Bring all our stolen neighbors home

Oh Kevin, you silly grinning airhead, you are… but not the way you think.

A busy stretch of elections is coming up next week. Bolts is watching a legislative primary in Arkansas on Tuesday, a congressional primary in New Jersey on Thursday and then, on Saturday, contests in Louisiana and Texas.

Chris Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "If you're a conservative in this country, you should care about the fact that your govt is intentionally hurting kids. You should care about the fact that this govt is violating the 4th, 2nd, and 1st Amendment every single day. This is a lawless administration."

Either you support execution-style murders and the tear-gassing of children or you don't. This isn't morally nuanced. If you support Trump, you're a bad person who is a danger to the rest of us.

5 year old Liam is home, according to @ilhanmn.bsky.social and @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social!

We need to realize this time that a good portion of the damage from the Biden debate was our collective freak out, and preemptively apologizing for ourselves, and we can neuter that by telling the press to go fuck themselves if they try this shit.

One of the many excellent talking points and promises for aspiring Democrats heading to 2026 and 2028 - assuming we have free and fair elections - is to give us specific details on HOW we should hold Trump Admin accountable. Specifically, Miller, Bondi, Noem, Patel, Kegseth, and Trump.

Another too big to fail payday for the 1%.

Yup, and we'll be expected to bail them out. That will be the demand.

The project to distance Epstein’s associates and collaborators from his abuse, a project which has been taken on by the likes of Ezra Klein and people at the elite institutions that enabled Epstein, is a project to prevent fully understanding why abusers get away with it and how they can be stopped

The crash is coming, the bubble will pop

My unsolicited recommendation that will be completely ignored: A lot of terrible people who helped re-elect Trump will jump off the ship. They will be embraced by Democrats and corporate media. Make them earn it. Make them show their homework. Or else this cycle repeats itself again and again.

It’s great when Elon Musk fans try to help

A consistent story in US politics has been Republican obedience. Safely ensconced in seats with large GOP majorities they feared Trump unleashing his cult-like primary voters more than they did their electorate. Also, a Dem just won a Trump +22 Texas district despite a 1:10 funding disadvantage.

Melania really needs to answer questions about her friendships with Epstein, Maxwell and Jean Luc Brunel, the Epstein associate who died by "suicide" in prison. How did she meet all these people? Why did she know them? Epstein says he's the one who introduced Melania to Donald Trump.

Liam and his family are here legally. This whole horrible episode was simply state violence by Trump’s criminal administration aimed at terrorizing non white communities.

History has proven that freedom isn’t guaranteed. It’s fought for. This Black History Month reminds us we stand on the shoulders of civil rights leaders who peacefully protested, marched and demanded better from our government. We won't let a wanna-be king trample our rights.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipped a Texas Senate district in Tarrant County on Saturday, easily beating a Trump-backed Republican. The district has been reliably red for decades. Rehmet tallied more than 57% of the vote, despite being outspent 10 to 1 this month by his MAGA-backed opponent.

"Supreme Bootlicker of the House" is not a U.S. government job title. The speaker's role is to lead a coequal branch that holds the other branches in check. Not many people know this.

🇺🇸🤔 Epstein offered himself as a source of insights about Donald Trump for Russian officials. In the correspondence, Epstein admits that he had already spoken about Trump with former Russian ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin, who died in 2017.

Khanna: "There has to be accountability. Do I think impeaching Kristi Noem is going to solve the issue of ICE? No. But it's gonna send a signal that you can't wield power without a check in this country. And that's what we have with ICE agents smashing windows, following people to churches."

“Trump’s name appears throughout the Epstein files. Do you have any outstanding questions about the relationship between President Trump and Epstein?” Spineless Speaker Johnson: “I do not.” Unbelievable cowardice. Stomach-churning complicity. (From @acyn.bsky.social )

Impeach Trump. Jail them all. ICE's cruelty thrives unchecked. System protects the wealthy, not us

Impeach and remove Trump and his supporters. Then have a new election. Jail them all and investigate everything. Healthcare for all, housing for all, payed leave, equity in pay and rebalancing /resources, tax the rich, free childcare and education for all, and abolish ICE Then we can talk.

