I think any researchers who are looking in the right places in the Files—which I strongly believe PROOF is—no longer believe Trump got the 77K votes in three states that won him the presidency in 2016 under his own steam. Illegal foreign assistance was *well* beyond what we knew.

From @theguardian.com: In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and 5 charged cases still pending. Similarly, In Minneapolis as of last month there have been no convictions.

Where Minnesota is now, we all might be. And who Minnesotans are now is who we all should be.

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year. Where’s our refund?

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

Trump’s tantrum over SCOTUS tariff ruling demonstrates his mafia worldview — he expects loyalty to him over loyalty to the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/o...

A maternity ward doctor donated his own blood during surgery to keep a pregnant patient alive. One woman gained fewer than 10 pounds over her entire pregnancy. Another collapsed and had seizures during labor. (Published Dec. 2025)

Yes! And it can't come soon enough!

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.

At last. SCOTUS remembers that Congress is a separate and co-equal branch of government, to whom the Constitution assigns the power to levy taxes. One of Trump’s favorite levers is removed from the arsenal of extortion.

One win for a constitutional republic over Trumpian authoritarianism.

youtube.com/shorts/7JeiO... Congress needs to step up and restore justice within the DOJ. End this nightmare!

This is a crime. If you read the Board of Peace charter, you understand it has nothing to do with the American government; it's a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment. This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.

I *hate* dramatic irony, so I'll skip to the end and say that I'll jump up and down for the next decade about the Board of Peace being nothing more than a criminal syndicate, then sometime around 2035 an extremely well-paid corporate media hack will write an op-ed saying, "Could the BoP be a crime?"

This is catching on. There’s nothing Trump hates more than being ignored.

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does. Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?

We are a nation of laws, not of men. This banner symbolizes a disgusting betrayal of our values. www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/p...

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Don and I respond to Trump calling him a “sleaze bag” after his recent arrest. Isn’t Trump the biggest sleaze bag in America? We discuss. Full episode: youtu.be/Tk0C4nFOHB0?si…

This is the way. Or... sort of. Because DOJ will make sure U.S. taxpayers pay this fine—rather than any DOJ lawyer—one way or another. Judges have to start sending high-level federal prosecutors and their agents to jail. Nothing fixes this or reestablishes rule of law until that starts happening.

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Ben Smith: I don’t know if Stephen Miller resigns before the midterms, resigns after the midterms, or sticks around. But this feels like that moment when a president puts a lot of confidence in one adviser to steer national policy in a direction that turns out to be politically disastrous.

youtube.com/shorts/DISaq... Heartbreaking to grasp that we are paying taxes to support this inhumanity.

Fascism is here. 🇺🇸 CBS is dead. ☠️ More people will now see this interview Trump tried to bury than ever would have otherwise. 👀

Donald Trump is a threat to democracy around the world. My first, second, and third acts as your next congressman will be to impeach Trump, impeach his cabinet, and codify guardrails to defend our democracy. Join our fight to save democracy here: www.georgeconwayforcongress.com

All told, the strikes by US forces have killed at least 133 people in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

An executive order isn’t the same as a law and can’t by itself change election rules set by Congress. Trump said on Truth Social that there “will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not,” and that he’d issue an executive order if the SAVE America Act fails.

Ohhhhhhhh. Yeah that makes a lot more sense, @stephruhle.bsky.social

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Don Lemon: “I will not be intimidated. I will not back down. I will fight these baseless charges. And I will not be silenced.”

Frey: "Obviously there's progress in that they are leaving right now, but as far as some deal was struck to get them out -- the answer is no. I think what you saw is a federal govt and administration that thought they were going to break the people of Minneapolis down."

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

"This is big brother stuff," Adam Kinzinger says about the Trump DOJ spying on members of Congress as they looked through the Epstein files. "If I was a member of Congress still — and I found out this happened, I'd be furious."

The Golden Age of Trump.

Your American health chief, folks! 🙃🇺🇸

About 200 officers from a range of federal, state, and local agencies descended on an Idaho racetrack. The officers rounded up 400 people, forcing just about everyone onto the track, where, according to the suit, they sorted people by perceived immigration status, typically based on skin color.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

BREAKING Judge Boasberg ORDERS the Trump admin to facilitate the return of the more than 100 men spirited out of the country last year without notice or a hearing. Plaintiffs may also submit habeas petitions from abroad, he says. Doc buff.ly/rccakD7
