John Barron making guest appearances in 2026 was not on my bingo card. Imagine being nearly 80 and still calling into TV under an alias. Cringe.

I wonder how uninsured Americans feel about the US sending a hospital ship to a country with free healthcare and 5 hospitals. 5 hospitals may not sound like much, but their entire population is 56,740. www.cnn.com/2026/02/21/p...

COVER UP!!! DOJ Scrubs Record of Interviews With Trump Accuser From Epstein Files. The FBI interviewed one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims four times over her allegation that Donald Trump assaulted her when she was underage. newrepublic.com/post/206765/...

ICE kidnapped a 16 yo with legal status in MN then shipped him to a DeVos associated facility in MI where he was given five vaccines. www.startribune.com/how-ice-labe...

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

The spouse of Trump's Sec of Labor (who is under investigation for having a sexual relationship with an employee and spending taxpayer funds on strip clubs) has been banned from visiting her office on account of alleged sexual misconduct. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/b...

Rep. Massie to introduce “No Immunity for Glyphosate Act” to undo Trump Executive Order that calls for glyphosate production increase AND shields its manufacturer from liability. One day before Trump issued the EO, Bayer agreed to pay $7.25 BILLION to settle lawsuits claiming RoundUp causes cancer.

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

Bored of Peace

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured? Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

The U.S. Department of Defense has barred military personnel from enrolling in courses at many of the nation’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Johns Hopkins. A leaked email is said to contain the full list of affected schools. Shared by MeidasTouch.

The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it. Seems kinda bad?

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3314):

“He knows those computers better than anybody, all those vote counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide, so it was pretty good, so thank you to Elon!” - Donald Trump

A Trump ally who helped spread lies about the 2020 election in hopes of overturning the verdict of the voters is now Trump's "director of election security and integrity." @shawnmccreesh.bsky.social @alexandraberzon.bsky.social @nytnickc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found. The government keeps doing it nonetheless. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

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.

Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis was shot in the leg during the incident. Another Venezuelan man was also accused of attacking an immigration officer.

🚨 Dept of Homeland Security is sending tech companies administrative subpoenas for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize ICE agents Google, Meta & Reddit complied 🎁 @nytimes.com

Good morning to everyone who’s never snorted cocaine off a toilet seat. Not you. 👇

A cabinet full of self-promoting, incompetent blowhards, led by... a self-promoting, incompetent blowhard. I still can't fathom how any Senator voted to confirm these clowns. And wonder if they hold themselves in any way accountable for what has followed. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

".. Wilkinson has been with CBP for almost 25 years and was promoted in 2021 to a supervisory role, where his duties included overseeing the enforcement of immigration laws .."

Karoline Leavitt describes the FBI as part of the Trump administration

Fucking idiots.

DHS: "We need military-grade lasers for border security." Pentagon: "Okay, here." DHS: Immediately vaporizes a party balloon and accidentally grounds every flight in El Paso. > Proof that if you give someone a weapon, they WILL find a target—even if that target was just filled with helium. 🎈💥

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

It’s the Epstein Administration. No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting. H/T: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

In recent weeks, it’s been an octogenarian Democrat with no national footprint who has been making some of the biggest waves online: Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas. The latest edition of The Opposition from @lauren-egan.bsky.social:

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. You read that right - Trump is just that amazing.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Seems like it was a bad idea to give these incompetent jokers tens of billions of dollars to buy all the military equipment and weaponry they can get their hands on

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist. Cool. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

"So, what better distraction than to rally his base with military operations that violate Mexican sovereignty? The El Paso story is still developing, but I believe that’s where this is going. I believe that’s the play Trump is making."

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Pure corruption of the crudest sort. And Lutnick and Trump are in on it. A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.

KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right? LUTNICK: I don't know K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level? L: I don't know K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

Why did convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein pay Ohio State University’s head of gynecology quarterly payments of thousands of dollars??? 😡😡 www.nbc4i.com/news/local-n...

This is the GOP. Let's create a thought police to round up Bad Bunny fans. Pathetic.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

Here’s another reason to vote against every Republican in November.👇 Their dear leader is building concentration camps. In America. He’s fucking building concentration camps in this country.

Authoritarian governments always go after universities first, b/c free inquiry produces critics. Canceling Harvard’s military education programs and dressing it up as “building lethality” is about keeping future officers away from independent centers of thought that might question Trump’s power.
