Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities. I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S. Join my live conversation with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social, 12:00pm ET, snyder.substack.com

This is Trump's former AI adviser

The new American dream, for some of its citizens, is to no longer live here. Put aside Trump's deportations, America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves in lands they find more affordable and safe. @drewhinshaw.bsky.social Joe Parkinson www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

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."

You know who kept Iran from getting nuclear weapons? Obama. Trump ripped up that deal and walked away, and here we are today. He's desperately trying to come up with a way to solve a problem that he created out of thin air.

Classic Trumpian hyperbole and nonsense on healthcare: -TrumpRx has 43 medications. Thats it. No new price rebates. It’s a menu for 43 meds, no new discounts. -He has no plan for healthcare. Sending Americans a small check isn’t healthcare. That’s the plan. #sotu

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib heckle Trump as he goes full fear-mongering white nationalist

Al Green is the fucking man here

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

Imagine sitting at home, struggling to pay your bills, and tuning in to watch this asshole talk about how great everything is.

oh dear Kash Patel was using the FBI's private jet to visit his mom... "The evidence response team instead had to drive through the night amid a snowstorm..." www.ms.now/news/senator...

Here’s new and irrefutable evidence from the Epstein files that Howard Lutnick made false statements and was misleading about his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. It hasn’t yet caused a storm. So please give it a read and share widely.

Trump's Friday morning so far: -- extremely disappointing 4th quarter GDP number -- inflation report hotter than expected -- Supreme Court strikes down tariffs

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump does NOT have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs — delivering a major blow to Trump’s sweeping “emergency” tariff regime.

Since 1982, there’s been only 99 cases of noncitizens voting in our elections. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s an average of 2.3 noncitizens voting per yr. And this is all according to the right-wing Heritage Foundation. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Republicans are about to shut down FEMA, the Coast Guard and TSA in a few hours. Instead of getting ICE under control this guy is having another meltdown online. We will never let you steal the midterm election.

Pam Bondi, after her disastrous Epstein files hearing. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

🚨In December 2016, Epstein invited Bill Gates to his island and informed him that “new administration people” were visiting. This was sent exactly one month before Trump was inaugurated for his first term.

Bondi: He didn't even know Chase Mulligan was. He is a defendant in your own district who preyed on girls. Raskin: Well, you know what? If he were part of the Epstein investigation, you wouldn’t do anything about it.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

(AXIOS) - Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Axios in an interview Tuesday that, when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, it came up "more than a million times." @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Less than 14% of the 400,000 immigrants arrested by the Trump regime in the last year had charges or convictions for violent crimes. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about terrorizing communities. Democrats must refuse to fund this cruelty.

NEW: Two weeks ago, the FBI conducted an unprecedented raid of Fulton County’s central election hub to acquire 2020 election records. Now, the county said in newly unsealed court filings that the search was "designed to intimidate" voters and may have violated numerous constitutional rights.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

A federal court has blocked Trump’s shutdown of America's biggest critical infrastructure project - which makes sense, since he's violating legal commitments the federal government made in good faith on my watch.

Today, construction on the nation’s largest infrastructure project came to a halt - with hundreds laid off - because Donald Trump is out of control. The good news: political pressure still works, and we can use our voices to make sure he doesn’t have the last word.

This is racist, plain and simple. Trump's behavior is beneath the Office of the President. Is there anyone around him who will tell him when he’s wrong? www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

President Trump posted a video including imagery depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes.

Trump posts a flagrantly racist video showing the Obamas as apes.

So far it seems like the mainstream media is mostly ignoring Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes

A video shared on President Trump’s Truth Social account depicts the Obamas as apes.

The day after DHS agents shot Alex Pretti 10 times, Secretary Bessent suggested it was justified because Pretti had a gun holstered on his waist, which he was licensed to carry. As the Treasury Secretary, his credibility matters. His refusal to retract his words speaks volumes.

Donald Trump is mentioned in the Epstein Files 5,000 more times than abortion is mentioned in the Bible.
