Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Trump administration working to expand effort to strip citizenship from foreign-born Americans U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials focused on denaturalization were sent to offices nationwide, sources say.

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, has been implicated in alleged fraud on her U.S. citizenship application.

Trump 1.0 did this, too. Remember that Obama had a plan to deal with a pandemic, and the Trump admin just threw it out. Then we had a pandemic and they had no plan.

Jack Smith was sent a copy of Volume II to prepare for his testimony on the Hill, though he told Congress he didn't open it. So I think he has a copy, unless it was some kind of temporary access to a DOJ system like the DOJ Epstein Files computer terminals.

Watch👇Rep AOC (D-NY) connect the dots on income inequality and the rise of authoritarianism, and MAGA Republicans say she’s just a bartender. I’d like to see one of them pontificate on this subject for 2 minutes, ain’t happening. #TrumpAffordabilityDisaster

Thankfully, Kristi Noem got her blanket back.

"Conway struck [an] urgent tone: 'We are facing a president who does not care about the rule of law …. He has to go. We cannot last three more years of this. It’s either him or us. It’s America or Trump.”

Why was Dr. Oz inviting Epstein to parties 8 years after Epstein was convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution?

Good morning blue sky

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

Do all the new ICE agents being hired think that this is going to actually be a career for them?

This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors. You can see this file on DOJ’s website www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Pam Bondi didn’t show up to serve the public, she showed up to perform for Donald Trump. I break it down in my new essay.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

The people of Minnesota, and Minneapolis especially, have set the blueprint for our resistance. They were tough, determined, disciplined, peaceful and kind. They remained united throughout the ICE occupation. Thank you, Minneapolis, for leading the way. Please support Haven Watch.🙏💙

Clinton was impeached for an affair. Nixon resigned over one burglary. Trump has 34 felony convictions and 1 million mentions in the Epstein files. But he's still president??? The system is broken. PUT HIM IN JAIL!!!

Donald Trump is threatening your health and well-being to reward his fossil fuel donors. While he sells out our nation's future, I won't stop believing in the science and fighting for what Illinoisans need — affordable energy, clean air and water, and good jobs.

Finally.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive. It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water. Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

Today I had a meaningful conversation with NYC Mayor Mamdani about the reality local governments are facing. When federal government targets immigrant communities, it’s cities that feel it first — and cities that step up. We’re building a coalition of mayors ready to lead.

Republicans don't have unwavering principles anymore. And they know they'll be threatened anytime they do or say something Trump doesn't like.

Let’s be clear: these protections help keep our air breathable, our water drinkable, and our communities healthy. However, Trump decided to prioritize the interests of fossil fuel companies over the health and safety of Americans. Climate change isn't a scam; he is. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c...

Sarah Longwell: "This is the Epstein administration because there are two types of people in it — there are people who are in the Epstein files and there are people who are covering up the Epstein file."

New Jersey’s newly elected Governor Mikie Sherill is the latest Democratic state leader to take action to protect her state’s residents from ICE: barring agents from entering, accessing, or using nonpublic areas of state-owned property without first receiving a judicial warrant. trib.al/vqBrPzT

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family. It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

Another good day to remember: #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

thank you to the thousands of people who have posted, commented, private messaged, texted, and phoned to offer condolences over yesterday morning’s passing of my wife Claudia Long. I deeply regret that I can only reply to the smallest fraction of you, but I want you to know that ... [1/2]
