Truth, folks.

I gave prior notice and secured the necessary privacy release forms to meet with specific detainees. Yet, the Northwest ICE Detention Center still blocked me from conducting oversight. What are they hiding?

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde gives Aloka the peace walk dog a chin scratch at Washington's National Cathedral. I love them both.

Beth Rubin, 67, said she attended because she sees ICE on a path toward what her family fled in the 1930s. "What is happening today to immigrants, to citizens, to innocent people...to the undocumented and the documented is very similar to what happened then." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

This image from Hubble Telescope released on Feb 10, 2026, reveals a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in the Egg Nebula, sculpted by freshly ejected stardust. Located approximately 1,000 lys away in the constellation Cygnus, the Egg Nebula features a central star obscured by a cloud of dust

This!

Larry the cat and President Zelensky. What could be better?

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Kylie Cheung at Abortion, Every Day writes about the future anti-abortion extremists want: "One in which we’re not just stripped of our most basic rights, but also deemed crazy for fighting back—even just for pointing out what’s being done to us."

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Reminder: Current WHCA President Weijia Jiang is Nancy Cordes' @cbsnews.com colleague. WHCA Secretary Sara Cook also works at CBS with Nancy. But WHCA shamelessly stands by & does NOTHING as a Convicted FELON/Adjudicated RAPIST hurls abusive insults at the women in news for doing their jobs.

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."

🦜 I think it's better to drop $15k on parrot conservation instead of $15k+ on say, a Macaw (including set up). I'd rather see them in the sky w/their flock, than in cages where they are often subjected to our busy schedules, denied what comes naturally, leading to "behavioral issues." #birdsky

Hey, you don't want to mess with my friend Joyce Carol Oates. She has claws and knows how to use them.

A poem about a cat. The child who wrote it deserves an A+++

Great idea!

We like presidents who don't starve kids while building themselves gold-plated ballrooms.

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

Man, I can’t stop thinking about the folks in Jamaica. This hurricane looks like it’s going to be brutal.

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

Destruction of the White House East Wing began today. Here it is in better times with better residents.

My favorite quote today “I 🩷 naps but I stay woke” 😂

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

When the Nobel Peace Prize is announced on Friday, I hope it goes to the Cats of Ukraine. For their resilience, fortitude, and determination to defend their country's democracy.

This is it, folks. No more pussyfooting around.

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!

I stand with Lisa Cook.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. In other words, I am the *opposite* of his cowardly employer.

JUST NOW — @raskin.house.gov to Kash Patel: “You want an FBI blindly loyal to Trump, and you as his enforcer, so you can continue your cover-up of a massive international sex trafficking ring.”
