New Mexico reopens investigation of Epstein ranch reut.rs/4kMEUTU

Three military veterans and a historic preservationist sued the Trump administration over President Trump’s planned 250-foot triumphal arch, arguing that the structure would disrupt the experience of visiting Arlington National Cemetery.

If being associated with Jeffrey Epstein cost Andrew the title of "Prince," it should cost Donald the title of "President." But we are not a morally sound country.

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Trump is celebrating by taxing every family $1,776. King George would be proud!

Breaking news: The Trump administration appears ready to launch an extended military assault on Iran, current and former U.S. officials said, as the Pentagon amasses an immense strike force in the Middle East.

NO on the Save America Act! Democracy is not saved by restricting the vote. It is saved by empowering all to exercise our sacred right to vote.

New reporting by Democracy Docket suggests that Patriot Grassroots’ canvassers also crossed a line in Missouri, where volunteers gathering signatures to put a GOP-backed gerrymander to a statewide vote said they were harassed by out-of-state paid agitators. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Can we please have an AG in Texas who’s not obsessed re everyone’s genitals? Ugh

Texas town rejects detention centre in protest against Trump’s immigration policies ft.trib.al/cKHEehV

School districts across the country are reconsidering their picture day partnerships after social media posts pointed to a link between a major school photo company and a billionaire investor found in the Justice Dept.'s files on Jeffrey Epstein.

Florida's attorney general, who spends his time targeting companies for stuff like “radical LGBTQ+ activism,” is getting paid $100K a year as a Univ of Fla adjunct to teach a 2 hour/week law class. His salary is 8X higher than what the median adjunct earns. 1/ www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Out today: The case is the first time the government has ever filed terrorism charges against “antifa”—a decentralized ideological movement—and a federal jury trial that began February 17 is the first major test of the Trump admin’s campaign to label left-wing activists as domestic terrorists.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

‘Deliberate targeting of vital body parts’: X-rays taken after Iran protests expose extent of catastrophic injuries

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression bill. It piles on barrier after barrier to casting a ballot, designed to wear people down until they give up. That’s exactly what Republicans want: to rig the rules to keep people away from the polls.

GEORGIA — Trump’s DHS just bought an ICE detention warehouse for $128 MILLION… that sold for $29 MILLION two years ago… from a Russia-based real estate company.🤔 Nothing to see here, folks! We are being looted so hard by these crooks

Not great! (From @jennycohn.bsky.social )

Gov. Greg Abbott faces little threat in his own GOP primary. The real test of his clout may be the race for Texas comptroller, where the winner will control his new school voucher program.

Hundreds of judges across the nation have ruled over 4,400 times that President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement arm is detaining people unlawfully, according to a new Reuters review of court documents. And that’s just since October.

CHARLAMAGNE: “Trump went platinum in the Epstein files.”

Other countries can do it, why can’t we? www.france24.com/en/live-news...

12-year-old Ender wrote that when she felt sick at Dilley, the doctor would only say to drink more water. “The worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here,” she wrote in her letter. By @micarosenberg.bsky.social

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

Medical groups urge US judge to block vaccine policy shifts under RFK Jr reut.rs/4qC3TKS

what. and I ask this with all sincerity. THE F**K.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Looks like ICE is opening another detention center in Tennessee — in LEBANON. Part of the $38 BILLION push, as @CoreCivic complains they haven’t detained enough people. Cruelty is big business. From @TNLookout: tennesseelookout.com/2026/02/13/i...

Now Hegseth wants to decide where troops can take college classes in their off-duty time. I’m glad I was able to use this program while on active duty to go to the accredited school of my choice.

Yet another measles outbreak. There are outbreaks across the country. If you were born after 1957 and do not have documentation of two measles vaccine doses, talk to your healthcare provider about a lab test to check for measles immunity. More detailed guidance here👉 www.cdc.gov/measles/down...

“They weren’t telling anyone this was a radioactive material. They told us it was safe.” But now it's underneath an elementary school in North Texas:

When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

DP World CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem has been replaced after newly released Epstein files revealed years of correspondence between the two men. The leadership change underscores how the Epstein scandal continues to reach powerful figures worldwide. #Epstein www.businessinsider.com/dubai-dpworl...

"A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York confirms what economists have long warned about: The burden of tariffs is borne almost entirely by the people living in the country that imposes them," writes Allison Morrow. | Analysis

HAYES: “The target turned out to be 4 party balloons… No Mexican cartel drones. Just Border Patrol agents with a borrowed experimental space laser shooting at (party balloons).”🎪 The Trump regime, folks 🤦🏼- Bondi, Duffy etc all lied about why El Paso airport shut down.🎈

The NAACP's 117th birthday wishlist: defund ICE, prosecute Kristi Noem, and shutter Elon's data centers.

When Pam Bondi was Florida's Attorney General, and was busy ignoring Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, much like now, she took a $25,000 bribe from Donald Trump to drop her investigation into consumer fraud at Trump University. Donald knew she'd be a corrupt US AG and do as she was told.

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed. Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.

Not a hoax.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Dallas’ police oversight board endorsed a letter to city leaders calling for disclosure of police interactions with federal immigration authorities and policy changes around immigration enforcement in the city.

Republicans’ SAVE America Act is a blatant attempt to make it harder for Americans to register and cast their vote. I offered common-sense amendments to protect voters and reduce the harm. Republicans shut them down because they want suppression.

“What we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China.”

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights. When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.
