Midterm message:

Leonnig: "The whistleblower says in Dec. 2025, when there was a mass shooting at Brown U, Kash was on his FBI director jet in FL & there was only one other available jet, but Patel ordered it to be put on standby for another team. That meant an evidence review team had to drive through the night..."

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump illegally taxed Americans to the tune of $175 billion. I’m cosponsoring @wyden.senate.gov’s legislation to require that Trump refund those tariffs. Mr. President, give American consumers and small businesses back the money that you owe them.

We’re gearing up to hear a lot of lies in Trump’s State of the Union, so here’s the truth: Donald Trump has failed the American people. The economy is tanking, health care is unaffordable, ICE is terrorizing communities, our democracy is under siege – and you deserve better.

Comer downplays accusations of assault against Trump in Epstein files that DOJ has illegally refused to release: "Anyone can make an anonymous call and accuse anyone of anything"

Comer on Epstein: "Releasing some documents is a little more complicated than what the Democrats and the fringe of the liberal media are wanting to say. I think the president has been very transparent. He's released over 3 million documents. So I think things are going well."

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

As the Trump-Epstein coverup grows, Pam Bondi was in the hot seat to answer for her pedo-protecting DOJ. Rep. Dan Goldman joins the LP Podcast to take us through the hearing and how to fight back: https://youtu.be/xIYRrKzhLkc

What are the chances they'd go anywhere near him if he weren't the FBI director?

After Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting E Jean Carroll, a judge defined his conduct as rape-vindicating not only Carroll, but by extension dozens of other women who said he abused them And now there are credible claims in the Epstein files that he abused a minor HE MUST BE IMPEACHED

Blumenthal: Republicans don’t want to acknowledge what’s actually happening — or why it’s happening. And for Americans who wonder why, the answer was provided by this whistleblower: ICE agents are trained to break the law. It’s no accident or aberration…

Inside ICE’s tool to monitor phones in entire neighborhoods 404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. Webloc can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.

Happy Election Day to those who celebrate

My take on the TX primary: Crockett is centrist on policy and leftists on style. Talarico is leftist on policy and centrist on style. They are both great candidates. They are both electable. But I don’t trust the TX electorate to vote for a woman, because it has done so only ONCE! I hope

While I am getting ready for SCOTUS opinions to be released at 10am, Blue has other ideas...

James Comer lies with impunity about Epstein on Maria Bartiromo's show: "President Trump doesn't have any liability like the Democrats are trying to say" (Note that Maria pushes similar lies in this clip too)

Helluva investigation by @npr.org on how the DOJ "scrubbed from public view" multiple Epstein files that implicate Trump including in a case involving a 13 year old girl. NPR showing it's work like this is important:

Protect Ryan Schwank. Protect Jack Smith. Protect the Epstein survivors. Whistleblowers are risking their lives to warn the American people. We must listen to them.

Whistleblowers and independent journalists are finding we have to step in where the FBI and Congress have failed. Let that sink in.

1. FACT: Trump’s new tariffs are just as illegal as his old tariffs But numerous media outlets are spreading false information about the law — and Trump is benefiting. Let's break it down.

Here it is, at least 40.

The women’s hockey team declining Trump’s invitation to the White House wasn’t a political statement. It was a moral stand. Some men dismiss Trump’s character because they see their own darkness in him. Women less so, because he represents everything they don’t want to raise in a man.

ZELENSKY: “I hope to come here with Trump one day, so he can see what this war is really about… Putin is this war — the cause of its beginning and the obstacle to its end.” Powerful message to the resilient 🇺🇦 people from their president. Full: x.com/zelenskyyua/...

ICYMI — another L For the regime

We The People ARE the jury. Let’s roll!

When you're so stupid even the Court you stacked rules against you. https://youtu.be/Ctgqi-2QkPY

So does this Extreme Court. They will side with the oil companies.

Epstein Friend & Lawyer, Alan Dershowitz "Are you still talking about the Epstein files?"

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia. The cruelty is boundless.

Being the only successful and civilized country where people are routinely bankrupted when they get sick is a choice. A bad one.

Pakistani air raids break fragile ceasefire as Islamabad faces pressure on both borders.

This feels like prologue. They cut the reseach about keeping crowds safe www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/s...

Our government is losing its humanity.

ICE whistleblower alleges that Todd Lyons cut training on split second decision making and use of force, and says recruits are taught to treat non-judicial warrants as a “permission slip to themselves” to force entry into homes, effectively normalizing constitutional violations.

No matter how much QAnon terrorist Lauren Boebert recites bible passages to pretend she’s some holier than thou being, I’ll always remember that her son is a criminal, her ex-husband is a criminal and she is a criminal best known for performing lewd sexual acts at musicals.

"Stevens ... wrote a book with a bitter title: It Was All a Lie. When I told him how often people quote his title to argue that conservatism itself was a lie, he rolled his eyes. 'We conservatives were right about everything,' Stevens told me. 'Especially about the importance of character.'”

UPDATE: After years of “DCS MESS” scandals concerning foster kids sleeping in TN DCS offices— a new @SenJohnson @WilliamLamberth @GovBillLee bill would put them in “jail-like facilities” 🤔 “the antithesis of DCS’s mission” (From @paigepfleger.bsky.social ) wpln.org/post/tenness...

The “Melania” documentary didn’t even last one Scarmucci 😅😂

The Mad King descends deeper into his madness.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “It is not normal for the FBI director to be pounding beer in the locker room like that.” If a Democratic administration’s FBI director did what Kash just did Republicans would never talk about anything else ever again

NEW: In my DOGE FOIA case with @facoalition.bsky.social Judge Boasberg ordered DoJ to ask Sean Duffy For Elon’s phone number. @nationalsecuritylaw.org is it normal to tell a witness to talk to a separate lawyer about whether or not to respond to you? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