‼️‼️‼️‼️

Incumbents will be tempted to lay low, make minimal promises and coast in complacently. They need to be pushed -- primary challengers and town halls, etc. Get promises of action now so they hit the ground running when they retake Congress. Stake out a clear agenda, win a strong mandate, get moving.

The speaker doesn’t refute the claim. He furthers the conspiracy despite years without presenting evidence. He claims what’s good for Trump rather than what’s lawful and good for America.

So, this is the Speaker of the House a) raising doubts about legitimate election outcomes, b) presenting legal voting processes (mail-in ballots) as illegal, and c) endorsing Trump's practice of focusing only on Dem majority voting sites. He is on board with Trump's plans to control the midterms.

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

Like most of the House, Mike Johnson has only been there in the Trump era. It’s not simply that he’s abdicating his power as a coequal branch, it’s that he doesn’t seem to understand that it *is* a coequal branch.

This isn’t going to age well.

“Republicans are perfectly fine with having a child rapist in charge of the government“

The point is Mike Johnson just said “it sets up a dangerous situation” So you admit then, there was an undertone of intentionality of force toward Mr Pretti best on having not gotten enough of him during a tail light incident. So you’re tell me, the speaker of the house beliefs force is okay

When reminded dear leader said mistakes were made Mike Johnson changes his tone.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche claims not to know why intel chief Tulsi Gabbard was present at an FBI raid to seize voting records. The FBI is part of Blanche's agency. If he doesn't know why she was there, that's shocking negligence. Of course he does know – he's just trying to bullshit the public.

The DOJ releasing Epstein files with the names of 32 victims, 31 unredacted, is a bizarre way to “protect victims,” especially since thats the same excuse they used to avoid following the law and releasing the files in the first place. It’s grotesque. These are horrible people

The good people of Wisconsin deserve better.

We can learn so much about our capacity for strength and resiliency, by watching these survivors. They have learned to move the unimaginable in the direction of healing, they’ve learned to recapture their sense of worth, and they’ve used that for decades to create awareness and change in the world.

Thinking about the victims and the many clients I’ve seen who’ve experienced SA and other experiences of childhood abuse. The sadness I feel understanding the impact on their lives brings me to my knees in tearful prayer and faith. Innocence destroyed, their sense of self twisted, their self 🧵

Minnesota is pushing ICE back. They are winning- albeit at a terrible cost. They are showing us that we CAN win back our democracy. So we will march - where ever Trump’s militia invade. They will try to crush every blue state & beyond. In a sense, Minnesota is our Birmingham. We have just begun 🇺🇸

BASH: Why was Director of Natl Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard present at an FBI raid? BLANCHE: I don't know why the director was there. But she is for sure a key part of our efforts at election integrity and making sure we have free and fair elections. She's an expert in that space.

"the scrutiny around Mr. Epstein instead revealed that an investment firm co-founded by Mr. Thiel accepted $40 million from Mr. Epstein and that Mr. Epstein and Mr. Thiel corresponded for at least five years before Mr. Epstein’s death." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

Defund ICE. Disable the grift. Disempower the Epstein class. Defy authoritarianism. Discredit Trumpism. Deconstruct MAGA. Defeat the GOP. Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Before I read posts on here today, please tell me which MSM outlet was parked outside “youth pastor” and sometime Speaker Mike Johnson’s home (D.C. townhouse or home in Shreveport) this morning to get his reaction to the Epstein files & the horrifying allegations made in them against the President?

Todd Blanche is bad at this.

If I'm understanding his argument it's not fair to single out the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES for being a sexual predator when his good friend also hung out with lots of other sexual predators?
