JUST IN: Advisors to Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s closed-door deposition has been paused after it was revealed that Lauren Boebert shared an unauthorized photo from the hearing with Benny Johnson, who then posted it on social media, as seen below.

What a gift such a clearly unconstitutional executive order would be! Though divorced from legal and factual reality, it would enable the courts to invalidate this power grab well in advance of the election, and confirm the clear limits to fed'l interference in elections. wapo.st/3N5cpEn

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

Netflix has dropped out of the Warner Bros. Discovery bidding, clearing the way for Trump-aligned David Ellison’s Paramount to move forward. If the deal goes through, Ellison could take control of CNN, HBO, and much more, amid deep ties between the Ellisons and the Trump White House.

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!) These are not serious people or good faith actors.

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media. Off the top of my head: www.thehandbasket.co 404media.co www.garbageday.email Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying. Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free. So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

I remain happy that the Zohran Mind Virus is able to impact the most odious man alive. I hope he goes back next time with the Trump Immigration Security Plan that instantly abolishes ICE but renames the Herald Square Sbarro to the Trump National Pizza Shop.

Hillary Clinton’s closed door testimony was just halted because that clown Boebert snuck photos from her chair and sent them to Benny Johnson.

Hegseth doesn’t want career non-partisan professionals in senior military positions. He wants right-wing Christian nationalist political ideologues. Our military is being torn apart by this drunken fool.

Very normal, not fascist country, amirite www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

No regulation. No oversight. Just endless streams of money for AI and also Crypto. These industries are giving MILLIONS to both Democrats and Republicans. What could go wrong? www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

Meet my State of the Union guest, Jeremy Schumacher. Without ACA tax credits, his health insurance costs jumped 288%. An $11,000 increase. Trump sold out the American people to give billionaires another tax break.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

NEW: The New York Times confirms my reporting that the DOJ is withholding several FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

🤥🤥🤥

Bill Gates reportedly apologized to his foundation staff over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and admitted he had affairs with two Russian women

WIRED says the "Johnny MAGA" X account that spreads pro-Trump propaganda is run by a White House staffer named Garrett Wade and does rapid response for the Trump regime www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

These guys are going out of their way to ruin their own accomplishment. It’s amazing.

⁨Minnesota voter: "Farmers are really hurting right now with the tariffs, the price of corn, the price of beans. They are losing money with every acre that they're planting.⁩" Trump's answer? Increase the tariffs.

I hope every one of them that laughed at the women's team received a severe case of bubble guts from that atrocious food.

A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

BREAKING John Hurley — a Trump donor and Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence — is exiting after objecting to White House-backed efforts aimed at alleged fraud in Minneapolis’ Somali community. He reportedly warned about data privacy issues.

"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...

A key difference between the two types of politicians obsessed with “public relations.” Zohran is reportedly very involved in the senior level comms of his admin and monitors how this stuff “plays” closely and moved to Do Something About It. Trump is obsessed with public relations and instead of…

NEW: What is the DOJ hiding? Witness statements missing, including one involving a sexual assault allegations made against President Trump. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Some congressional Democrats hosted their own "People's State of the Union" address, and a "State of the Swamp" event attended by former Trump administration officials, Democratic lawmakers, and other voices against the administration. minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/24/r...

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "Costs are too high — in housing, healthcare, energy, and childcare…[Trump's] reckless trade policies have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 each in tariff costs…And Republicans in congress remain unwilling..."

Gov Abigail Spanberger of Virginia. Integrity. Character. Leadership. Experience in law enforcement, CIA, Congress. Family. Articulate. NORMAL.

‼️‼️‼️‼️

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."

Gov. Abigail Spanberger is very, very good at this.

Gov. Spanberger: "In his farewell address, George Washington warned us about the possibility of 'cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men' rising to power. But he also encouraged us, all Americans, to unite in a common cause to move this nation forward."

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Why? There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

This may be the best SOTU response in...ever? Nailing all the right points: affordability, ICE abuses, corruption, Epstein. Not sure it matters, but Spanberger is providing Dems a good template for assailing Trump and offering alternative values and policies.

Trump's speech was under two hours, which bolsters the thesis that the leaks about it being more than two hours were meant to work the prediction markets

I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself. The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

While Trump is doubling down on tariffs and race war, this is happening -->

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Hours before Trump addresses Congress and the country, there’s new reporting that the Justice Department continues to protect Trump from more damning documents in the Epstein Files.⁣ ⁣ There will be survivors in the room tonight. He owes them an apology.

It’s time for our legislators to take a lesson in courage from eighth graders like Lydia and stand up to the gun lobby.

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

Most Republicans: What he did is horrific and led to the suicide of his staffer and we condemn it in the strongest terms but we want him to continue to serve in Congress until next year because we have a slim majority.
