Taxpayers funded and continue to fund Leon Black as Apollo makes $billions from over 35 State Pensions in secret no-bid contracts. commonsense401kproject.com/2026/02/05/t...

New in PN: Manosphere podcasters have second thoughts "Listening to the Stand-Up Podcast Bros puzzle aloud at what they wrought is an abject lesson in the perils of political media in the influencer era."

Trump’s policies have created an affordability crisis, and the growing deficit and humongous public debt are now bringing the country close to a tipping point.

Wonderful episode with Mystery AI Hype Theater, with @naomiaklein.bsky.social as guest. Definitely making me want to watch Dr. Strangelove again! The MAGA lunatics in the WH doing a precise copy of Merkin Muffley and his War room.

How many more polls required before Dems get the message… Let’s hope 0, nada, zip, zilch!

fight/don’t fight remains the biggest divide in the Dem party and the data points in only one direction: fight “we aren’t the other guys” can be a winning message when the other guys are in charge, but - as Labour is finding out - it sure doesn’t keep your voters engaged after you win

In the #Epistein corruption-Newly released files show that while private equity giant Apollo Global Management was milking companies dry, founder Leon Black was spending millions on art and parties.

The Hague, The Hague, The Hague it’s a song in my head almost always these days. We made a dreadful mistake back in 1865ish letting the traitors back in the Union.

“The menagerie at the Department of Health and Human Services keeps getting stranger,” writes the WSJ Edit Page, in this scathing column about the crank who could become our next surgeon general. www.wsj.com/opinion/case...

These are the words and actions our next leader needs to live by. We can’t keep putting people in office who either don’t care or know how to lead. The entire government is lost.

Border Patrol dump blind refugee 5 miles away from home—he was found dead on the street. Officers dropped him off in front of a donut shop—didn't notify his lawyer or family he was even released. When reported missing—local police said he was in ICE custody & stopped looking for him. Buffalo, NY

Why will Trump & Republicans get their asses handed to them in November? This. This right here is why Trump & Republicans will get their asses handed to them in November.👇

20-year-old Mubashir Hussen, was another detained citizen who attended as Rep. Omar’s guest. The Somali-American man was filmed in December being detained by immigration agents, despite protesting repeatedly that he was a citizen. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

Aliya Rahman attended Trump's State of the Union address as a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar. She was arrested and ejected from the gallery for simply "standing up" in protest.

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

Trump said that tariffs may replace the income tax. That’s ridiculous. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

Trump continues to claim that other countries pay tariffs. A recent study found that nearly all of his tariffs are being paid by Americans. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

“.. a stock selloff that has wiped out almost 90% of the firm’s market value since the September high as the broader Trump digital-asset trade misfires.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“Intercepted phone calls and messages from senior Russians ridiculing Trump have been shared by the British with the Americans. ‘We have continually shown them intelligence that shows the Russians are lying,’ a senior security source revealed.

WTAF? This is inhumane. Here is the HHS press release announcing the nationwide moratorium for durable medical equipment under Medicare: www.hhs.gov/press-room/t...

An incredible fall from grace from the guy who is basically the founder of modern cert. practices. Gambling. It's not a good idea.

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

*raises hand* who's taking the ubers and where are they going

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Meanwhile Nick Shirley, the dipshit MAGA influencer who started this whole racist panic about fraud at Somali-run daycares, is saying “EXPOSE IT ALL” in response to a deeply antisemitic video about ”New Jersey’s Jewish Invasion”

BREAKING on MS NOW: The FBI has fired at least 7 FBI agents and support staff as a result of their role in Trump's classified documents. The people fired are said to have participated in some way in pulling phone records of Patel and Susie Wiles during that investigation.

watching a guy with 8.8M subscribers put out this propaganda: there's a transnational far-right power grab and you're not ready for it

News orgs reporting that Vance is stopping Medicaid payments to Minnesota as part of an effort to “combat fraud” are flat-out lying to their readers/viewers. It’s retribution. At least the NYT framed it as the “latest effort by the federal government to pull funding from Democratic-led states”.

If the fascist can declare war on one state-he can on yours too. #ICE is still in Minnesota

Excellent analysis. And, one of my favorite analogies describing this gobbledegook.

This should be the biggest scandal in American history?

The NYT just confirmed the missing Epstein files and is treating this like a blockbuster story: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Two crucial points that @leahlitman.bsky.social discusses here: 1) Rep James Comer could do what Rep Robert Garcia did and go look at the logs to confirm the missing files himself. 2) If Dems win the House, they can subpoena these specific files in 2027. newrepublic.com/article/2070...

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up." If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2070...

The billionaire owners previously funded ads warning of an immigrant “invasion.”

"This speech may well be remembered as the 1st State of the Union of a failing US, 1st of an authoritarian US, 1st of an internationally isolated US, 1st of a US that was ceding global leadership to China, 1st in which the US gov't has been an active enemy of the interests of the American people."

Last year, the dangerous pattern of neglect and abuse at ICE detention facilities resulted in a record number of deaths. This can't go on. Our members of Congress must act now.

This is to remind people that Trump lied when he told us this billion dollar operation “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program when in fact we just learned (from Trump’s Iran envoy!) it did nothing and Iran is now a week away from having a bomb.

He is saying what Mike Johnson believes but won’t say. The Republican majority is more important to them than disavowing a sexual predator boss causing the suicide of staffer.

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age. It's a new Golden Age for grifting. [@brennancenter.org]

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...
