Incredibly explosive testimony…..please watch and share….

Just look at this rejection and repudiation of Trump. It's HUGE! The consent of the governed has been withdrawn, and rather than course correcting, our Mad King has decided to double down; do more harm to the country; throw us and the world into ever greater chaos. 9/ bsky.app/profile/poll...

@simonwdc.bsky.social Lays it out clearly in this thread

The State of the Union is that we've all had enough of Trump's bullshit. My latest 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-state-...

The new 15% global tariff: - Trump doubles down on his failed, wildly unpopular economic strategy - Invalidates every trade agreement negotiated over the past year - Will force every R in Congress to go on record while getting challenged in court - Super Mad Kingy 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/b...

Democrats can now credibly call for the repeal of the Trump tax cuts and the clawing back of the additional ICE funding as a way of offsetting the revenue loss from the ending of the illegal tariffs.

Staggering collapse of support for Trump on immigration, his signature issue, in new @washingtonpost.com poll. Well played Stephen Miller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In most democracies Trump’s reckless and wild abuse of power through his tariffs would cause the government to fall or the leader to be removed. The imposition of these tariffs against the will of Congress, the courts, our allies, and the American people. It’s clear grounds for removal.

👇

I talk to Republican business people all the time. They fully understand that tariffs are a giant tax increase. But they won't say it out loud because a) they fear Trump retribution or b) they don't want to anger MAGA peers/customers.

Trump is weak, and now we must become strong. Some thoughts on the battles ahead 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-is-w...

BREAKING: MeidasTouch and MoveOn are hosting the People’s State of the Union on the National Mall as Dems boycott Trump’s address. Hosted by Katie Phang and Joy Reid, it will feature lawmakers alongside federal workers, immigrants, and Americans impacted by Trump’s policies. Watch on our YouTube.

Winning elections is crucial this November, but it’s just the start. It’s about what we do with our power when we win that matters. Read my vision for the future of the Democratic Party.

Here is the Stephen Colbert video the FCC forced CBS not to air! Watch and share!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

The interview with Talarico has been posted to YouTube: youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

Incredible.

This is what CBS censored last night. Share it far and wide

Dear lord. AC cited the desire to spend more time with family as the reason. LMAO. Take that, Bari.....

"The people of Minnesota made it clear that if the regime wanted to come for their neighbors they would have to go through them." As @simonwdc.bsky.social notes Dems should move toward condemning mass deportations along with ICE violence (discusses my piece) www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/standing-u...

Read this thread please.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

So smart. The opportunity is there, we need to take it and run with it.

No. This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

TOM HOMAN ANNOUNCES ICE IS LEAVING MN! Y’all, before we move on to the next nightmare scenario in some other state, can we stop and acknowledge the sheer magnificence and power of Minnesota’s response? We are forever in your awe, MN.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Goddamn right it's been a profound defeat for Trump. Minnesota and Minneapolis was stronger than him and would not yield.

Trump is losing the war over ICE — both the culture war and the war in the streets. newrepublic.com/article/2062...

I'm so proud to be a Minnesotan. We showed the nation that neighbors standing together are stronger than Donald Trump and his masked agents. Cruelty will not win. Now we continue the work. For Renee and Alex. For Liam Ramos. For people everywhere who deserve liberty and peace.

2026 is turning out to be a rough year for Trump and Trumpism. He is much weaker today, and we are stronger. The courageous people of Minnesota are showing us the way. New video, written analysis 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-is-w...

In an extraordinary rebuke of Trump, and his signature economic policy, the House voted tonight to repeal Trump's tariffs on Canada 219-211. Both the Senate and House have now voted to repeal Trump's tariffs on Canada. Rs growing weary of defending the indefensible. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

I don't think Trump/Johnson losing control of the House in the last 24 hours is getting nearly enough attention.

This is a thread that you have to read. The numbers are staggering. Dems create jobs, R's destroy jobs.

Of the 52 million jobs created in America since 1989, 51 million, 97%, have been created under Dem Presidents. Essentially all of them. 4/

In these last 37 years Democratic Presidents have averaged twice as many jobs created PER MONTH - 211,000 - as Republicans have averaged PER YEAR - 90,000. 3/

During these 37 years here's the average job growth per year under the two parties: Democrats - 2,500,000 Republicans - 90,000 2/

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

“Cut ICE’s budget to restore federal health care funding” is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

Seems like a great time for all of us to see this video clip again.

This feels incredibly dangerous.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding. There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.
