Insane levels of corruption. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Mike Johnson just claimed (for at least the second time today!) to be ignorant of major news developments that reflect poorly on Trump. DRINK!

Breaking News: Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against six Democrats who posted a video reminding members of the military to refuse illegal orders.

I have no inside knowledge but it almost feels like a kind of malicious compliance from Pirro/whover worked on this. Like "Ok, sure boss. You bet. Coming right up. Six indictments of MoC for a video they did."

If you put 3 common grocery store items in front of him he wouldn’t have the first clue how much any of them cost. He has no idea whatsoever what life is like for 99.99% of Americans. Worse than that is that he has zero interest in finding out because he doesn’t care.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

Another loss for Pirro, whose office has “struggled to secure indictments and convictions, including when a jury acquitted a man who chucked a Subway sandwich ..” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

GODDAMN IT CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION I AM TRYING TO WRITE THE RUNDOWN FOR A LEGAL PODCAST CAN YOU SLOW DOWN THE LAWLESSNESS FOR A FUCKING MINUTE

On every important vote that matters, Susan Collins votes with Trump. Every time her vote could stop something he’s trying to do, she votes with him. She is a fake moderate with a MAGA voting record. A vote for Susan Collins is a vote to give Trump more power.

NEW: The unsealing of the FBI’s search warrant affidavit for its raid of a Fulton County, Georgia, election facility prompted swift condemnation from voting rights advocates, election experts and former federal officials. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Trump Regime actually tried to indict Democratic members of Congress who made the video letting troops know they take an oath to the Constitution not a man. And they failed. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Imagine if Republicans put this much time and effort into trying to improve the lives of their constituents.

It’s great that the grand jury said nix, but the attempt was a significant escalation.

Grand juries keep seeing through the Trump DOJ's naked attempts to intimidate critics and political rivals — this time for accurately stating that illegal orders must be disobeyed. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

WATTERS: “He passes me, screeches on the brakes, rolls down the window and says ‘F.U. FASCIST!’ — in my neighborhood! He doesn’t know I’m a fascist!” @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: “Yes he does! You’re on TV.” 👀 🔥

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now it turns out the whole thing is just election deniers telling the same old lies. Our democracy is in danger but I founded Democracy Docket to help keep you informed on the fight ahead. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

There are several throughlines in the Epstein saga. One is the community of elite child rapists and sex pests. Another is the weak narcissistic thirst for proximity to power and influence and celebrity. But another is official hubris: how offended Top People are that we question how they Do Things.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

The most blatantly corrupt gangster government in American history. Where are congressional Republicans on this stuff? Nowhere to be found. Vote them ALL out.

This is where most humans would simply say, ‘Yes, there is no way the president would pardon Maxwell.’ But it is very important for Trump to make Maxwell think it is always a possibility.

Chris Christie: So many of my fellow party members come up to me…in the green room at ABC, they'll say, 'You're so brave. That's so great. I totally agree with you. Trump's nuts.' ... Then on camera to be interviewed, and they go, ‘The greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.’ ...

“Who is buying ‘Melania’ tickets?”

In a prostitution ring bust Bloomington arrested 30 men, one of which performs background checks for ICE and Homeland Security. Story link in next post below /

⚡️UPDATE: Tennessee Republicans just BLOCKED Rep McKenzie’s bill to require @GovBillLee to track how many voucher kids were already in private schools 🤔 (hint: ALMOST ALL) Reeves, Bulso, White; haston & Slater not fans of transparency, it seems?🤷🏼

This all started with one fake post from a right-wing clickbait account that posted translated lyrics that Bunny never sang during the show. But now they've all convinced themselves that it happened because they don't know Spanish. bsky.app/profile/atru...

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

In the rural Maryland county where an ICE concentration camp is planned, the county commission board voted unanimously to back it. One board member, Derek Harvey, has an interesting resume: He was Trump’s top NSC Middle East adviser in 2017 + later worked as lead investigator for Rep Devin Nunes 🙃

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees. "This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You know, in certain older civilized cultures, when people disgraced themselves as completely as some of these Epstein correspondents have . . . . well.

The Trump Regime can’t help but overreach. When you surround a weakening wannabe authoritarian con man with incompetent sycophants who grovel at his every foolish whim, you get what you’re seeing now.

Quick reminder. Russia was allied with the Nazis in 1939. And Russia only won the war on their front because the US supplied them with military material through lend lease. Russia sucks

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

“.. The programs slated to be cut are in California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/h...

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.” hbr.org/2026/02/ai-d...

Khanna: "Donald Trump had the FBI scrub those files in March. And the documents we saw already had the redactions of the FBI from March. So we still have not seen the vast majority of documents unredacted that have the survivor statements of the rich and powerful men who committed these crimes."

🥇🥇🥇

Reminder: In July 2025, Trump’s DOJ claimed they had completed an “exhaustive review” of the Epstein files and there was “no basis” to charge anyone else with wrongdoing. Bondi and Patel reiterated these claims under oath in congressional hearings. Blanche and top DOJ brass toed the line. …

Congressman wants to round up and deport people who liked Bad Bunny’s show. This is the Republican Party.

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

New in PN: The death of the CIA Factbook and Trump's war on usefulness "There’s nothing partisan about the CIA World Factbook, so it’s hard to imagine how allowing people to use it could impede the MAGA agenda. Unless, that is, you realize the Factbook had to go *precisely because it was useful.*"

"This is Mia, 7 years old -- 'I don't want to be in this place. I want to be in my school'" -- Walkinshaw confronts Lyons with letters written by kids being detained by ICE

It’s not training. It’s a culture that has been allowed to flourish under the current Trump regime, but already existed because the entire DHS department needs to be reformed! Jonathan Ross shot and murdered Renee Nicole Good. HE WAS A FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR. HE TEACHES THEM TO FIRE THEIR WEAPONS!

The Grammys. The Olympics. The Super Bowl. The message is that the world loves diversity. Don’t let the billionaires tell you otherwise.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
