The original State of the Union was a private affair with the President speaking to Congress, no witnesses. What we have now is just a TV PR event. Just an observation, independent of the fact that our current president is incompetent, autocratic, vindictive, and amazingly corrupt.

Corporate media in this country will never support democracy. This article details how accounts for Epstein AND Jared Kushner held at Deutschebank were flagged as suspicious. Then the person who flagged them was fired. jacobin.com/2026/02/fbi-...

Stop me if you have heard these before: "The Biden Crime Family" "Stop the weaponization of the DOJ" -every accusation was not just a confession. Actually they were all just Trump 2 game plans!

"The Biden Crime Family" and "Stop the politicization of Biden's DOJ' seem like very quaint slogans now. Every accusation was a game plan.

The only possible response that the IEA can make to Secretary Wright is: "Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out." www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

So Mr. Wexner, what you are telling us that you are totally innocent because you merely bankrolled Epstein, a sex criminal and con man, who you could have stopped with a little due diligence and by non-cooperation.

Congressman Robert Garcia gives update on Les Wexner stating there would be no #Epstein island, no plane, etc. without the financial support of Wexner.

Les Wexner met Jeffrey Epstein in 1986. Epstein became a key financial advisor for Wexner in 1987. In 1991, Wexner, then a billionaire, handed over his power of attorney to Epstein. Dwell on this.

Lex Wexner claims that Epstein stole millions from Wexner- yet Wexner never tried to get his money back? Obvious lie. It's a shame that the GOP still has a House Majority, since Speaker Johnson will do his best to conceal Wexner's guilt. theeagleswire.usatoday.com/story/news/l...

If you are trying to make sure nobody gets to see the Tallarico/Colbert interview, don't create censorship outrage when it can easily be seen on the internet. You are just building audience. www.msn.com/en-us/tv/new...

#Ukrainianview My heating is back! Damn, I'm sooo happy! Today temperature at home dropped to 14°C, but with heating it'll recover to 18-19°C in a couple of days. And power outages are getting shorter. I can describe to foreigners how much breathing room it brings to the daily life.

In other Trump science news, the White House announces a new research project to figure out where the Sun goes at night. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The U.K. figured out how @VladimirPutin assassinated Navalny! Great science work. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Language from the PROVE IT Act was included in a funding package that is now law! "It's like so many legislative accomplishments. It starts years before it's accomplished," Sen. Cramer told @eenews.bsky.social. CCL is part of the story of those years... 🧵 subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

We want Congress to pass a comprehensive permitting reform package that will be a net benefit to clean energy and the climate. Our new training series breaks down everything you need to know: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/advocac...

The Trump administration efforts to make U.S. transportation and electrical utilities burn as much fossil fuels as possible reminds us of 90 years ago when gasoline bus companies bought up electrical trolley companies and shut them down to create a monopoly.

There is absolutely nothing that Don Trump will not do, in the service of fossil fuel monopolists who fund him. www.cnn.com/2026/02/13/w...

Jefrey Epstein was an ardent climate denier. “i liked the argument that more co2 is good for plants?” “is the south pole getting colder and more ice?” “Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation. The earth's forest fire- potentially a good thing for the species.”

HALLELUJAH the dam is breaking The House votes 219 to 211 to strike down Trump's Canada tariffs. 6 Republicans joined the Dems: Bacon, Fitzpatrick, Massie, Kiley, Newhouse, and Hurd.

Really good from Borowitz today, President Trump got a gold medal at the Cortina Olympics in the Downhill Presidency event. Genius :)

Elon Musk changes deadlines and objectives like he changes his underwear www.msn.com/en-us/news/t...

God, Trump is such a pitiful mess. Bless his heart

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Ask Virginia Lawmakers to Support Clean Resilient Power. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Virginia's new blue legislature has passed the same kind of redistricting that the reds did down in Texas. You won't be surprised to see how differently described those two democratic voting outcomes.

Senator @senrosagalvez.bsky.social speech on the Climate-Aligned Finance Act is a must-watch. Clear, grounded, and hopeful. We were 🙏deeply grateful for her kind shout-out to CCL Canada. Please like and comment on the YouTube video. Climate risk is financial risk. 🌱 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf55...

I found the dumbest most pathetic post on the internet today:

Sad boot licking by Senator Bill Cassidy. Fact: African Americans who let themselves be seduced by Trump have learned a valuable lesson, and they won't be back.

It is horrifying what Jeff Bezos did to the Washington Post. He has intentionally destroyed it in order to curry favor with Trump. Drop your Amazon accounts, friends. There is no other way to fight back against Bezos' boot licking.

@sfischell.bsky.social 93% of the vote in, Mejia leading. Hm hope she can win April 16.

It’s been 9 days since Tulsi Gabbard was spotted at the FBI raid in Fulton County, and the administration’s story still keeps changing.

Are we going to need to throw our bodies down in front of the Kennedy Center to stop Trump from knocking it down? This is Don. Don is a vindictive guy and he has no limits anymore to what he is willing to do. "Renovation" might mean flattening, like he did with the East Wing and the Rose Garden.

The ethanol thing is just a boondogle. GWB posed as caring about #climatechange with biofuels but it was nothing but a corrupt ploy for Iowa farmer votes, a quid pro quo. We could put solar on that land and solve our energy woes right there, with some energy storage to solve intermittency

Trump makes incoherent and contradictory claims about affordability. Meanwhile his devotion to fossil fuel monopoly friends will cost rate payers billions, because coal is no longer cost competitive. Sad www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Dear Ghislaine, love, Melania

Our President has officially lost his Effing mind. I have been to the National Mall many times and it is totally unworkable and unacceptable to change it into a drag strip for car racing. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

EV sales in the EU increased by 50% YoY in 2025. ICE vehicle sales went down by 20% YoY in 2025. This fact needs to be shouted often and loud enough so that Americans can hear it so they'll start transitioning to the superior technology.

Trump: "Two percent of the population causes 90% of the crime. So when you start decimating that two percent - boom." This is straight up Nazi language. And on International Holocaust Memorial Day.

📢 Breaking: So Trump signing an important order, Removing all Government censorship, and restoring Free Speech to U.S. Ok.. So following states should immediately return all banned books to the libraries... Right?🤔✌️ #Florida #Missouri #Montana #SouthCarolina #Texas #Oklahoma -- #NoBookBans --

I don't see how ICE murdering U.S. citizens in Minneapolis helps Mike Johnson hold onto his gavel in November. Am I missing something? I think it's great if he hands it to Jeffries, I just don't see WHY the House GOP wants to walk off the cliff.

Part of the danger from the winter storm is people doing dangerous things that they don't have to do. This can be trying to cut down a tree that falls on you, or driving/walking on ice, or heating home by burning something indoors. Be careful, and don't die trying to save yourself!

Well, Trump stumbled in Court because he had no legal grounds for what he tried to do. The usual. Virginians paid for 2600 megawatts of power and we have the right to get what we bought.

We have already paid for much of this work and Virginians need those 2600 megawatts @kaine.senate.gov. Our President had no right to interfere on made-up grounds. Thank you for supporting CVOW.

The Interior Department said pausing construction of offshore wind farms would allow the government agencies to work with project developers to mitigate potential risks. But wind companies say the administration isn't sharing information about newly-discovered threats. n.pr/4qt8mA9

This admin refuses to do anything to lower your health care costs, but found $75 billion for ICE… so agents can break down the doors of American citizens’ homes and drag them, barely clothed, through the snow. That’s not an exaggeration. That happened this weekend in Minnesota.
