Illinois has eliminated its bill backlog and debts. Illinois has enshrined reproductive rights. Illinois has reaffirmed labor rights. Illinois has rebuilt its infrastructure. Illinois has prioritized our children’s education. Illinois has invested in our future — with more to come.

GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔 Nothing to see here, folks! We are being looted so hard by these crooks

Condolences to decent Minnesotans on the existence of loser shit stain Republicans festering up your state.

The only American President worth celebrating this President's Day is Franklin D Roosevelt who TAXED THE RICH en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue...

This is… well… f%ked.

It's still a cover-up Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

Good time to remind everyone that NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, a right-wing economist, has made it a personal goal to make sure lockdowns can never return. Because in his mind, there is nothing that could ever justify shutting down the economy. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.

This, and nested, and rubella will be right behind, which was the single greatest cause of miscarriages, stillbirths, and severe fetal developmental disorders, including congenital deaf and/or blindness, cardiac abnormalities ranging from moderate to severe, severe cognitive disabilities, and more.

The @bostonglobe.com opinion page this morning is headlined by white supremacist Richard Hanania, whose racist views have been smoothed over in recent months by centrists

Shocking no one, Elon Musk's younger brother is also shady and gross af.

Yikes @reuters.com. It's not "Democrats say" it is FACTS AND MATH AND REALITY that say it. Provable FACTS show that Felon's deportations deals cost taxpayers millions. It's not tricky.

Be ready.

REPUBLICANS HAVE REFUSED TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION @washingtonpost.com

The Trump administration's social media repurposes language and cultural references with connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements. It's content that experts say is instantly recognizable to those who are in the white supremacist know, but can be largely invisible to everyone else.

US used Anthropic's Claude during the Venezuela raid, WSJ reports reut.rs/4rLsGNp

Thankfully, Kristi Noem got her blanket back.

Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein. Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.

Lemon’s lawyers coming out throwing haymakers in the first round.

Whether it’s Barack Obama, putting Dijon mustard on a hotdog or RFK Jr. snorting cocaine off a toilet seat, both men made some curious decisions.

Another reason to oppose Trump’s attempt to take over elections through the SAVE Act.

Suck it American media. 😀

The lying "federal agents" have not been identified but at least we're getting somewhere.

LOLosers

NEW: Workers at the Social Security Administration have been told to share information about in-person appointments with ICE agents, WIRED has learned, in a move that goes against decades of precedent and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

Publishing our conversation soon on thehandbasket.co. It's really good.

Well well well

In a 218-213 vote, the House passed a new, more aggressive version of the SAVE Act. The measure’s documentary proof of citizenship requirements to vote would particularly burden the roughly 69 million married women who took their husband’s name — a group that leans to the right.

do you think they were twirling their moustache while writing that memo?

Billionaires for Wealthcare (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trillionaires for Trump) landed in San Francisco by limo, yacht and private jet to thank the subservient little tech bros for holding the March for Billionaires

Public health should never be politicized — and the courts agreed tonight. Donald Trump's attack on Illinoisans was just blocked by a temporary restraining order. We will continue to check his abuses of power and win against this President.

"Previous estimates showed the US economy generated 584,000 jobs in 2025, the first year of Trump’s second term, which was deeply discouraging. Now, the picture is far worse: The newly revised, final data shows that the U.S. economy actually added only 181,000 jobs..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Why is ICE seizing people’s phones and documents? minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/12/w...

One of the best things that happened in Minnesota is when Ron Johnson - who was born in Mankato MN, attended Edina High School and the University of MN - moved to Wisconsin.

Donald Trump is bragging that he's “very proud” of this economy. But his first year in office was marked by the weakest job growth in more than a decade outside of Covid. Trump needs to stop denying reality and start fixing the economic pain he's caused.

I'm adding all these words to my mute list.

If Congress is listening, ICE WILL HAVE NO GODDAMN MASKS It's not tricky. Betting most of the ICE ghouls were the type that refused to wear masks during covid. #nomasks

Kyle Cheney: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

NEW @ms.now: The lawyer representing the woman who was shot 5x by a Border Patrol agent in Chicago in Oct says the agent is the subject of a criminal investigation by the US Attorneys Office. This would be a remarkable shift in a case that started w/ the gov’t trying to prosecute the woman he shot ⬇️

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation." Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*) The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

Avoid the moron GOP voters in Missouri's 8th congressional district. They are traitors to America. They are why we can't have nice things.

There is no "if it happened". It happened as per the live camera shots shown of the paper with Jayapal's search history in Bondi's hands.

Big deal. Class act and could not take the idiot minions like Pam Bondi and the bond they put her in via their overt corruption www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The DOJ can't fire him though. Might want to point that out @politico.com

‼️Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych is barred from racing in the 2026 Winter Games because he wanted to wear a “helmet of memory” in honor of Ukraine’s war dead. He calls out the International Olympic Committee for doing Russia’s propaganda for them www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

The🏅goes to this man.

(AXIOS) - President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls. @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/02/12/t...

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Sadly, we'll probably never know if the CBP moron was a Jan 6th insurrectionist or one of those Texan Hispanic "Republicans" (the same type that murdered Alex Pretti) or both.
