So we’re just going to spend billions in bombs, kill the Ayatollah, temporarily degrade their military, then walk away and hope they learned their lesson? That’s the plan?

With Trump, there's always a tweet.

Trump has no strategy to help the Iranian people build a legitimate state—in fact, he’s dismantling tools that could have helped promote civic engagement and build a united opposition in Iran, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

The judges in WV have seen enough. They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My full statement on Trump’s attack on Iran.

He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil My instant column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Cornyn on Trump's strikes on Iran: "I don't know what the-- what's, uh -- I'm learning like you are as the news unfolds exactly what's happening"

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people. We do not want another forever war.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

It appears that the blanket was just a cover story because what Noem & Lewandowski were really worried about was a personal bag of Noem’s that contained items which could cause her embarrassment.

Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski have been flying around on a taxpayer-funded f**k plane

Al Green didn’t last long.

Please stop calling it a cult, folks

What

“This message is brought to you tonight by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is solely responsible for its content.”

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."

“.. Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist, said Trump risked looking out of touch .. ‘I’m not sure any aspirational speech changes your electric bill, your grocery bill or tuition.’” @wsj.com #SOTU www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

If the suspect’s family didn’t turn him in, he’d probably still be on the loose thanks to Keystone Kash.

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

A must read today

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

Trump: “As President, I do not have to go back to Congress to get approval of Tariffs. It has already been gotten, in many forms, a long time ago! They were also just reaffirmed by the ridiculous and poorly crafted supreme court decision!”

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating. Look at the pre-SOTU polls. Look at that -- negative 27 points! My goodness gracious. Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2017 -- minus 10, way lower now. The bottom line is Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union."

He knows. They all grifted off of Trump.

ICYMI — The FBI director flew there on the taxpayer dime on a private jet to do this… Kash in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

‼️‼️

All they do is lie. www.cnn.com/2026/02/19/p...

Trump threatens us with a good time: "They'd like to pack the court. They want to put on 21 people. Pack the Supreme Court. Maybe they should do it. Maybe we would be better off if they did it."

Cartoon by Mike Luckovich.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump does NOT have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs — delivering a major blow to Trump’s sweeping “emergency” tariff regime.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Trump is now blocking Democrats from appearing on television in America. Every year Americans will have less and less free speech until we are no different than Putin's Russia. That is MAGA's goal. youtu.be/OQIljje2B_Q

Congress: he can’t go to war without us!!! I mean… technically, you’re right. Maybe do something about it other than a strongly worded letter.

“I do not believe when Mr. Wexner says that he did not have a personal relationship or a friendly relationship" with Jeffrey Epstein, Rep. Robert Garcia said. He also sharply criticized the DOJ after Wexner stated he has not been contacted by the FBI. "What the hell is going on? That is shameful.”

Greatest peace deal EVA

Trump and the GOP are feeding on the desperation of people who trust him. Yesterday this person received a text “from Trump” saying their 2000 tariff check was ready…. Today this one. The rich are preying on the vulnerable. And it’s pure evil. Screw the GOP and trumps grift

Oh really?

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office as part of the Epstein files investigation, per the BBC. The probe centers on allegations he shared confidential material with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as trade envoy.

www.bbc.com/news/live/c7... holy shit did you see this coming? The pedophile formerly known as Prince is LOCKED UP.

The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

New via WSJ: French modeling scout Jean-Luc Brunel was secretly negotiating in 2016 with lawyers representing Epstein's victims, according to DOJ files. Brunel's lawyer told them his client recruited girls for Epstein and had incriminating photographs. Then Brunel went dark.

$413,000 per bed. Insanity. While they cut health care, food assistance, etc.

A victim reports overhearing Trump bragging to Epstein about how a Sheik gave him his virgin daughter to have sex with. I totally believe Trump said this, but it's probably just his usual lying.

Don’t see how Iran would make a deal with the United States after the US reneged on the last deal without cause in Trump’s first term. Iran had a years-long internal argument before doing the nuclear deal. The ones who said it’d be stupid to trust America won that argument with a giant told you so.

The British arrested a Royal, and we can’t even investigate a reality TV show host. Our system is so busted.
