New to the ICE Warehouse Tracker: 🔵 = prospective ICE admin support offices, c/o @wired.com’s reporting 🟣 = Existing sites that ICE is trying to reopen for use as detention processing Updated based on official records and CREDIBLE reporting. www.tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

Folks, @projectsaltbox.bsky.social is an extremely helpful and important resource that all of us can use to see whether ICE is trying to buy, build, develop offices or detention centers. And much more. Get this as far and wide as humanly possible.

By Jove, he’s got it! Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: “All these different slogans were heard at the Munich conference, but it comes down to the same thing: Russia is the enemy, and Ukraine must finish it off.”

In one of the most perilous moments in our country's history, with our very Democracy and Constitution hanging in the balance, Mark Kelly is meeting the moment and standing up to Trump's authoritarian attacks. His courage is inspiring to watch. #ResistTrump

Whhyyyyy is there no link to @bsky.app on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social’s eBay page -- the $ that’s benefitting @wck.org? Furthermore, why can’t we see what’s already been sold/bought? ebay.us/m/IiiQ3R

"The Shadow President," @andykroll.bsky.social's deep dive into Russell Vought, has just won a George Polk award for political reporting. The piece chronicles Vought’s rise from the Senate mailroom to his position as one of the most influential players in the Trump administration. Read it here:

A 2023 law change made the CDC director position subject to Senate confirmation starting January 20, 2025. If the administration just keeps cycling through temporary leaders, they don't need Senate confirmation and can keep pushing through their vaccine agenda. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

Brendan Carr, head of the FCC, wrote the chapter on it in Project 2025. It’s hard to know what’s worse: The administration’s efforts to intimidate journalists or CBS’s willingness to cave in. Read here to understand the issues: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I liked learning more about the new governor of Virginia @abigailspanberger.com & maybe you will, too. Here’s a free article 🎁—it might make you wish she were your mother or your friend. I think wouldn’t mind! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

It's genuinely baffling how many people are focusing their comments on the Epstein case to the differences between ephebophilia and pedophilia. We have a case of global sex-trafficking and blackmail involving many of the most powerful men in the world and they're dismissing it as a moral panic?!?

This one’s for you, bro riding that e-scooter on the sidewalk pavement today (you giant hostile baby) & then shouting @ *me* for muttering (srsly, I mumbled) to you that you’re not supposed to be on the sidewalk & you know it. #walking

Here's the 🔑 thing about the FCC and the "equal-time rule:" The agency's powers are limited. The enforcement possibilities are "minimal, in terms of real jeopardy," public interest lawyer Andrew Jay Schwartzman told me today. Thus my new headline here: www.cnn.com/2026/02/18/m...

Oversight Democrats are not backing down. If Les Wexner claims he doesn’t remember, then he needs to turn over his financial records and let the money tell the story. Survivors deserve justice. It’s time for the cover-up to end.

Proudly ignorant, this Patel fellow (and fwiw, I couldn’t care less what he looks like).

3) Maryland officials were onsite within hours of the leak to help coordinate the response and protect the public. We will continue to partner with regional leaders.

2) Maryland agencies and DC Water presented updates on the cleanup during a two-hour legislative hearing. Trump’s EPA was invited. They refused to attend.

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

If only we had a press. Or a DOJ.

I’m ready on the stump! This! #IAmSomebody (Disclaimer: I’m not a child of god, just of my parents having had sex.)

“We’re not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission. Our mission to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to house the homeless, to teach the illiterate, to provide jobs for the jobless, and to choose the human race over the nuclear race.” Jessie Jackson REST IN PEACE

Remembering Jessie Jackson. Keep hope alive! His message has never been more important than it is right now.

What can you do today? Mark your calendars for the People's State of the Union on 2/24 with @katiephang.bsky.social and @joyannreid.bsky.social! #unite

What can I do? Here are five actions you can take, thanks to @rbreich.bsky.social. youtu.be/8W-lVRQQGtI?...

What can you do today? Realize that this regime is building concentration camps around the country that are bigger than our immigrant population. Ask yourself "who is next?" Start resisting now while you're on the outside. #resist

ICE is terrorizing our country. It’s time to stand up and fight back. Join us this Saturday in Austin: tinyurl.com/stopICErally

Former President of the Texas AFL-CIO endorses James Talarico: "He is the path to victory for us. We're gonna work hard every day to get you elected to the United States Senate because our country needs you."

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

The Dept. of War started announcing WEXMAC TITUS awardees in September, and the most recent list dropped on Friday. One new vendor is GEO Group, the private prison company that already runs some of ICE's most brutal prisons. CoreCivic, another private prison group, was an earlier awardee.

Perhaps most telling is that by signing onto the WEXMAC TITUS program, vendors are contractually not allowed to refuse ICE jobs. “So if there was a US citizen—a baby, or someone sick that clearly shouldn’t be there—the contractor can’t say they don’t want to take them," a fed worker told me.

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Trump can't steal the midterms. I say that not as a call for complacency, but to right-size worries. Authoritarianism partially exists in our heads. Excessive fear plays into their hands. Be vigilant but don't panic. Don't grant the regime more power than it actually has. Me, in @thebulwark.com:

"Let us be clear: Lauren was terminated for exercising her First Amendment rights on her private account. By retaliating against [her]...the university has signaled that “civility” is merely a weapon used to enforce viewpoint conformity." www.mississippifreepress.org/opinion-the-...

I’m in full agreement with ⬇️. She is a sadist among sadists.

Why Russia may have turned to dart‑frog toxin epibatidine to poison Navalny

Ok, sorry for the delay on this one, but I had to do extra research and networking on this one because, shocker, I don’t know everything about every department at SSA and phone rep training is not something I have had to do. Obviously this is not the correct way to handle this so let’s dive in. 😬😬😬

FACT: It is *already* illegal for non-US citizens to vote. The so-called “SAVE America Act” is nothing more than a voter suppression bill and a modern-day poll tax.

Take efforts to weaken child labor laws. Proponents say weaker laws will give families flexibility and develop teen skills and work ethic. But in reality, weaker laws just make it easier for employers to mistreat and underpay workers, including both kids and adults. www.epi.org/publication/...

And I'd add to the list deregulation. Which is less about eliminating so-called "inefficiencies" than about stripping away protections for people at the bottom of the hierarchy and denying them any legal recourse.

Remarkably she was one of the administrations top liars

This news weighs on my heart. I’m grieving the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, giant of the civil rights movement, whose faith and fearless advocacy pushed America closer to its promise. His voice stirred our conscience, and his legacy forged the path that makes my work possible.

As attacks on our voting rights ramp up, we're fighting back by: ✔️ demanding Congress reject the SAVE America Act ✔️ protecting voters' sensitive data from the Trump administration ✔️ challenging New Hampshire’s restrictions on voter registration ✔️ suing over Ohio's voter purge law and more.
