Republicans campaigned on draining the swamp. ——————————

The open racism you guys have emboldened, megyn

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have. When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

Does that seem fair to you?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

$4 BILLION — So corrupt. There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Massie not backing down.

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

"Under competitive authoritarianism, countries still hold elections, but the ruling party uses various tactics — attacking the press, disenfranchising voters, weaponizing the justice system and threatening critics — to tilt the electoral playing field in its favor." www.npr.org/2026/02/16/n...

Happy Presidents’ Day to the last real president we had. Americans now see he delivered a strong economy, low unemployment, major infrastructure investment, the CHIPS Act, & the 1st Black woman on the SC. He was treated shamefully—his only “crime” was aging. I hope we learn from how good we had it.

A Marine veteran who witnessed Alex Pretti shooting claims that federal agents held a gun to his head, detained him, seized his phone, took fingerprints and DNA without a warrant, and held him for eight hours before releasing him without charges into subzero temperatures.

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA “How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

Haha 🤣

The historical term for this is "looting." The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

The Epstein Class is the by-product of an economy that emerged over the last two decades, from which this new elite has siphoned off vast amounts of wealth. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-squalor-of-the-epstein-class

Her behaviour at the hearings was atrocious. Imagine if any previous Democratic Attorney General had ever responded in the same manner? They'd been drawn & quartered then roasted over a fire pit. I firmly believe her day is coming. She is a pitiful excuse for an AG. www.huffpost.com/entry/thomas...

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...

Trump inherited a country in good working order: TWICE, and fucked it up, TWICE. It's the story of every Dem POTUS since Obama inherited the country when in the Great Recession, and Biden after J6. Those both pale to it what it's going to be like for the next Dem POTUS after Trump.😬

🎩 He should be executed for TREASON!

LGBTQ athletes struck gold at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games. Breezy Johnson made downhill history, while Amber Glenn helped secure gold for Team USA’s hockey team.

Yeah, we know.

Nothing against Nancy Guthrie here. If they spent half the time they are spending looking for her abductor on the Epstein files, criminals, they would be in jail already.

if Chip Roy forgets his name his vest will help him out

Never forget the fact that the very first iteration of FB, as The Face Book, created by him was for rating the hotness of girls on his campus. Arguably this is the ethical foundation of all his work.

It beggars belief that people don’t see this man for what he is — a traitorous Putin puppet!

I just spent a full minute bouncing my eyes back and forth between "62-year-old Kansas man" and "18-year-old ex-wife"

I used to take great pride in not being a straight party voter. I would carefully look at every candidate and then vote for who I thought would best serve the people. I still do that last part, but it's been a straight D vote the last few years. The GOP has forgotten THEY are supposed to serve US!

Bloody-handed dictator Putin murdered again. 😔

NOW DOING THE LORDS WORK

What a humongous piece of shit

Finally, a chatbot that answers the burning question: “what wine pairs best with shame and an emergency room copay?”

I think I’m going to go in a different direction for health advice.

Elon Musk Peter Thiel are the two main immigrants that actually need to be deported

To be resumed when we can celebrate decency in the presidency…

Save Act, hmm!

Can confirm.

So the Epstein files are bringing down everyone except those in the United States, do i have that right?

And it begins - the #EpsteinFiles Analysis.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
