Rep Jayapal: “Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed history of exactly what emails I searched — we’re going to demand an end to that” Rep Raskin: "Spying on Members of Congress conducting oversight in yet another blatant attempt to intrude into Congress’s oversight processes"

JUST IN: Another judge blocks Trump admin policy allowing immigration enforcement at churches. Judge Dennis Saylor (GWBush/MA) grants preliminary injunction for some branches of Evangelical Lutheran Church. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

To be fair, The Breakthrough Institute’s new executive director, Alex Trembath, has spent the last couple of days on Twitter disparaging the Endangerment Finding and Clean Air Act while pushing for deregulatory permitting reform. Speaks volumes. If Ayn Rand was a think tank, it’d be BTI.

Terse, throwaway have-your-cake-&-eat-it-too motivated reasoning that won't fool judges across the country facing existing & now more new climate change lawsuits against big polluters by states, counties, cities & citizens. The plaintiffs' bar should donate to Zeldin's next political run. #GHGFAFO

Oil companies & other big industrial polluters should be terrified by EPA's phantasmagorical pretzel logic in disclaiming authority over climate-changing pollution under 1 part of the CAA while arguing another part 'preempts' federal & state common-law suits. www.epa.gov/system/files... (pp.205-206)

Here's how bad EPA's voodoo economics is in repealing the clean car standards: they assign a ZERO DOLLAR VALUE to increased smog & soot pollution, increased asthma, bronchitis, respiratory disease, hospitalizations, missed work & school days & STILL cost Americans $180 BILLION in overall costs. 1/

Open up the hood of Trump's EPA clown car & you find EPA & Zeldin manufacture the bogus claim of cost savings from repealing the clean car standards only by considering fuel savings from more efficient cars for 2.5 years (!), rather than a car's lifetime. Considering the latter = $180B in net COSTS.

The harmful, costly, twisted consequences to Americans from the Trump EPA & Lee "Heir Pollutant" Zeldin repealing the clean car standards: $180 BILLION in net societal costs.

EPA's historically atrocious repeal of the scientific finding that climate-changing air pollution endangers health & the environment comes with a document purporting to analyze the impacts of the repeal. The word "health" appears ... ONCE, in a passage unrelated to any analysis of health impacts. 1/

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump is convicted of child molestation against 2 children He attempted to keep one victim quiet by claiming he would receive $10 million from the Trump administration as restitution for former Jan. 6 defendants and would share the money with the victim in his will 😑🖕

This reckless, destructive step will join a long list of actions by Trump that the U.S. reverses. But future generations--including the children & grandchildren of the politicians, officials & pundits that supported this--will hold special scorn for this attack. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

FDA's decision not to accept Moderna's flu vaccine filing has sent shock waves through pharma. "When there’s uncertainty about the path to approval & the reliability of the process, that really has pretty serious consequences,” one player told @jasonmast.bsky.social. www.statnews.com/2026/02/12/f...

More evidence ad infinitum that the Trump administration treats governance & the Rule of Law like a midnight Truth Social screed, an opportunity for posturing press conferences, a MAGA fist-fight, not a responsibility to Americans to make their lives better, enforce the law, care about the planet.

Fact check: true.

One more quick thread, and then I'm getting out of here to walk my dog in the sun. I think a lot about the authoritarian personality. I won't start going on about that because this thread would last forever, but I just want to say one thing about it.

BREAKING: The Trump administration's EPA rescinded the 2009 endangerment finding that determined that climate pollution is a threat to public health and welfare and is core to much of the climate policy that followed.

Eliminating cleaner standards for vehicles, power plants & oil & gas drilling will mean dirtier vehicles, power plants & drilling—producing more smog, soot, & more hazardous air pollution *in addition to* more climate-changing pollution. Zeldin's pledge is a fraud across multiple air pollutants.

To be fair, Zeldin's voice registers at 432 Hz, the same as sleep apps.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

And dirty, dangerous, costly, and destined to continue being replaced by cleaner, cheaper power sources.

Bill Kristol: The anti-semites pretty clearly have the upper hand within MAGA. "It has routinely opposed efforts to kick right-wing antisemites out of its political coalition...White House employees who brag in leaked texts about having a “Nazi streak” don’t even lose their administration jobs..."

The new Washington Post should start a reader poll for what other ideological opinions they want the Trump administration to spoonfeed the Post’s editorial board.

Democracy dies in darkness.™️

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

The WaPost has stopped publishing the names of its editorial board, so the public cannot see who wrote the awful, humiliating editorial praising the Trump EPA for declaring greenhouse gas pollution harmless. And now Trump propagandists gloat over ‘working’ that ed board. bsky.app/profile/clim...

Impossible for me to fathom how a publication like the @washingtonpost.com could survive the revelation that propagandists in the administration literally feed it the stories and opinions they want it to print--and the Post just does it.

This all makes sense now: the “EPA press team”—given credit for ‘working’ the despicable Washington Post editorial that reads like a Daily Caller right-wing fever dream—literally includes the Daily Caller’s former editor-in-chief. www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

But Missouri does subsidize data centers, so priorities..

Even as measles cases rise in the states, the trust in the mmr vaccine is falling. So much disinformation been given about this and other vaccines by Kennedy and his team that one can’t help but wonder if he his denting vaccine confidence… #MMR #HealthPolicy

In case anyone's wondering how Jeff Bezos feels about climate policy these days, the Washington Post editorial board just heartily endorsed Trump ripping up the EPA's "endangerment finding," which allows the federal government to regulate greenhouse gases as pollutants.

"Great job by WH/EPA press team that worked this piece" from lunatic climate denier Mandy Gunasekara, one of the architects of the illegal reversal of the greenhouse pollution endangerment finding

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Lands different when you misread trolls.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

When you go to your cranky boss's house and re-gift him a cheap bottle of wine you never meant to drink.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise. BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

what is with these people and dogs?
