“Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe.” — Rep. James Talarico, TX-50

In new episode of #SistersInLaw, we discussed Trump’s $1.7B slush fund. As you can see, I am not letting this go. It is an outrage, and we can’t let the next outrage overshadow it. We do have some ideas—a bill to refund its funding. www.politicon.com/podcast-epis...

Keep telling the truth. Thank you to Stephen Colbert and everyone at The Late Show.

Unbelievable, but believe it we do.

TRL has always believed literacy is a fundamental human right. It's encouraging to see that belief reflected in a significant step forward at the federal level with the Science of Reading Act of 2026. Read our full statement: https://bit.ly/3PICH08

Congress can "zero‑fund" ballroom construction by appropriating $0 for that specific project or by adding a rider stating that no funds may be used for its planning, construction, or operation Under the Constitution’s appropriations clause, the executive cannot legally proceed without funding

I guess it was time to change the focus off war. #whcd

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock on passing a war powers resolution: "We are calling on our Republican colleagues to stand up and do their job. The American people are clear, they do not want this war, and it's up to us to hold this unhinged, unaccountable president accountable."

Let’s adopt “Save the Country” by the late, great Laura Nyro as our anthem. youtu.be/mwn97weAxa0?... #peace #democracy #ruleoflaw

Trump has added $12.5T to the debt, over a third of all U.S. debt racked up by 44 other presidents combined. That’s not “fiscal conservatism,” it’s a demolition job on our future.

Today, we put Trump and his cronies on notice that we are coming for them at the ballot boxes and that we understand how this democracy works and who holds the power. By showing up, we show that we are not afraid. That we will jump through whatever hoops they put in front of us to vote.

Today's the day. America has no king. Come out and stand together in solidarity for freedom. #NoKings Find your event: www.nokings.org

Hot air & testosterone poisoning from Hegseth while people die and US goes broke.

That scene with Amy M is the #one reason to watch Field of Dreams.

Central NYS winters! #potholes

Earth to Warmonger Hegseth: Trump doesn’t need help to look bad.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

Northern Hawk Owl? #birds

Senator Warnock on dTrump on MSNOW SOTU roundup gave a clear description of who dTrump is. PERFECT.

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine. Don't think "four-dimensional chess" Think "toddler + cheerios" www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/b...

Johnson’s lack of support of the rule of law is detestable

The photo of Andrew leaving police custody featured on the front page of newspapers across the globe today - but the Reuters photographer who took it has said that the end product was "more luck than judgment" jrnl.ie/6963452

SCOTUS Tariff dissent by Kavanaugh is another way of him saying DOJ used the wrong statute but that it doesn’t matter. Poor lawyering shouldn’t prevent we justices from correcting the argument and let it slide. #sycophant

Little Pammy Bondi cannot control Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. He’s gonna sing like a bird.

Is little Pammy Bondi enjoying her latest deposit in her Swiss Bank account for her behavior before Congress to an audience of one?

“[Refuge homelessness] is a direct result of hostile policies including: the ban on work for people seeking asylum; ‘no recourse to public funds’ rules that push people into destitution; and rapid evictions from statutory accommodation when people are recognised as refugees.”

🇵🇱🇺🇦“Some say that Ukraine should be grateful for everything. The truth is exactly the opposite. The rest of us should be grateful to Ukraine.” - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk

Former President Barack Obama criticized ICE agents’ conduct in Minnesota as dangerous, saying “the rogue behavior” is akin to what “we’ve seen in authoritarian countries” and “in dictatorships.”

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Good night, dear friends. It’s 01:00 in Ukraine. I wish everyone has a safe, peaceful, and calm night. Hopefully see you tomorrow. Remembrance is not a violation. Russia is a terrorist state!

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Sport shouldn’t mean amnesia, and the Olympic movement should help stop wars, not play into the hands of aggressors.

Pam Bondi’s bad day. She thinks it was a good one. Poor Pammy.

But what about Dow Jones average?! #Kindergartner #Bondi grandstands for her cult leader. 🙄

Kindergartner Pam #bondi believes it’s okay to lie to protect Trump and has a temper tantrum when being told it is a crime to do so under oath before Congress. Poor Pammy. Oopsie.

Ted Lieu knows how to use his manners, follow his oath of office and politely tell someone she has just been caught in a lie. #bondi

REMINDER: Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 when Jeffrey Epstein was running his child rape ring in her very state. She prosecuted many child predators but NEVER even investigated Epstein. It's clear she has been covering up Epstein's crimes for years!
