HAYES: “The target turned out to be 4 party balloons… No Mexican cartel drones. Just Border Patrol agents with a borrowed experimental space laser shooting at (party balloons).”🎪 The Trump regime, folks 🤦🏼- Bondi, Duffy etc all lied about why El Paso airport shut down.🎈

Deciding it’s too dangerous to reveal just how unpopular the current president is seems like the worst poll result ever.

EPSTEIN Trials NOW! 🤬

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."

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.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

Trump protects and hides his raping young girls by hiring and appointing only pedophiles. Now we know the rest of the story. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks #SheShed

I spent the morning at the DOJ looking at the unredacted Epstein files. Here are my initial thoughts and what I’ve found, so far.

Another Ukrainian athlete says IOC barred helmet honoring 'Ukrainian bravery' at Olympics Kateryna Kotsar, a Ukrainian freestyle skier, said on Feb. 10 that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) barred her from using a custom helmet with the inscription "Be Brave like Ukra...

deAdder does it brilliantly

“I have friends, school, and family here in the United States,” he said of his home in San Antonio, Texas. “To this day, I don’t know what we did wrong to be detained.” He ended with a plea, “I feel like I’ll never get out of here. I just ask that you don’t forget about us.”

Worth reading. I think Bad Bunny's performance feels spot-on this year because a lot of Americans suddenly find themselves feeling the way some in the PR have felt for decades: their home is being enshittified by the American government

As goes the Washington Post: US democracy takes another hit under Trump @theguardian.com JOHNSON’S RESPONSE MAY GO DOWN IN THE ANNALS OF AMERICAN MEDIA HISTORY: “I WAS JUST LAID OFF BY THE WASHINGTON POST IN THE MIDDLE OF A WARZONE.” “I HAVE NO WORDS.“ www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

It’s no longer up for debate. Trump is a stone-cold racist, and this administration is the vehicle for his policies. The pattern isn’t subtle.

Looking forward to a great game and an awesome halftime show As for me…

I wrote about Tulsi Gabbard and her endless pro-Trump sycophantic U-turns on the 2020 election, on Iran, and on Venezuela.

Militarized immigration enforcement near our schools and bus stops is every parent’s worst nightmare. ICE’s operations are emptying classrooms and traumatizing our kids. Minnesota educators are fighting in court to stop it for good.

THIS is a man with decency and integrity…

📆 Monday, Feb 16, 2026 📢Presidents' Day ⏰ 1:00pm 📍 Trump Tower, 725 5th Ave NYC Express how you feel about Trump and ICE! Join us in protest. All expressions welcome, as long as it’s nonviolent.

A massive scandal. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi refusing to investigate the murders of American citizens to cover up Trump administration culpability.

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

This is America now ! A 10-year-old Minnesota girl, taken by ICE and shipped off to a distant detention facility in Texas, has finally been released after a month in custody. School officials say hundreds of other children remain detained at the facility. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Ha, wonder what was going through soon-to-be-former Rep. Ben Cline (R-V06)'s (and Trump's) mind when Rep. Jonathan Jackson referred to "the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis." bluevirginia.us/2026/02/thur... h/t @atrupar.com

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol. That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress. I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.

Thousands of protesters here in Albuquerque in solidarity with Minneapolis.

The weather is crazy here right now but Chicago always shows up!

America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis. I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations. open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

"These songs tell stories—about power, sacrifice, fear, and consequence—that strike at the core of what a soldier is asked to do." @markhertling.bsky.social on Bruce Springsteen and protest songs: lnk.thebulwark.com/4683FDM

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

"We mourn for a world, a country that allows 5-year-olds to be legally kidnapped and protesters to be slaughtered. How will you say no to violence? Because as the great teacher Martin Luther King said, ‘Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.’” www.huffpost.com/entry/cardin...

With a voice that's become synonymous with American resilience, Bruce Springsteen once again empowers us with his latest anthem of resistance. Out today: Streets of Minneapolis

Yo, ICE! This is what a hostile, threatening approach looks like. And Ilhan Omar’s security didn’t murder him. Imagine that.

SENATOR WARREN: “I am a hell no.”

I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.

The people of Minneapolis have shown us that radical love and community are more powerful than masked thugs and guns. Stand in solidarity with Minneapolis on 1/31 by hitting the streets at an ICE Out of Everywhere protest near you. Link in bio.
