In the Democratic response to President Trump's State of the Union address, @abigailspanberger.com accuses the president of "enriching himself, his family, his friends." This #CupOfJoe is dedicated to #WeThePeople, and WE SHALL OVERCOME‼️

A whistleblower just disclosed that FBI experts were delayed by AT LEAST A DAY in deploying to investigate Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Why? There was an FBI plane and pilot shortage… because Kash Patel was using them for personal flights.

In a new WaPo-ABC poll, 79% of Democrats say they are certain to vote in November, compared to 65% of Republicans. The largest gap in that question since 2006. (You're basically seeing exactly this in special election after special election.) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

"We have fought for America with all her imperfections, not so much for what she is, but for what we know she can be." -Mary McLeod Bethune, 1939

What do you call a demagogue who takes a horrific murder and uses it to implicate a group he’s seeking to demonize — and lies about it, to boot? NPR fact-checks Trump’s claims that Charlotte-born DeCarlos Brown Jr., who killed Iryna Zarutska, was admitted through “open borders.” /1

Still astounded that Fetterman's right turn is treated as normal. He had a stroke, core of his staff resigned, he's now far further right to Conor Lamb, the moderate he ran against in 2022 to get the Dem nomination. He has cited the stroke for his rightward turn, claiming it "freed" him.

Health insurance is now more expensive than the mortgage for many Americans. This is the state of the union under Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger rebuts Trump’s claims of a thriving nation, says costs remain high

Warren: "Warsh has been a high interest guy in good times & bad. It has been his one constant - until he wanted the job of fed chair. And then he said, 'I will say whatever Trump wants, bc that's the test for the job.' I don't think having a sock puppet as head of the Fed preserves Fed independence"

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Absolutely shameful. Four years of war and the United States sends nobody to mark it.

“I understand some of my colleagues are not going to be there tonight…for me personally, I’m going to be sitting there to make a point to this president, who about three weeks ago tried to indict me and send me to jail…”— Sen. Mark Kelly on attending the SOTU.

WHISTLEBLOWER: Kash’s personal use of the FBI jet delayed investigators after the Brown U Mass shooting (H/T @atrupar.com )

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

Federal court rejects GOP-led Utah Legislature’s latest try to block House map that helps Democrats:

🚨 In just 6 days, Democrats have already cast more ballots than in all of 2022 early voting. Current total (change from yesterday): 🔵 638,082 (+93,188)

Look, Trump's Cabinet of sycophantic criminals won't invoke the 25th Amendment because it would end of their grifting, but that doesn't mean we all can't keep yelling at them to do it. Same goes with the House GOP and impeachment. Republicans can end this any time they wanted. Make them own it.

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

The Republican Political Party has confirmed over and over again they will not comply with state, civil and federal laws. They are not living in America on the same terms as the rest of us.

I am thankful for the support! These equally divided donations show up in each of our direct accounts from $1.32 to $33.34 so far. It will add up! Please donate to flip the Indiana House and Senate. We don’t need a lot of money, but we do need money to promote our campaigns.

Fear over immigration enforcement hurt public health efforts to increase measles vaccination rates and fight misinformation about links to autism in Minnesota’s large Somali community.

BREAKING Charles Kushner, the US Ambassador to France, has been banned from meeting with members of the French government after he failed to show up to a diplomatic summons with the French Foreign Minister.

“I hope this news brings some joy to all who need to hear it,” she said. “As an important side note, I would like to be called Dr. Öztürk, not Miss Öztürk, from now on.” 👏👏👏

Last week, I attended the Lindenwold ICE Out protest to fight back against Trump's ICE. It's time to impeach Kristi Noem and Donald Trump. #DumpTrump

"Americans—especially journalists—should resist becoming inured to fascist rhetoric. No one should rely on euphemisms about “extreme” comments or “fiery” speeches. Call it what it is: Nazi-like behavior." Tom Nichols @[email protected] (gift article)

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service." Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."

The parody movie about the AI bubble is going to have nowhere to go.

It's almost time...March's Meeting will be on Tuesday, March 3rd at 6:30 pm in the Smith West Meeting Room at the Augusta County Government Center. If you can't join us in person, please consider joining us virtually on Google Meet.

I’ve only met a few of the Epstein survivors but the ones I’ve talked to are amazingly strong. The thing that they’ve said to me, the thing that I’ve not seen reported though I’m sure someone has reported it somewhere is that they face a ton of harassment from people online.

As we commemorate President George Washington’s 294th birthday, let us continue to heed his words on the importance of upholding checks and balances to protect our freedom.

RFK Jr. appointed two anti-vax OB/GYNs to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. These new members are conspiracy theorists and have no business shaping public health policy for the American people – especially for women and children.

Yea, much like in Texas, Dem primary turnout is going through the roof in North Carolina.... 👀

Jones: Then you look at the success we had in Virginia. People joke, but we say, “As goes Virginia, so goes the nation.” We had a historic sweep of our statewide offices. I think that really portends well for what’s happening across the country in 2026.

Just an amazing string of coincidences that the Republican Party has so many pedophiles, pedophile enablers and pedophile protectors in its ranks.

Listen to the Attorney General of Minnesota.

This is absolute fire. 🔥 The owner of a Texas warehouse says they won't sell or lease to DHS after the community raised concerns about ICE. So we went down to Hutchins, Texas. to learn about how communities are stopping warehouses from falling into ICE's hands.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1958: The peace symbol is designed by Gerald Holtom. One of the most recognizable icons in the world, it’s a superimposition of the flag semaphore positions for the characters “N” and “D,” taken to stand for “nuclear disarmament.” /1
