The Democrats are the only party committed to trying to get the government to do the things the government is supposed to do.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. We must not fund ICE. The Constitution gave Congress the power of the purse. Congress must use that power aggressively and fearlessly if our country is to survive.

Trump in Epstein Files "a Million Times" & Lutnick Admits Lunch with Epstein youtu.be/4Y9NnzkxamQ

Breaking news: A federal grand jury refused the Justice Department’s attempts to indict six Democratic lawmakers over their comments to military service members — the latest rebuke of the Trump administration’s push to prosecute the president’s foes.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

The Fulton County search warrant affidavit has been unsealed by a federal judge. Read about what’s in it, and more importantly, what’s not. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Howard Lutnick lied about his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, but that won’t cause Trump to fire him. On Team Trump, lying is considered a coveted skill and an act of solidarity.

Breaking MS NOW: In a major defeat for Mike Johnson, 3 House Republicans bucked their leaders to block legislation that would have restricted Congress' ability to strike down Trump’s tariffs. The final tally was 214-217, with 3 Republicans joining Democrats in opposition.

Rep. Jamie Raskin tells Axios that when he searched Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files, it came up "more than a million times." www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

There were 3 legislative specials today, all very uncompetitive seats. Final results? Per @the-downballot.com: —Virginia HD05: Dems hold by 64 in a Harris +60 seat —Virginia SD39: Dems hold by 66 in a Harris +56 seat —Oklahoma HD35: GOP holds by 28 in a Trump +58 district

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms. I recently explained three things states can do and four things Congress should insist on in order to protect the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

NEW: The unsealing of the FBI’s search warrant affidavit for its raid of a Fulton County, Georgia, election facility prompted swift condemnation from voting rights advocates, election experts and former federal officials. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: The Trump admin just tried and *failed* to secure an indictment in connection with that video featuring Democratic lawmakers urging military members not to comply with unlawful orders.

The Trump admin has stopped flying a rainbow flag at the Stonewall National Monument. apnews.com/article/ston...

Say what you will about the Clintons, but they ain’t dumb: Comer may have picked the wrong fight. My latest for @cafedotcom.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

The numbers speak for themselves

While the billionaires kowtow and look the other way, actual patriots recognize their responsibility to speak out and assert right from wrong.

Flagging: Trump directed top U.S. spy agencies to share sensitive intelligence about the 2020 election with Kurt Olsen, who we just learned helped launched the FBI raid on Fulton County. Olsen is a 2020 election denier who tried to overturn the results of the election. tinyurl.com/3tyrd7xm

Blessed be the people who use their platform and prominence to stand up for people who have none.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

MS NOW: The FBI's criminal investigation into Fulton County's 2020 ballots originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen. Olsen was one of the Trump lawyers who worked on the efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Reading the Fulton County affidavit now, which seems to say more about “if” there was probable cause than establishing that there actually is. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

Yes, enough with the efforts to treat Trump like he’s pursuing legitimate policy objectives rather than feeding his whims and broken ego.

Rep. Ro Khanna just read on the House floor the names of the six 'wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted in the Epstein files: Leslie Wexner Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem Salvatore Nuara Zurab Mikeladze Leonic Leonov Nicola Caputo www.politico.com/live-updates...

Hilarious to watch the NYT try to spin this as a strategy of some sorts rather than the act of a delusional madman who just loves bombs and violence

Exactly.

No, WaPo, it is not "the latest flash point in the simmering tensions between the US and its northern neighbor." It's the latest petty and preposterous attack on Canada by our erratic, unhinged president. Can you at least give your readers a hint of the truth? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) Tuesday complied with a court order to publicly reveal the search warrant affidavit that initiated the FBI’s raid on an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, last month. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sure, MAGA boy. ICE is wearing masks because it's cold out. Got it. I'd say Republican politicians were insulting the intelligence of Fox's audience, but the audience keeps coming back, so it looks like Republican politicians have correctly sized them up as easy marks.

Karoline Leavitt doesn't rule out that Trump made this call about Epstein in 2006: "Look, it was a phone call that may or may not have happened in 2006. I don't know the answer to that question."

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Period.

Call lies lies. Call murder murder. Call fascism fascism. Name reality.

At this point every democrat should start calling the GOP pedophile protectors to their faces. In every meeting, in every interview, in every passing in the hall. Not Mr or Ms SoandSo, but, “hey pedophile protector.” Or, “The pedophile protector from the great state of X.”

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES. We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker. Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

If you're not feeling a little exhausted & occasionally overwhelmed, then you'e probably not paying attention. This is the regime's playbook--to overload the country w/ its onslaught of horrors, making it impossible to confront it all, aiming to exhaust us & break our resolve. They won't succeed.

NEW: As President Donald Trump and his closest allies continue demands for a federal “takeover” of elections, House Republicans are rushing to deliver this week, working on a pair of voter suppression measures. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Direct line in the NYT on Susan Collins' reelection bid: "Her frequent statements of concern and regret that follow many of President Trump’s actions have been mocked by her opponents because she has been a reliable vote for the Republican agenda during Mr. Trump’s presidencies."

I don’t get a chance for a hearty laugh very often these days, but @stephaniemiller.bsky.social sure got me. She quoted a response to Michelle Obama’s famous quote about going high: “Can we go low now?" You can check out our whole conversation here: www.americaamerica.news/p/can-we-go-...

Strong piece by Jamison Foser on the NY Times twisting polling on immigration to obscure the big picture: "Centering Republicans in this way, while making only passing mention of the disapproval of the public at large, treats Republicans as the only people who matters."

What the hell is this? I edited news stories about Washington politics for decades but somehow missed this alleged policy. It seems ridiculous that Congress should worry about its comments being "personally offensive" to people in a separate branch of government.

And here's today's NYT headline on an article about reform proposals that enjoy supermajority support but that are disliked by Mike Johnson. The article provides no polling about the proposals. MORE: www.findinggravity.net/the-new-york...

Here's the headline on a New York Times article about a poll that found 62 percent of Americans say ICE goes too far: MORE: www.findinggravity.net/the-new-york...

I just wrote about two recent NYT articles that create a misleading picture of public opinion by centering Republicans and suggesting ICE reform proposals are unpopular. www.findinggravity.net/the-new-york...

Read this excellent piece from @weissmann.substack.com www.justsecurity.org/131180/congr...

Note that Massachusetts is by far the bluest state in which a state agency has a contract with ICE: boltsmag.org/massachusett... That, of course, is up to the governor, not the U.S. Senators, but striking to see that while Ed Markey calls for abolishing ICE.

Rep. Eric Swalwell pressed acting ICE Director Todd Lyons on whether he would apologize for top Trump officials labeling Renee Good a 'domestic terrorist.' Lyons refused.

Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admits he visited Jeffrey Epstein's private island in 2012 during a family vacation — after Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to a state-level charge of soliciting a minor for prostitution, which required Epstein to register as a sex offender.

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump’s attempt to rig the House through mid-cycle redistricting is backfiring, with Democrats fighting back in court and potentially gaining seats instead of losing them. youtu.be/DNpQ87xObsU?...
