I was literally pulling up the FBI indictments of the Iranian hackers two days ago for a forthcoming article ab this 🫠 Trump dismantled the entire infrastructure that disrupted this op! Kate and Stamos and I were sued by America First Legal — case is entering its 3rd year. These fucking hacks.

Truly remarkable how spot on his and MAGA's psychological projection is over and over and over again. Every accusation is a confession.

The truth is that if democracy is to survive this era, we can no longer treat independent media as optional. It is essential, and we must do everything we can to help it thrive and grow — quickly. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.

Strongmen, like Trump, live in constant fear of being held accountable — which is why all of us should be concerned about what they might do to the upcoming midterms. The best thing we can all do is pay attention, call them out for what they’re doing, & turn out in huge numbers in November.

Trump in 2011: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”

Running your war from a private club for millionaires — ahead of a $1 million-a-plate dinner — is a choice.

Several eyewitness reports are coming in that the Palms was struck in Dubai.

If you want to distract from the Epstein Files, maybe don't name your act of war something that also has the initials E F. Epstein Fury? Epic Files? We live in a grotesquely absurd timeline.

A couple of republicans in Congress could end this any time they wanted by honoring their oath to uphold the constitution

-Zero Congressional consultation or approval. -Zero preparation of public for need/consequences of war. -Zero evidence of thought about "OK, what might the other side do?" Next month. Next year. -Zero mention of anti-nuke agreement Trump voided, or Trump claim last year that nukes "obliterated."

It's good, because it means we'll be distracted from how many pedophiles they're protecting.

THIS.

“The presumption created by the surrounding evidence is that this war could very well be about (1) subverting US democracy, (2) enriching the president, or both. These presumptions, while not proof, provide solid lines of inquiry as we learn more about the war.” snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

NEW: Several high-ranking federal election officials attended a summit last week at which prominent activists who worked to overturn Trump’s loss in the 2020 election pressed for the president to declare a national emergency to take over the midterms.

You can just say things.

Who’s trademarked “MAHA”?

“…the only tool he really has left is violence and threats. But that is a brittle form of authority. And we’ve seen in Minnesota, it is not something that can [last]. It is something that can be resisted and something that is incredibly unpopular and can crumble.”

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents. Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress. Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg. My report:

Every dot is a 287(g) agreement with ICE. Florida just one big ICE operation at this point.

I hope the company doesn’t cave to this psychotic regime.

Former BYU baseballer Candon Dahle raped two little girls. A corrupt judge downgraded the charge to felony injury of a child so Dahle can't be registered as a sex offender. Now he's been released from prison early for eight years of probation. The system fails again. share.google/usQTy3NpbwZg...

We already have had all the strategic cooperation from Greenland we’ve ever needed or asked for. What we’re doing, with these mindless threats, is actually putting that at risk.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

How can I—not a health reporter, not a national political reporter, with no newsroom, no institutional support, and little financial resources to devote to reporting these stories—be publishing stories that those who are *paid to do so* have completely missed? Journalistic malpractice. /end

And today I broke the story that the WH will try to appoint Means via a pathway for which she is as equally ineligible as she is as a physician: by going through a category in which she has even fewer qualifications (i.e., none) than in the Medical category. lastcampaign.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Yet all those reporters missed it. And I didn't stop at Nesheiwat's lies about her credentials. I followed up—as no one else did—on the details of her years-long lies about her medical education and training, medical school, and board certification. lastcampaign.substack.com/p/additional...

entire national health and political reporter corps completely missed. For months. (Even after I pitched reporters to cover it, then pitched outlets to have me report it.) The breadth and depth of Janette Nesheiwat's out-in-the-open lies are mind boggling. lastcampaign.substack.com/p/trumps-sur...

I don’t think people understand what’s this means: MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ARE BLOCKING ALL WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, INSULIN PUMPS, GLUCOSE MONITORS, CPAP MACHINES, NEBULIZERS, BEDS, CRUTCHES, COMODE CHAIRS, BED SORE PRESSURE PADS, CHAIR LIFTS, OXYGEN TANKS, BREATHING EQUIPMENT, to name a few.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

The hyper-partisan tech baron who stole your data from FB is doing whaaaaat with an identity verification scam now? Shocking. 🙄

Watch republicans give him a standing ovation for taking away food assistance from millions of Americans. You won’t find a more poignant visual of the class war in America.

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

Turducken of terribleness

Federal agents are still here in high numbers. ICE keeps kidnapping our neighbors. National Guard keeps patrolling outside our metro stops, outside our work places, our homes. The news has moved on but the feds are still here.

"We love religion and we love bringing it back," Trump just now, one day after yet another group of faith orgs filed a suit alleging his admin violated their religious freedom. Dozens of religious leaders, orgs and denominations have sued his admin in the past year. religionnews.com/2026/02/23/f...
