasn’t an arm of the White House. It is supposed to be an independent entity. I hope the next time that it is, you remember today, when Trump put his face on the building.

Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride. We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory — and I lived through the Nixon years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Trump’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management, former NM Rep. Steve Pearce (R), supports expanded drilling/mining on federal lands, curbing conservation protections, a climate-change denier, thinks the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, co-sponsored bills undermining the Antiquities Act.🌎

And again, a frontal assault by the federal government on MN and all Americans. 🌏 “There’s never been a president with zero interest in protecting the natural world until Donald Trump,” said presidential historian Douglas Brinkley.

Signs of spring in parts of the country mean you may soon be seeing wildlife babies. Some things you can do to help: * Pause major yard work until nesting season has passed. * Check for active nests before trimming trees or shrubs (nests may be tiny). * Supervise pets outdoors.

= Consumers lose: Trump claims that vehicles will be cheaper, but you'll pay more for gas + possible health impacts. = Vehicle mfrs lose: Outside the US, the push is for EVs, leaving US automakers at a disadvantage if they abandon that market. More: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/c... (gift). 🌎

With the repeal of the "endangerment finding," the US is among the few countries in the world with essentially no emissions standards for vehicles. + Last year, Trump weakened fuel economy standards to largely irrelevant levels. + Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gases in the US.

Season results from the efforts of participating shipping lines. Over the VSR Season, from May 1, 2025 to January 15, 2026, 787 participating vessels traveled over 481,000 nautical miles at whale-safer speeds of 10 knots or less. gcaptain.com/blue-whales-... 🦑 🧪 🌍️

Bison are one of the few native animals that aren't allowed to roam free. To restore their populations and ecological balance, the simplest solution might just be letting them return to the places they've called home for millennia. Here's how tribal-led efforts are starting this process. 🌎
