When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

Putting the practice of science at the whims of private billionaire funders ... what could go wrong?

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Apparently TurningPoint USA, the right-wing dipshit group, is pouring money into utility-board elections in Arizona, purportedly to fight off the "green new deal" 🙄. @charlesxhua.bsky.social, you on this?

Trump claimed he hadn't spoken to Jeffrey Epstein since 2004. But here is an email from 2018 wherein Epstein claims he was asked for 3 names to replace Steven Mnuchin. Everything Donald says is a lie.

Wow, that’s convincing.

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting." What was the upcoming administration in December2016? Oh!

Say what you want about Trump, but at least he's transparent with his corruption

The Wall Street Journal story on Noem and Lewandowski is just a bus running over them, backing up, running over them again, and on and on. A line of admin officials waiting to get their turn at the wheel. Paywalled at WSJ, free at MSN (good biz model) www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Another reason to oppose Trump’s attempt to take over elections through the SAVE Act.

Here are some better headline ideas which would all be more accurate: “Fossil fuel industry, EPA, declares science irrelevant to policy” “Scientists unified about the dangers of policy change” “EPA officially replaced by coal lobby” “Administration sticks fingers in ears, dooming humanity”

Please journalists: scientific findings don’t get “revoked” by politicians. They can be challenged or contradicted by other scientists in the presence of new evidence, sure. That didn’t happen here. Every new piece of climate science since the endangerment finding supports the original thesis.

This. It would be really, really great if Democrats would start *consistently* calling out the way that the media is led around like f'ing children by the right-wing hate machine. Don't just accept the frame. Call out the frame. Force viewers to confront the frame. It's so f'ing basic.

All those kids & nurses & mechanics & service workers that we are deporting? It costs us $133,333 a head. Again: we are spending $133,333 per migrant worker that we deport.

Todd Blanche is very mad at Ro Khanna for daring to publish the friendly Epstein email from a 2016 GOP presidential candidate bragging about more votes than Jeb Bush, and asking the name be unredacted. Blanche insists Ro's post be taken down to "protect" a "victim." www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epst...

These goons deserve to be shamed and shunned for the rest of eternity, and by their own friends and family, too.

The number of children in federal custody has climbed sharply since President Trump revived the practice of detaining immigrant families last year. Hundreds of children have since been held at a detention center in Dilley, Texas, where families describe poor conditions. trib.al/c0Wufj7

This story is based on extensive reporting and interviews with physicians, including those who have cared directly for patients with measles. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Elon Musk, who formally distanced himself from the White House last year, hasn’t stopped trying to influence American politics.

In 2021, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney & I begged Dems to heed FDR's long-forgotten warning about the link between economic hardship & authoritarianism. 5 years later, a few new-generation Dems including @aoc.bsky.social are amplifying that warning. This is progress.

Trump: "There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!"

Jeffries: "Y'all saw the embarrassing display by the so-called attorney general the other day. Who would trust her or the weaponized DOJ to independently investigate wrongdoing by Trump administration officials or by ICE agents? That's a reasonable demand. It's also a hard line in the sand."

For more on how conditions at Dilley are affecting children, read my latest for @nbcnews.com

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

It's a sign that things are changing that Dems are now circulating strategy memos saying they can take this issue on directly.

This this a thousand times this. The foundation of almost every problem we have is a wealth inequality problem (which also ties into this country’s particular history of racism and white supremacy).

I think the thing that enrages me the most about Musk is that he presents himself as some sci-fi nerd hero doing everything possible to save humanity by going to new planets. If your plan for saving humanity doesn’t include the people already on earth, you’re just a racist piece of shit.

NEW: Workers at the Social Security Administration have been told to share information about in-person appointments with ICE agents, WIRED has learned, in a move that goes against decades of precedent and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

In other words, the vast majority of the $45 billion in reconciliation funding is going to go to the new system of warehouse detention camps. The other $6.8 billion will presumably serve mainly to keep the existing system of detention running without any other major changes.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Federal judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court has got to do a better job of explaining emergency rulings, with frequent decisions in favor of Trump at least appearing to validate harsh criticism of the judiciary at a time of rising threats: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel. One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

Bad POTUS

Peak irony is environmental lawyer and “MAHA” spin master RobertKennedyJr serving as our top health official just as the goons EPA destroy that agency and bring back toxic smoke and acid rain.

"Previous estimates showed the US economy generated 584,000 jobs in 2025, the first year of Trump’s second term, which was deeply discouraging. Now, the picture is far worse: The newly revised, final data shows that the U.S. economy actually added only 181,000 jobs..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

BREAKING: We now have a good idea of why Trump rushed to contact PBPD—one of the first to do so—when he learned Epstein was under investigation in 2007. It was a CYA; per his pal Lutnick, it was widely believed Epstein had blackmail on men he'd been hanging out with.

🚨 This is another win for Big Oil and other big polluters at the expense of everyone else. Instead of giving polluters a free ride, we should pass my Polluters Pay bill to make them — not all of us — pay the bill for the huge amount of damage they’ve caused.

Literally millions of people worldwide will needlessly suffer & die because of this.

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family. It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

BREAKING: DOJ moves to drop criminal charges in alleged shovel/broom attack in Minneapolis that led ICE to open fire. "Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit," prosecutors say. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Once again, a reminder that you now live in a country where there are two classes of citizenship, & approximately 26 million of us are being reminded on a regular basis by the far right authoritarian party that we have the lesser kind.
