The grandson of the inventor of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is lashing out at The Hershey Co., accusing the candy company of hurting the Reese's brand by shifting to cheaper ingredients in many products.

SHE’S SO GOLDEN 🥇 Alysa Liu wins GOLD and becomes the first U.S. woman to medal in figure skating since 2002.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

BREAKING: Alysa Liu wins the gold medal in women's figure skating.

The United States women's hockey team won gold Thursday, beating rival Canada 2-1 in overtime.

Andrew must be regretting not being born in the US. If he had, he could have avoided being arrested for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein by becoming president.

Your tax dollars at work

BREAKING: ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico attorney general reopens investigation into allegations of illegal activity at Epstein's former Zorro Ranch.

America gave up kings 250 years ago and adopted a system in which “no one is above the law.” But presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. The legacy of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

TEAM USA TAKES GOLD 🥇 Megan Keller wins it in overtime, helping the U.S. to a 2-1 victory over Canada.

There's video of ICE doing a massive operation with Tennessee state troopers—and making horrible comments as they go along. I'm talking awful racial profiling and bad jokes like "The guacamole is never going to taste the same." So much to dig into here: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Height of absurdity

If a member of your family in the US military gets killed in Iran soon, you can console yourself by knowing that they died to distract from their Commander-in-Chief's pedophilia.

The Trump administration has taken steps to clamp down on talk shows, which the FCC has suggested may be "motivated by partisan purposes." https://to.pbs.org/3OpzodN

If you have parents this stupid and you survive to adulthood unscathed physically, you should be legally able to take all their money and put them in a haunted house for their retirement

"And I'm proud to be an American/Where at least I know I'm free"

A record-breaking goal in the biggest moment for Hilary Knight 🇺🇸 Knight breaks Team USA's women's hockey Olympic points and goals record with her game-tying strike.

Trump may well be careening into a major war and the American corporate media coverage is credulous and feeble when it should be vigorously alerting the public to the dangers, the lack of any reasoned argument, and the imperative for Congressional authorization. presswatchers.org/2026/02/the-...

Is that his mugshot?

BREAKING: huge win in the big case vs ICE in LA. Government's motion to dismiss denied! We @democracydefendersfund.org our honored to represent my hometown the City of LA as intervenors together with other amazing counsel for them & for other parties. It takes a village!

CNN got DHS to confess to lying about its "worst of the worst" list. edition.cnn.com/2026/02/19/p...

The Brits woke up today and chose justice.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

As they dragged Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor away, he screamed, “Don’t you know the Dow is at 50,000?”

They are pretending they don’t understand the way tariffs work.

I spent the afternoon arguing with people at work who think using generative AI to help in their job is perfectly fine, and I am so fucking tired right now. (I am an attorney.)

Hmm. The US is giving $10 billion in taxpayer dollars, not appropriated by Congress, to a fake board set up by the President and which he put himself in charge of *for life*... seems very, very illegal.

If being associated with Jeffrey Epstein cost Andrew the title of "Prince," it should cost Donald the title of "President." But we are not a morally sound country.

Some good news for a change, and a very funny Trump administration backtrack. Yesterday: "Fake news!" Today: Unconditional surrender

House Republicans passed the SAVE Act to "protect" against voter fraud but their bill is nothing more than an infringement on voters' rights. Trump and his MAGA/GOP are the true threat to free and fair elections. #VoterID #Trump #GOP #JimCrow #Racism #Elections2026 #Congress

Duh

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

And the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body will have nothing to say about it. 🤡

Wow. Fed. judge tells DHS, ICE, Sec. Noem, AG Bondi, EOIR and others that they are harming "the fabric of this very nation" by defying a court order that vacated their automatic-detention policy. Order is linked here: www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
