CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues. About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

This is so spot on

Yet another extremely stupid decision my Trump that will endanger lives now and well into the future. Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c...

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

the world is on fire but @blonderfragility.bsky.social and I celebrated the one-year mark since our first date this past weekend and I hope this gives you a fraction of the joy it gives me

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

I hope every American is paying attention to Trump’s unfolding plans to steal the midterms.

Bad bunny won aoty and ginger won all stars. Puerto Rico forever

This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

BREAKING: Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet just won a *massive* landslide to flip a deep-red Senate district. He's up by 14 points in a Trump+17 seat—an overperformance of more than 30 points. How did he do it? Here's our full writeup:

Trump carried this district by 17-points in 2024 Something like a 31-32 point swing towards the Democrats when compared to the Trump-Harris margins

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Macaulay Culkin wrote a tribute to Catherine O’Hara after her passing “Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you but I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later"

Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And: "Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans." www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.

Didn’t think I’d ever see Republicans switch to the talking point that guns are bad but here we are.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oh so close! But actually, non-citizens shouldn't be murdered either.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

My friends, we are in a serious constitutional crisis. The government is racially profiling, suppessing free speech, killing our own people in the streets— and lying about every fact along the way. If we don’t use our natural talents and voices to say “no,” then what’s the point of law at all?

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

Yet, seven democrats voted to fund DHS and ICE. They’re complicit and should be primaried.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

I know the Constitution doesn’t mean much to some people but it does to me and so many others. If you allow this to stand and don’t fight against it, you will be complicit when it’s used against you.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

If you’ve ever needed proof of how out of touch Republicans are with reality, here you go!

The original concentration camps didn't start as death camps. But they did kill a lot of people through neglect, malnutrition, disease, and individual murders. There's no distinction between this facility and dachau in 1933.

He's insane.

Block instantly.

Democrats need to set up a special tribunal system to systematically and efficiently prosecute every member of the government involved in any of this. Not just prosecuting the worst offenders or the leaders. Everyone. Set up special courts and expedited rules and then throw away the key.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Yet another history book photo we are living through. There’s a whole chapter for the first few weeks of 2026.

Another extended episode of “Democrats inexplicably fold a winning hand” could fracture the party altogether, with newly radicalized urban wine Moms joining together with the coalition’s long-aggrieved left flank to decamp for a new party altogether. https://bit.ly/3NxWUER

The City of Minneapolis again demands that ICE leave the city and state immediately. We stand by our immigrant and refugee communities – know that you have our full support.

I like that Newsom occasionally reminds everyone why he actually sucks on policy for no reason

Why does this article even exist given its own third and fourth paragraphs

take a second to really wrap your head around this.

They are unlawfully detaining people for First Amendment protected activities, as far as I can tell. Dragging people out of their vehicles absent witnessing a crime and without a judicial warrant is repugnant to our constitutional order.

There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.

White supremacist talking points. No dog whistles.
