Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

The cruelty and inhumanity of this Administration’s policies have left another person dead—as CBP dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee living in Buffalo NY, alone on a cold winter night miles from his home. This cruelty must end.

i know the situation in kansas right now is dangerous and terrifying. that said, i'm hoping to speak to someone who's had their license invalidated. i will do absolutely everything to protect your anonymity and maintain your safety. i can be reached securely via signal at marisakabas.04

Kat Abughazaleh on ICE in IL-9 debate "We need to fully abolish and prosecute ICE. We need to repeal the Patriot Act. We need to lift refugee caps. And we need to offer complete amnesty and citizenship to any immigrant here who has not committed a violent crime."

Breaking — Planned ICE concentration camp near Nashville canceled!!!!

Don’t let Trump steal your music. Sue him like the Hayes family did.

United States abstains in UN vote on support for peace in Ukraine. Fascist Russia voted against. The US objected to text in the resolution on the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the need to achieve a just peace. Under Trump, the US has fallen so very far, so very fast.

Rubin: There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI are missing. We can also confirm that that woman is the same person who accused Donald Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15 years old.

I have spoken to two people now who have told me that only part of their FBI interviews are in the released files, and the parts of their interviews that are missing include mentions of Trump. 1/

One goal if D's take the House this year: Jan 6 hearings that finally get to the organizers. Two men who could help drive that are both running in MD-5: Harry Dunn, who defended the Capitol, and now David Sundberg, who was tasked with reviving the FBI investigation in 2022. Marylanders, pick one. 1/

NEW Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll: Ahead of SOTU, Trump's approval falls to new low of 37% — & just 20% among independents. Issue approval on immigration and deportations falls to new lows of -15, and voters say admin is spending on the wrong issues. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ahead-of-s...

Bookmarked. This will be the first of many. Clock is ticking...if you're still working for ICE, lawyer up.

It starts like this. We, the resistance, need to WELCOME defectors who come over.

Me with a scoop/exclusive Five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, federal authorities “directed” NY law enforcement authorities to “stand down” their investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show. Part of new Timeline on NY and Epstein.

"Lutnick and Epstein each signed a contract in 2012—four years after Epstein pleaded guilty to sex crimes—to invest in a digital ad technology company called AdFin Solutions Inc. The deal was dated just five days after Lutnick and his family visited Epstein on his private island. "

I always thought the whole "they want you dead" thing was just hyperbole. But I guess this makes the entire raw milk, no vax, more asbestos stuff make a lot more sense.

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

It's not every day that the thieves come right out and tell you the money they stole from you ain't coming back.

“.. Gimme my money, Trump.” @rexhuppke.bsky.social @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

You can hear the midterm campaign ads being written right now: @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social

Trump stole $175b from Americans and will be mostly paying it back to foreigners

The only consistent explanation for what the Trump administration is doing on immigration is "we want to lock up a bunch of people in camps." It's not about illegal immigration. Or crime. It's not even about deporting people. It's people like Stephen Miller lusting for an excuse to build camps.

2 days after I broke the news (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/doug-wilso...), @cnn.com has story on Doug Wilson preaching at Pentagon. Not only do they not acknowledge earlier reporting, they also have poor framing of previous prayer services that doesn't match what I've previously reported. 1/

On this day in 1942, Executive Order 9066 was signed, forcing over 120,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps. #DayofRemembrance Among the internees were individuals who embraced photography as an important means of artistic expression in the 1920s and 1930s.

NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE. Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program.  That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract! And New Mexico did the same last week:

Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

You can’t ask evil people to be less evil. All you can do is fight them.

If you want to make a party that excludes all religious people because some are bad, you're welcome to do that, but it won't win elections.

Don't confuse all Christians with evangelicals. It's true Dems shouldn't bother with evangelicals but they should address mainline Protestants (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/the-christ...). Beshear & Talarico are mainliners & can speak to swing group that reads Bible differently than evangelicals.

Pentagon has held 10 monthly Christian worship services & Labor Department has held 3. Government-run church services deserve more attention & scrutiny. Here are details on all the services: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/government...

The Epstein Cover-up: The FBI Interviewed a Credible Trump Accuser In what should be headline news, investigative reporter Roger Sollenberger uncovers an FBI slideshow & internal emails that reveal they know women who credibly accused Trump of sexual assault. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

I have an update on Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother.

Zelenskyy warns Ukraine won’t rely on empty guarantees again. In an interview with Politico, he cited the failed Budapest Memorandum as proof past promises didn’t stop aggression.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

(tears down my eyes)

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates. First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

So funny how the death of late night is that it’s all pulled apart into clips and consumed piecemeal and the FCC doesn’t understand this and helps create a huge reason for non-watchers to go ahead and consume it in the way late night shows have been forced to distribute their content for years

If you want to see how big the threat of #ChristianNationalism is to American democracy--the topic @jamestalarico.bsky.social addressed in his banned @colbertlateshow.bsky.social interview at CBS, @prri.org has data on its prevalence in all 50 states--just released today. prri.org/research/map...

A strange find from the Epstein files: A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev." Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies." www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

The Trump administration has paid $128.5 mn for a warehouse in Social Circle, GA, which it now proposes to convert into a concentration camp. Only 2 yers ago, the facility was acquired for $29 mn by a Moscow-based real estate company, PNK.

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“Billionaires really like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as a good and natural thing.”

100% this. Dems touting how we do deportation ‘the right way,’ is a losing argument every time. You’ll never win Republicans because they always want more deportation, particularly more violent, punitive deportation. And lauding deportation angers a huge part of your base every time. It’s lose/lose.

"A new ruling from the Trump administration says that when the sun disappears at night, we don’t know where it goes. All remaining top scientists have been taken from their positions and tasked with getting to the bottom of this." www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.
