@drtedros.who.int met with His Majesty King Abdullah II, key donors, Gaza children receiving treatment. Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, have shown strong support to WHO’s humanitarian and mental health activities.

“Forever chemicals” are in the public drinking water systems of at least 151 million people — roughly half of all Americans who rely on these utilities for clean water. This is according to the latest EPA data.

The conservative movement that propelled Trump to victory is tearing itself apart with claims of “satanic” influence and paid smear campaigns over an upcoming “investigative series.”

Truer words have rarely been spoken.

Under Trump’s watch, nearly 300,000 federal workers were forced out, scientific research was frozen, and oversight offices were gutted. This isn’t “efficiency.” It’s chaos. It’s a win for working people that they’re being held accountable in court.

Trump's self-dealing is truly off the scales — eclipsing even the biggest corruption scandal of the First Gilded Age. It's a new Golden Age for grifting. [@brennancenter.org]

Today @drtedros.who.int concluded the first day of his two-day State visit to Jordan. The visit spotlights the strong and growing partnership between WHO and Jordan across universal health coverage, mental health and humanitarian health action. Learn more: bit.ly/4rDypWb

Trump Rape Accuser Deceased Says FBI Intake Form open.substack.com/pub/calltoac...

Katie Johnson’s account of what Donald Trump did when she was 13 years old

The president claimed victory last night for an economy that, for most Americans, feels like failure. What he calls a “roaring economy” because of stock market gains and corporate tax cuts, working families experience as deeply unaffordable, with housing, healthcare, and grocery bills still rising.

The Rapid Support Forces, one of Sudan’s two main warring parties, targeted, abused, and killed people with disabilities during and after their October 26, 2025, takeover of El Fasher, North Darfur’s capital. New research from HRW:

Dude was fined $500 million for fraud.

That’s quite a trifecta of Epstein stories this am. @cnbc.com @nytimes.com

Trump lies about the “roaring economy” while Arizona families struggle to get ahead. I'm fighting to lower the cost of everything from groceries to health care, because that's what you sent me here to do.

KHANNA: “A blatant violation of the law. These files should have been released… while the rest of the world is prosecuting them, in 🇺🇸 we’re sitting on our hands.” @khanna.house.gov tells @krystalball.bsky.social the DOJ deleting files re: allegations of Trump abusing minors is illegal.

here's today's post: "the State of the Union is— oh who gives a fuck, really" — was anyone surprised by any of this? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Yes we do

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

Over 1,400 people stepped up to shovel snow in New York City as the city was hit by a major blizzard. Zohran bumped pay from $19 to $30 — and got nearly 3x the number of emergency shovelers compared to the last big storm in January.

Trump brags about abruptly kicking 2.5 million people off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; no alternative programs or social aid were provided, meaning he pushed millions into food insecurity nationwide. "we have lifted 2.4 million Americans a record off of food stamps" #SOTU

FT: “.. Wherever you look in financial markets, you see signs that global investors are going out of their way to avoid Donald Trump’s America.” @financialtimes.com @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/cfdc...

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

As @JustinWolfers points out — when Trump boasts about the market being up he fails to mention other markets around the world are up way higher in the same period of time 🤷🏼

Mike Johnson: "If we lost the midterms -- heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House -- it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect."

New in PN: The Trump boys are Making Corruption Great Again "Heck, if you can’t be bothered to fake a board seat and you’re not interested in Trump-branded monopoly money, you can just pay $500,000 to join Don Jr.’s private membership club. It’s called Executive Branch. Yes, for real."

Our thread of ICE and Border Patrol sex offenders is up to 53 agents, with many more to go.

This thread is still going 😱

Here’s the Vivian Jones article Speaker Sexton is upset about, because it accurately explains the AG report on undocumented crime in Tennessee: -2% of all crime (not 50%, Johnny Garrett is a huge liar) -Vast majority traffic/non-violent www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

PSA: When Trump brags about “cutting regulations” he means letting his Fossil Fuel oligarch donors poison babies and children to increase profits. www.scientificamerican.com/article/trum...

From my latest feature, on the treatment of the incarcerated at Angola prison:

This year, interest payments on the federal debt will total more than $1 trillion, which is larger than the defense budget. Ten years from now, these payments will more than double, to a level close to discretionary spending for defense and domestic programs combined. www.wsj.com/opinion/amer...

Ben Shapiro: “What Candace [Owens] is doing right now is absolutely satanic to Erika Kirk”

“What kind of administration releases naked photos of victims, and then protects the perpetrators?” #TrumpEpsteinFiles #EpsteinAdministration

Don't forget about Peter Thiel and Russians

THREAD 🧵The Epstein Files exposed hundreds of mentions of rich, powerful people who were close with Epstein. These include President Trump, his closest allies, and appointees. Here's what we know:

Congratulations to @lclaa.bsky.social Executive Vice President Xochitl Cobarruvias from the @steelworkers.bsky.social on being elected Chair of the LA County Federation of Labor! We look forward to working with her to continue fighting for working families in Los Angeles! #BetterInAUnion

The SAVE America Act would make it harder for working people who don’t have passports and can’t afford international vacations to vote. The Senate must protect our democracy and our ability to make our voices heard at the ballot box. We urge senators to reject this bill.

I’d add that this AUSA says “the *murder* of Jeffrey Epstein” in this email. Telling choice of words. Who is this sender?

Democrats dropped a bill TODAY to stop private equity's housing takeover. Let's get this done.

Imagine if you will, a hostile criminal organization takes over your government, they place a puppet regime led by a child rape trafficker and are rapidly siphoning your treasury while ripping apart your laws and economy.

The US Justice Department withheld Epstein files that contained information about Donald Trump attempting to rape 13 year old child. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Donald Trump is now officially the least popular politician to hold office in the history of America.

Working people are tired of living in an economy that benefits billionaires and giant corporations, while they survive paycheck-to-paycheck. The way to start balancing the scales? Solidarity and a union contract! ✊
