I have never been able to vote in a meaningful presidential election as anything but a token observer. Most states are also in this situation. You can't argue this. It's basic reality.

But not a NM hospital, right representative? You picked private equity over New Mexicans.

Damn, maybe you should tell your member of Congress so they can get off their asses and do the bare minimum.

I think it's very funny when American members of Congress gesture at what other governments are doing and ask the public "Why don't we do it THAT way?" Yes indeed. Why do we not do that. If only there were elected officials who could work on that. Do you know any, Melanie?

But I was told that we're not letting criminal scumbags in anymore... inews.co.uk/news/tommy-r...

Just to be clear: @letsgomathias.bsky.social and @philinvestigates.com are the best of us. This interview rocks. substack.com/@philinvesti...

Let's catch up on the latest from the Alt National Park Service! Here are all of AltNPS's stolen or missing sources for the week of February 16th, 2026🧵:

Figures show Venezuela's public debt sits at roughly 180 percent of its GDP as the country struggles with tumult.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Sanders: The other day, Trump said, “We are living in the best economy in the history of the world.” Well, he’s right — for him and his billionaire friends, he’s exactly right. But not for ordinary Americans.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Frost: When the people can't trust their government, that is the sign of a backsliding democracy. And it's part of the reason why people like Kristi Noem should not be in these positions anymore.

Frost: We just can't trust them to investigate themselves because they've shown us time and time and again that they're not interested in justice and they're interested in covering their own asses from the Epstein investigation to ICE and DHS

I appreciate the burn, but I don’t want her passionate about “homeland security.” I want it abolished.

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have? • She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall. • She’s deported fewer people than Obama. • She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters. Why hasn’t he fired her?

I told everyone a few (?) months back I predict Trump will eventually turn on him. We shall see if I’m right.

Wow…. Jennifer Jenkins doesn’t hold back when asked about Randy Fine.

🇨🇦I can pretty much guarantee that absolutely no one wants to be 'cute' with Trump. We aren't playing.

JFC

Trump on the arrest of former prince Andrew: I’m the expert because I’ve been totally exonerated. I think it’s a shame. To me, it’s a very sad thing. I’ve been totally exonerated.

Today is the Day of Remembrance: Feb. 19, some 64 years since FDR signed EO 9066, which authorized the military to round up and incarcerate Japanese American civilians on the West Coast, leading to the eventual placement of 120,000 people in concentration camps. open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...

it's beginning...

Pedophile math

CBP gives billionaires pedophiles the red carpet and the public bullets and beatings. How about that?

All together now: Hope he's not Ted Cruz.

Are the CBP officers names redacted? (They shouldn't be)

Why exactly do we have a Dept of Homeland Security?

"We Brooklyn Boys stick together," one CBP supervisor texted Epstein. "Atta boy", Epstein responded. In November 2016, Epstein texted the supervisor that another CBP officer had been “nasty”. “I will speak to him!” the supervisor responded. “I will handle it, formally.”

The FBI investigated Epstein's relationship with 1 CBP officer, and issued subpoenas about three others. The Guardian found direct communications with two more. CBP claims to be “uniquely situated to deter and disrupt human trafficking”.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

hahaha seriously though we should charge these people as child sex traffickers

When I said I wasn't a fan of "teaching the controversy" this isn't what I meant

The last time I recall seeing the picture of a country's leader all over its state buildings and institutions was Saddam Hussein

Huh? The guy who founded Playboy had nudes of young girls? The guy who lived in a bathrobe & had blow out parties? Who would believe it? Old, saggy, wealthy white guys; is there ever enough for them? And a 60 yr age gap kinda gives it away. 🤮But she's "shocked!" www.huffpost.com/entry/hugh-h...

The hypocrisy of these people is astonishing. Now the whole U of TX system is a safe space for snowflakes

Dale Partridge also has thoughts about the household vote. Also, Partridge has said that interracial marriages—including his own!—are “not ideal.”

Where's his girlfriend?

It would be nice if we had a congress and court system to stop this and our forthcoming imperial adventure in Iran.

Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act last year for good reason: it’s an anti-voter bill. But now lawmakers have revived it despite overwhelming public opposition. Tell Congress to reject the SAVE Act: bit.ly/4tmVIor

No one sucks trump off like Pamela bondi
