“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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.

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG: “I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.” The ad aged. The internet remembers.

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech. Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.

The SAVE Act isn’t about voter ID. It is a weapon aimed at voter registration. No passport? No birth certificate in your hand? You are shut out. Women, students, military families, low income Americans get hit first. Republicans know it. Call 202-224-3121. #HandsOffHerVote

This administration is a criminal administration.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

👀 👀

Massie: "I vote with the president 91% of the time. The 9% of the time my party is taking for pedophiles, bankrupting this country, or starting another war, I don't vote with them. And they want 100% compliance. That's why they're trying to take me out."

Massie accused Lutnick of being in business with Epstein “many years after” his conviction in 2008.

👇👇

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, exploiting children, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA: “Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH” Please share everywhere!

ONLY BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT......... 👇

Confederacy of Grifters led by the Grifter-in-Chief

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

When Voting day arrives..it would benefit the Democratic Voters to hang around outside the Polling Places in massive numbers..this was suggested by one of my State Democratic Reps who is awesome...organize it.. this is how can make it safe for your fellow Citizens to Vote in Person...

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

At least the Times is cleared-eyed about this. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Judge rules members of Congress can inspect all ICE detention centers without appointment. "...DHS Sec. Kristi Noem re-implemented a notice requirement…..[which] required 7-days’ warning for visits to [ICE] facilities... funded exclusively by the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’..." thehill.com/regulation/c...

It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...

Washington Post is shuttering its book section, part of the ongoing war against literacy & knowledge. We at Current Affairs want to pick up the slack by expanding book reviews. Writers: pitch us anytime! And if you subscribe/donate we'll use the funding to commission book coverage.

I wish I had practiced my "shocked face" more.

Sadly, this is NOT satire.

TRUTH.. #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Mike Johnson: "GOD FORBID we do what the US Constitution requires us to do! And GOD FORBID we use some of that $190 BILLION DOLLARS from the Big Bullshit Bill that was given to DHS to actually fund competent immigration judges who can ensure due process for ALL people, regardless of citizenship!"

Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people on Earth, just eliminated hundreds of union jobs at the Washington Post. Solidarity with @postguild.bsky.social. Join them tomorrow, February 5 at 12:00 p.m. for a rally to #SaveThePost.

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

It is coming up. Not sure if there's enough votes or people to push it through yet, but it keeps coming up. Hopefully we will get there.

💯

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Where Is The OUTRAGE ? Chump Must Be Held Accountable......

Are we embarrassed yet?

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals. When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.
