ICE agents: you’re being played. That “$50,000 bonus”? It’s a leash—paid in pieces over 5 years. Quit or miss targets and you lose the rest…or pay it back. That’s a trap. And people will remember the fear, humiliation, harm. Walk away. Choose law. Choose people. gofund.me/fe75ae02f

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

Russia isn’t winning this war. Not even close. The propaganda has shifted because they can’t sell “victory” anymore, now it’s all damage limitation and consolidation.

We are looking at $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid over the next decade. They don’t want you to know this, but that’s how they paid for tax cuts for the wealthy.

National Governors Association annual meeting in DC with the President. All 50 governors always meet with the president. Trump says nope, invites only Republican governors to meet with him. He’s by far the most hateful, most divisive person in America today. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

That there were 150 hot Latinas dancing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show and the Republicans saw 2 dudes dancing together somewhere in the mix says more about Republicans men than anything else.

Congressman wants to round up and deport people who liked Bad Bunny’s show. This is the Republican Party.

“Everyone…should use the new state-level proof that noncitizen voting is virtually nonexistent to push back against the real danger to our democracy: craven politicians using the issue to undermine our free and fair elections.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/o...

Trump posted more than 60 times on Truth Social last night, but he handed his phone to an “unknown staffer” when the video depicting the Obamas as apes was posted? GTFOH

Trump’s best friend Jeff Epstein was worried about Trump’s dementia way back in 2017. How bad do you think it is now?

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH. Good god what a child

So now he's worried about young children...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics Good times.

"Trump’s new order, inaugurated with his assault on USAID, is now corroding America’s influence and standing and leaving global leaders with little choice but to treat the United States as an erratic adversary rather than a stable ally." (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/o...

“The brutality of USAID’s closure and the disregard for the human toll betrayed a vision of a crueler, meaner, more insular world, one in which America aspires not to any pretense of moral leadership but simply to naked power, dominance and extractive self-interest.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/o...

This is a wild departure from past practices. All the talk of the “Worst of the Worst” is a lie. Usually between 50-75 percent of ICE deportees have criminal records. We’ve turned ICE from a crime-fighting org into a racial profiling and ethnic cleansing operation.

“Politicizing the military is not just bad governance—it’s dangerous for the country. It erodes public trust, undermines civilian control, dishonors service members and weakens one of America’s most respected institutions.” www.newsweek.com/adam-kinzing...

The US should lose its seat at the negotiating table. Europe is funding the resistance while Trump cuts aid and parrots Kremlin talking points. He is clearly failing to reach peace because he is betting on Ukraine's collapse. Trump out!

OTD in 2022 I gave Emmanuel Macron my personal assurances that I would not invade Ukraine. So you can trust any promise we make now.

The United States doesn’t give weapons to defender Ukraine. The U.S. doesn’t give humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian civilians. The U.S. puts no pressure on Russia to leave Ukraine. The United States cannot lead diplomacy to end Russia’s war as it is on the aggressor’s side.

“Let’s blame the Black people for racism.”

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help snyder.substack.com/p/the-long-u...

Donald Trump Jr, who has exactly zero experience or competence in manufacturing or defense, has received more than $600,000,000 in contracts from Pete Hegseth's "Department of War."

Imagine a CEO posting that racist video on their personal account, their chief spokesperson defending it and keeping it up for 12 hours, then blaming a “staffer” for “erroneously” posting it… and neither the CEO nor the spokesperson having to resign.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling. In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...
