PLAIN TALK Late Afternoon Edition SU 02/22/2026 Featured Discussion

Energy, Banks, Student Loans and landlords are destroying the UK by stealing so much of people's money they have none to spend on anything else. All so they can payout hundreds of billions to billionaires living in Tax Havens.

At this point, we should check Fort Knox to make sure we have any gold there and not just dust, cobwebs and a note that says "I.O.U." in Trump's handwriting...

Happy Sunday James 1:11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. #JustSayin

ICYMI: In a controversial decision, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that meant millions of people in the U.S. can now be detained…indefinitely. Asha and Renato explain why the court’s decision undermines due process.

"Big ones. Nuclear" Trump's dementia is nuclear- that's all.

ICYMI

10% then 15% maybe 20% Monday, maybe more for countries who are mean to him? Tariffs shouldn't be based on the capricious whims of one angry senile old man.

Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived — this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law" Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"

The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro. ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever. This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

Popok, joined by Special Guest, California Attorney General Rob Bonta who led the charge to overturn Trump's tariffs causing hundreds of billions of harm to the American people and causing the loss of millions of jobs, explains what happens next on the Court and the economy with the new ruling.

The Embezzler-In-Chief Challenge the unconstitutional immunity ruling👉class action lawsuit in a lower court

REMINDER

The Trump family has pocketed more than $4,000,000,000 from their crypto schemes—using the office of the President to line their own pockets. That’s why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act—we need to stop this grift in its tracks.

We cannot believe a damn word from DHS. They tried to HIDE their killing of another American citizen. The victim's family & the American people deserve immediate accountability in this case & for all of DHS's lawless killings. Kristi Noem needs be fired or impeached, NOW.

Trump's economy is failing Americans.   Working families are struggling to make ends meet, & Trump's tariff tax has made things even worse.   Maybe it's time he and Republicans stop passing tax cuts for the wealthy and start tackling rising prices — though I'm not holding my breath.

Imagine taking a vacation abroad & being disappeared to a jail for 40+ days for no reason. That’s what this Admin is doing to foreign tourists. It's outrageous & hurting our businesses.  When will other nations start holding the Admin accountable for mistreating their citizens?

Your guy’s immigration policy is wildly unpopular. No one wants a lawless ICE, tear-gassing schools, disappearing legal immigrants, and murdering American citizens. Not a single one of us should vote to fund a part of the government this off the rails.

No Republican in the history of the United States has personally attacked more of his fellow Republicans than Trump. No Republican has done it more often or as long. No Republican has ever actively campaigned against other Republicans as often as Trump.

After massive embezzlement, the embezzler is suing his victims, the American people.

It’s called embezzlement.

He also stole our money to give to his "Board of Peace" which declared possible war with Iran (Is Orwell alive and still writing?); he stole money to give to other countries, and he stole money for his fun with Venezuela where his own bank acct is being filled in Qatar..it's UFB.

ICYMI

Donald Trump illegally stole your money. He should give it back to you. Instead Trump is scheming up new ways to force Americans to pay even more.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said consumers, not big corporations, should get refunds.

ICYMI Voting election protections for the midterms

I said before the 2024 election that Trump would hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu and that is exactly what he's done. If an idiot like me could figure this out it was totally predictable! 😜😵‍💫🤷

The fact that they want to increase military spending by 500bln but stopped aid to Ukraine and whinge about why Biden sent about 130bln over a few years illustrates how deeply pro-russian the Trump administration is. And hypocritical.

Europe's gruesome twosome engaging in energy blackmail of Ukraine after being briefed by Rubio and the Kremlin. 🤮

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

For over 15 years, members of Congress have blocked themselves from receiving an automatic cost-of-living increase in their pay. But now, a bipartisan group of former and current lawmakers have advanced a lawsuit that could lead to larger salaries.

Good Morning ☕️

Goodnight 🌙

Night night sweet dreamies Whatever you're feeling right now is the only thing you need to be feeling right now. Never ignore your emotions to fit in or to please others.

Nothing to see here. Just out walking my kangaroo. 🦘

Well, we're all ready for the big storm that's coming tomorrow night. Plenty of food, snowblowers are gassed up and I've got a cozy blanket. Still nothing on TV with 1 exception, a new #48Hours @48hours at 10 #Spike #TVPicks #Dogsofbluesky

Tech oligarchs betrayed democracy

Common sense

1/6 Peter Thiel is the textbook Silicon Valley hypocrite. He brands himself as a libertarian who hates the state but he built his fortune on government contracts. Palantir is a taxpayer-funded spy machine that would not exist without the big government he claims to despise
