Pretty sure every trump property is bugged and has cameras. He is still epsteining. And he has properties for rich people all over the world. This is a black mail empire.

It’s basically a prerequisite for employment in the regime.

The Hungarian government has taken the highly confrontational step of blocking the EU’s €90 billion financial lifeline to Ukraine. The timing is hardly coincidental, given Viktor Orbán’s troubles in the election race back home. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/hung...

California is helping lead a multi-state lawsuit against RFK Jr. and the CDC for illegally removing 7 childhood vaccines from the federal list of universally recommended shots. We're not sitting back while the Trump Administration threatens kids with preventable diseases.

Classic headline today on @demfromct.bsky.social's pundit roundup. And quite the selection of poll numbers to back it up. Also, more Epstein and Iran. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

In Indiana, there are 8 GOP state Senators who are running for reelection this year after voting to sink Trump's gerrymander. MAGA Republicans have vowed to defeat them. But one of these incumbent's sole primary challengers just dropped out: www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

NEW: North Carolina has cracked down on the discretion of local prosecutors, sheriffs, & judges; laws are forcing sheriffs to comply with ICE, and ballooning jails. Now that preemption looms large over local elections in the liberal enclave of Asheville. Great reporting by @psfrench.bsky.social:

Eye-popping margins in the Pennsylvania special elections today: —Democrats won HD94 by 63 points. (Harris won it by 30 in 2024.) —Democrats won HD42 by 35 points. (Harris won it by 17 in 2024.) [The 2024 numbers are via the essential @the-downballot.com].

Bloomberg reports on Hungary’s elections in 7 weeks:k “Support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban crumbled less than seven weeks before a parliamentary election, according to a new poll, raising the prospect of a landslide victory for Peter Magyar’s opposition Tisza party.”

We are winning the political fight against DHS, but we need to keep up the pressure. Though Senate Democrats are currently holding strong by neither watering down their demands nor signaling they will cave, we’ve seen this movie before — and we must urge Dems to keep holding the line on DHS funding.

Your messaging is making a difference! 68% say trump has the wrong priorities. NYT gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/u...

An elite unit of Portugal’s Public Prosecutor’s Office is taking over a money laundering probe into Elvira Gavrilova Paterson, the Ukrainian producer of an upcoming Kevin Spacey film and associate of accused crypto fraudster Vladimir Okhotnikov.

"Trump’s State of the Union was historic in at least one respect: It was the longest SOTU ever. Was the plan to turn public opinion around by boring America into submission?" 😀 It was also a very strong competitor for the Most Lie Filled SOTU medal Here's a good breakdown of some of the many lies.

$170 billion for ICE to snatch people off streets while our hospitals close, our schools shrink, and healthcare vanishes—Trump calls it victory. We call it robbery of the American promise. #TrumpsStateOfDelusion #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Apart from their rapacious predatory treatment of women and children, the Epstein class thrive on disaster capitalism. Here’s Epstein enjoying Russia annexing Crimea. Next up, rubbing his hands over Brexit

expensive. The check goes to the government, but the people pay it at the register. 2/2

PSA: A tariff is a tax your government puts on imports, but importers usually pass that cost to stores, and stores pass it to you. So prices rise on food, clothes, parts, and electronics. Even domestic companies often raise prices too because foreign competition got more 1/2

Politicians from the far-right Alternative for Germany are facing accusations of using their positions to hand cushy jobs to family members. In a crowded election year, that could become a problem for the party. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/germ...

Ukraine Stops Russian-Backed Assassination Plot. In a statement on Feb 20, the SBU said the rewards were reportedly offered for carrying out contract killings of prominent Ukrainians under Russia’s orders. Firearms, ammunition, combat grenades, and communication equipment were seized.

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Zelensky: Norway is among the most active investors in the PURL program. Today, it is already $970 million within the framework of PURL. We also greatly appreciate every military package that the Norwegians have provided us.

Susan Collins Is Facing a Revolt in Maine It's early, but the writing is on the wall. We are going to flip a lot of Senate seats too. I'm talking Ohio, Texas, and Maine! Republicans are desperate & it will get worse. Guard your vote! Monitor your registration. Vote early!

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Congressional Democrats who boycotted President Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday gathered at a rally outside the Capitol, accusing him of dividing the country and harming Americans through his immigration, health care and economic policies.

Important thread and article by Greg Sargent about ICE and CBP stockpiling military-style weaponry. They claim they‘re targeting the “worst of the worst” undocumented immigrants, but it looks more and more like the target is any American who refuses to submit to the regime.

Didn’t watch the State of the Union address? Here’s everything you need to know about it. And you’ll definitely want to know. Here’s your response to anyone who says he was presidential last night: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

MAGA lawmakers are calling for Rep. Tony Gonzales to resign after the release of disturbing sexual texts he sent to one of his staffers, who later lit herself on fire. House Speaker Mike Johnson is holding back as the GOP clings to a slim majority.

Most Americans don’t invest in the stock market. And whatever the Dow might be trading at right now, it isn’t lowering the price of beef (which is up 15% under Trump)

Starmer publicly condemned a death threat made to Farage last year. Farage refused to condemn a death threat made to a Labour MP by a member of his own ‘party’ today, or discipline them. Farage has no standards, and no backbone. He’s nothing more than a vile opportunistic hypocrite. #PMQs

🇦🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky: I am grateful Australia for the new single largest sanctions package against Russia since February 2022. It includes 180 individuals, entities, and shadow fleet vessels. These measures directly reduce the Kremlin’s revenues and weaken its war machine.

Best quote I heard tonight was Gov Abigail Spanberger on Trump’s immigration policy: “Every minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children, or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings.”

Abigail Spanberger brought exactly what this moment demands in her State of the Union response — steady, pragmatic leadership focused on lowering costs, keeping communities safe, and restoring stability. You made Virginia proud, @abigailspanberger.com.

Nailed it

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

During President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address, Democratic Rep. Al Green was escorted from the House chamber after holding a sign that read “Black people aren't apes!” calling the protest a stand against normalizing racism #NOH8

Mexico’s President Sheinbaum: “All operations are conducted by federal forces. There is no involvement from the US in the operations.” “The entire operation, from its planning onward, was done by the federal forces, specifically the Secretariat of National Defense.”

Trump: I've always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I'm not allowed to give it to myself. But if they ever open up that law, I will be there with you someday
