Just this week: - Administration is caught hiding evidence Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old - Pentagon demands AI companies allow it to use AI for mass surveillance and killer robots - Trump launches unconstitutional war against Iran - Pro-Trump oligarch buys CNN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Something that's being overlooked: The Saudi government—yes, the same gov't that butchered a Washington Post journalist a few years ago—is set to be a part owner of CNN. Watch the full episode of Power Lines on YouTube: youtu.be/nWEG5jUrP2Q?...

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

Only one in five Americans supported an attack on Iran. But Trump did it anyways.

The government illegally took your money. They won’t give it back.

Dividing us. It’s all he’s fucking capable of - stoking division, trying to divide us. And spewing hate. And spreading fear. It’s all he’s got. He is the absolute worst of us.👇

I think @normative.bsky.social made this point yesterday, but once you get beyond the outrage of the brutality of the original “arrest” here, you also have to confront the fact that a D.A. CHOSE TO PROSECUTE THIS and a judge SENTENCED HIM TO A YEAR IN JAIL. Total system fail. WTF

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

"We’ve never had a president who used the WH as a real-time venture capital accelerator for his family. In Trump’s first term, his children at least pretended that they weren’t trying to profit off the presidency. This time around, they’re selling Trump-branded crypto tokens." — @lizdye.bsky.social

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028. He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009. The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Democracy Docket laid down a marker on the big take away from Trump's SOTU. Let's see what legacy media produces. If you appreciate pro-democracy media that will never back down or obey, subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Electricity rates increased by 13% under Trump. 49 states and Washington, D.C. are already experiencing electricity and natural gas bill increases.

Leave to trump and company to figure out how to tarnish gold.

Yeah. My thinking was get up and walk the fuck out when he started jerking off about his immigration policy

I love traditions like when he makes his way down the hall and members offer bids for pardons.

Oversight Democrats have been investigating the handling of serious allegations by a survivor against Donald Trump when she was a minor. We have now confirmed that some of the documents related to this survivor appear to be missing from the files. Here’s what we know ⬇️

The rush to assure that the the constitutional order is fine and the courts are controlling Trump, is really astonishing given the use of the shadow docket to allow Trump to reshape the government as he saw fit. Also, how much mileage they are getting from the student loan case?

It’s been obvious for quite some time that Pam Bondi must be covering up evidence in the Epstein files which implicates Trump in truly repulsive acts And at this point it’s no longer just a conspiracy theory-it’s actually a legitimate inquiry-to speculate whether the president truly is a pedophile

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

Is it too early to call the Democrats’ State of the Union response a disappointing failure?

I completely understand why people are angry about this, but consider that it *really is true* that the media is wired to make it about Dems, or at least both-sides it. The press would *love* to have anything to cover other than "an 80yo dementia patient ranted for hours."

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds.” www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

On Wednesday Trump predicted the U.S. would have GDP numbers that no one had ever seen before. Two days later the GDP results were released. The GDP for the 4th Quarter slowed to 1.4%.

Still in jail. Absolutely no legit reason. I'm very concerned about any injuries the kids may have. They need to be checked out by doctors. At this point, it's crucial to put maximum pressure on political and law enforcement officials to get the youngsters out of custody. Today! Not Tuesday!

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.

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.

Wolfers: What we have is a pro-tax Republican president. Maybe he favors this tax because it’s regressive — it takes a bigger chunk out of the paychecks of the poor than of the rich. Maybe he thinks he can baffle us with bullshit and pretend China is paying, but that’s a story people aren’t buying

Your now-regular reminder that Republicans in Congress are okay with all of this...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.” This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate." #TrumpSyndicate

Why would federal prosecutors in 2019 tell authorities in New Mexico to stop their investigation into Epstein and Zorro Ranch?

Trump added $12.5T to the debt in one term—over a third of all U.S. debt racked up by 44 other presidents combined. That’s not “fiscal conservatism,” it’s a demolition job on our future. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

What would normally be presidency-ending scandals not even a blip on the radar Daily

NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr. Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway. “He was supposed to be here, but… 1/

Re suicide bombing: Nader voters in 2000 voted for him in part because they agreed w/him there was too much corporate $$ influencing elections. He renegs on promise not to campaign in Florida, GWB wins & puts Roberts & Alito on SC, whose Citizens United decision hugely supercharges dark money flood.

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.
