Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

www.huffpost.com/entry/latest... Just OMG. What a moron.

😵America is sinking into the abyss: 🎉Trump Called Wind Power “Stupid,” and Europe Responded. Five Days Later, Nine Countries Moved Forward With a Massive Offshore Wind Plan. 🎉Over half of Canadians think America is a bigger threat to the world than Russia. 🎉Andrew arrested in UK over Epstein.

vocal.media/theSwamp/tru... Way to respond to Trump EU! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

www.politico.com/news/2026/02... Their message to America: It’s not us, it’s you. Canadians don’t see Trump’s America as merely an annoyance. They consider the superpower next door the world’s greatest threat to peacetime.

www.huffpost.com/entry/latest... They say “at last.” America: “if only.”

It's wild that, here in the US, we can't seem to find any evidence implicating third-parties of criminal conduct in the Epstein files, but they are easily finding that evidence everywhere else. And, they are acting on it.

NEWSMAX: Do you think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? REP. NANCY MACE: No, absolutely not. I think he was murdered. I don't know if it was an intel agency or what it is. The data from the videos cameras was erased.

🧑‍🌾 FOX: “A pretty grim picture”

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

I don't think there's any real legal incentive, but it'd be great if Prince Andrew decided to incriminate one of his co-conspirators now.

MS NOW has obtained a statement from the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre: At last.   Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.

UK and S. Korea doing what’s right. America? No way. 🤬

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

So… not a hoax then?

Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."

www.bbc.com/news/live/c7... What’s wrong with America! Trump is still sitting in office.

www.bbc.com/news/resourc... America is just a shell of its former self, thanks to Trump and his GOP enablers.

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you believe you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone. Remember this.

Lebanon, Tennessee: www.theleafchronicle.com/story/news/l...

Breaking MS NOW: DHS has launched a nationwide campaign to investigate and prosecute naturalized citizens who may have improperly voted in past elections — an effort spurring deep concern that the admin's true goal is to intimidate voters from participating in future elections.

Rep. Ro Khanna Just Said :UN human rights experts just concluded the Epstein files may have "crimes against humanity." The DOJ continues a cover-up. Here's what needs to happen now:

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

and now another retraction/reversal in Chester, New York: midhudsonnews.com/2026/02/18/c...

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Holy shit. A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over. I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

www.huffpost.com/entry/new-me... Epstein owned the sprawling property from 1993 until his death in 2019. It was purchased in 2023 by MAGA Texas businessman and former GOP state Senator Donald Huffines, currently running for comptroller in Texas. Huffines’ son works in the Trump administration.

www.politico.com/news/magazin... Good!

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...
