The last verse of Hannah’s aging poet-grandfather in the play, Night of the Iguana, by Tennessee Williams: "O Courage, could you not as well Select a second place to dwell, Not only in that golden tree But in the frightened heart of me?"

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Being against AIPAC funding for ANY Democratic, let alone a Progressive, is NOT Antisemitic! Take your dog whistles and shove them up your 🍑! We are American Tax Payers! And if we don't want a foreign government interfering in our politics, to buy our 💣 to exterminate a people, THATS OUR F'N RIGHT!

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

✨ It’s a yes or no question ✨

Man, you're not going to believe which political party this guy charged with sex trafficking minors belongs to, not in a million years, no way

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform. We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

Hilarious

My friend Alexis Goldstein is a warrior against Wall Street and oligarchy. The Trump regime fired her from the CFPB as part of their plot to gut consumer protections. Now, she’s running for Congress. Please donate if you can. She’s a real one!

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

An alternative to next week’s address to the union.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

With all due respect to Robert Frost, if Hollywood has taught me anything, it's that the 'road less traveled' always leads to a cabin occupied by a family of murderous hillbillies.

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

He’s awful but he’s not full-blown MAGA. You know who’s full-blown MAGA? Dr. Oz, a literal Trump administration appointee

It seems that most politicians are sponsored by groups like AIPAC and the Heritage Foundation, so these politicians are going to serve the sponsor, and not the citizens. A democracy WILL NOT WORK unless these sponsorships are limited and made public, IF that is possible.

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below). adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

That they never searched that ranch during any investigation into Epstein, the he had whole properties where crimes were alleged to be committed, and no one went there...the breadth of the cover up is astounding.

Here’s a ‘Weird’ connection … #Mm

🚨 Breaking news in Epstein Case 🚨 The New Mexico Legislature has passed HR1 to convene a Truth Commission and investigate Epstein’s crimes in NM, including at Zorro Ranch—led by State Reps Andrea Romero and Marianna Anaya. Full explainer here: youtu.be/DnOTfR_msPw?...

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

Wow.

Did I just hear that Rubio skipped his meeting with Zelenskyy and our allies because he "didn't have time" and then flew to Hungary to meet with Orban? JFC what are we even doing here?

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre: “I was trafficked to a lot of types of different men — billionaires, royalty… he used me as a form of blackmail so these people would owe him favors.”

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union and send Epstein survivors and people illegally detained by ICE in their place.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Just because this Trumpian-Republican government is corrupt, doesn’t mean the world is corrupt.

🤔 That's MAGARep math. Actually, there would be no one left in the TrumpIsAFelon administration.

The candidate for US Senate endorsed by Gov. Brian Kemp didn’t vote for 20 years, including the 2016 & 2020 presidential elections. apnews.com/article/dere...
