Metro Surge is ending, and that’s good news. But we have a long road to recovery. Our small businesses, workers, and children have felt the strain. Now it’s time to ensure this never happens again.

Just noting this because I have cited the trends a lot recently: Tracking data from Civiqs now shows a plurality of the public favors abolishing ICE, with 47% in support and 46% opposed. Independents are net +5 on abolish, up from -40 a year ago substack.com/profile/4791...

It will be interesting and revealing if Kathryn Ruemmler turns out to be the only one taking a major career hit over the Ep Files.

It also speaks to where the political violence is *really* coming from.

I’m sorry kids, you can’t have those M&Ms, the guy who snorted coke off a toilet seat said so.

We absolutely must not let this pass:

A GOPer asked SCOTUS to halt a ruling striking down New York’s congressional map for diluting the voting power of Staten Island’s Black and Latino communities. If the Court takes the case, the stakes would go beyond the borough as the ruling affirmed states' power to protect fair representation.

My hope is that the embarrassed-they-made-a-mistake crowd vastly outnumbers the ICE-is-cool crowd.

There are a thousand things wrong here and the primary one is that Stephen A. Smith is intellectually lazy and uninformed. But the dangerous one is that he thinks there is some sort of draft "Stephen A. Shit For President" movement

so life-saving aid that Russ Vought has cut from poor children, causing many to die, is being used instead to protect the life of Russ Vought - the white Christian nationalist fanatic whose objective is traumatizing other people

I call bullshit on the DOJ release of names in the Epstein files They are including names that show up in press clippings that Epstein happened to forward or that were forwarded to him! This is a ploy to cover for the fact that Trump's name is REALLY in the files--& a smear of innocent people

Friday, February 13, 2026, is good day to lock Trump up in Alligator Auschwitz and cancel construction of the Epstein Ballroom. And the day is not yet over. #TrumpPedoFiles #KatieJohnson #LockHimUp Hulk not like child-raper. Hulk smash child-raper.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

Donald Trump is: - Openly racist - Covering up evidence he may have sexually abused children - Directly responsible for the murder of US citizens by masked agents of the state - Openly looting the treasury and taking bribes from foreign leaders - Polling at 38% amongst the American people

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

The cruelty of this regime in a nutshell.

🔥 AUTHOR MICHAEL WOLFF: “This is the 3rd or 4th time Trump threatened to sue me… I believe if the 🇺🇸 public knew the real nature of Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein they would turn away in revulsion and horror. So sue me.”

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

This!

I agree with Mark

You should be rightfully enraged by this.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Oversight Dems will be holding a hearing with survivors and witnesses in Palm Beach, FL. Why were women and girls trafficked from Mar-a-lago? We have critical questions.

Through all we are experiencing remember to love yourself because if you don’t, you cannot love others. Perhaps the ultra wealthy do not really love themselves. Certainly, a corporation cannot love itself.
