Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents."

Buttigieg: "About $1k is what his tariffs cost the average American household last year. And maybe to him and his billionaire allies, the kinds of people who got most of his tax cuts, that's not a lot of money. But of course to most Americans, $1k is a lot of money. You can't be tricked about that."

Rep. Summer Lee with the Working People's SOTU response: "Look at Mayor Mamdani, who took on Andrew Cuomo and his corporate backers and won ... he proved that when you show up, when you speak clearly about how to meet people's basic needs, the people respond."

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Oversight Democrats have been investigating the handling of serious allegations by a survivor against Donald Trump when she was a minor. We have now confirmed that some of the documents related to this survivor appear to be missing from the files. Here’s what we know ⬇️

NEW: Have you missed the scandals at Trump's Labor Department? The allegations that the labor secretary was workday drinking and trysting with a subordinate on the taxpayer's dime? And the slashing of worker protections? My OUR LAND newsletter has you covered. link.motherjones.com/public/44291...

As Trump's numbers sink like a stone, he grows ever more desperate to bury the secrets buried in the Epstein File. The survivors plan to make sure the truth is known and justice is done.

Moms For Liberty named RJ May the South Carolina Legislator of the Year for 2023 for his efforts to protect children from the evils of the LGBTQ community. He was just sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison followed by 30 years of supervised probation for distributing child pornography.

Fascinating that he can bruise so easily knocking his hand, but his ear can be clipped by a rifle round and grow back with no damage...

NEW: President Donald Trump repeated false claims that Democrats “cheated” in the last election and escalated his push for national anti-voting policies, including a ban on mail-in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There’s more bad news for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in the Epstein files: Previously unreported documents show he hasn’t been accurate—or, perhaps, honest—about the extent of his business ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

How many disappeared without a trace from there?

You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

For all the people who are leaving MAGA saying “we didn’t know it would be this bad, he deceived us.” Um no he didn’t, he was pretty fucking clear. You just didn’t care until it affected you.

Stop saying Trump wants to "nationalize elections." What he said was: "We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many—15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.” "Take over the voting" and "nationalizing voting" is very different from the more sanitized language.

CARLSON: “Netanyahu’s family is from Poland. He doesn’t practice Judaism, there’s no evidence his ancestors EVER lived here [Israel], they never spoke the language. On what basis does he have a right to be here?” HUCKABEE: “I’m totally unable to process what you’re saying.”

Yes we all must do this.

A legitimate query

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Anyone else remember the debate in the media about whether it was appropriate to declare a constitutional crisis? Funny how the press stopped asking that question once it became abundantly clear that we were in one.

So to be clear, it was fine for a noted racist and homophonic Christian nationalist (Charlie Kirk) to lie in state, but not a civil rights icon. Is that what he’s saying?

"The tariffs were unlawful when imposed," says Rick Woldenberg. "The government took money from us they had no right to take. And just like paying too much in taxes, they have to give it back with interest." https://to.pbs.org/40lbSRF

The Department of Justice was reportedly caught deleting evidence that sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was in possession of three interviews that could possibly be used as blackmail over President Donald Trump and were not released to the general public.

The administration had essentially "pre-spent" the tariff revenue to fund the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) tax cuts. By removing roughly $1.4 trillion in revenue, the government is now funding those tax cuts with pure debt.

The Vatican flatly rejected a U.S. invitation to join the Trump-led "Board of Peace" for Gaza. The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem previously described the project as "a colonialist operation" focused on "others deciding for the Palestinians.” mondoweiss.net/2026/02/pope... #Palestine #Israel

While he was detained at Dilley for over four months, 13-year-old Gustavo Santiago said he felt as if he would “never get out.” “I just ask that you don’t forget about us,” he told ProPublica in a video call.

To Republicans who claimed it was a Democrat conspiracy to hide Biden's lack of mental acuity, what say you about your whacky president who takes mid-meeting naps? What are you hiding?

This dude @rokhanna.bsky.social is out here making sense

Rep Hank Johnson: “By striking down Trump's tariffs, SCOTUS has finally found some backbone. Kavanaugh's dissent warns the decision will cause a "mess" Too bad he doesn't see that this Court's pro-Trump rulings already made a huge "mess" — we must clean house in November so the cleanup can begin”

Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."

Fuck FIFA

"As ICE Buys Up Warehouses, Even Some Trump Voters Say No," "Minnesota schools and students struggle with fallout of immigration crackdown," "Officials Violated Court Orders on Immigration in New Jersey, Justice Dept. Tells Judge," and more must-read #immigration news.

Well, look at that… Apparently it is possible to arrest rich old dudes for breaking the law and raping children. Pam Bondi better hide today because she’s going to get hit with a lot of questions.
