"'He saw himself as someone who could...appeal to working-class whites & poor Blacks, unite them...Mr. Jackson’s political journey remained painfully unfinished, [yet] his aspirations & frustrations are as relevant to American politics now as they were...in 1988.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

They hoard their money in off-shore, tax-sheltered accounts while Americans run GoFundMe campaigns to cover the costs of illnesses, health care, tragedies, and emergencies. They are the worst of humanity. #Taxbillionaires

Can confirm.

When you govern for donors instead of people and know you’re going to lose in November, the only way to hold onto power is to change the rules. That is precisely what the SAVE America Act is designed to do. We condemn this dangerous bill and urge the Senate to prevent its passage.

Another day, another Trump horror: "[M]ore than a dozen pregnant minors have been placed at the Texas facility....Some were as young as 13, & at least half...became pregnant as a result of rape...Their pregnancies are considered high risk by definition, particularly for the youngest girls."

Dear news media, When you question Trump, don’t ask: "Do you still have confidence in Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick despite his ties to Jeffrey Epstein?" Ask: "Why haven’t you fired Howard Lutnick for lying to the American people about his friendship with child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein?"

Country Singer, songwriter Charley Crockett well said......

More obstruction from Gabbard a la Trump: “The law is clear: when a whistleblower makes a complaint & wants to get it before Congress the agency has 21 days to relay it....This whistleblower complaint was issued in May. We didn’t receive it until February.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

“Good for the voters. But the elites are slower. They may be getting there, at long last. Their behavior brings to mind the alleged remark by the French politician, Alexandre Ledru-Rollin, in 1848: ‘There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.’” www.thebulwark.com/p/department...

The *only* response to this is all the other governors drop out.

FINALLY. But too little, too late, as the measles outbreak in South Carolina surpasses 900, revealing how many people RJK, Jr. and Dr. Oz deceived. This is a travesty. #measles www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/w...

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

"'The pastors’ group that I’m in, we got together, and we agreed that if violence breaks out in Springfield, we have a duty to go right to the front of it and to call for peace,' he said..." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

Vile. There is no other word for this. His white supremacy has already been out in the open this past year--ever since his E.O. declaring race as biological. But once again he finds a way to a new low. Say it, everyone: This is pure evil. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsement—almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itself—still has his job

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead. He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

I get the freakout on social media about Trump wanting to nationalize elections, amplified by MSM fear for ratings. We should take it seriously, but we still have agency. Protest, yes—but also call your state AG and SOS and ask what they’re doing. Some are already preparing. Let’s not fear stop us…1

“Our civil society will never recover if it can’t mobilize against an autocrat who tried to shatter the bedrock of American democracy. Our democracy is in grave danger, and it’s long past time to say so.” www.thebulwark.com/p/its-the-de...

If only we could be so lucky.

This deaf high school senior shares about his experience of being detained without an interpreter. The cruelty is staggering. Everyone needs to organize & mobilize, so activate your friends & family by sharing this story & others. Go to rallies & Call your 2 Senators & your Rep at 202-224-3121.

Owner of the legendary Washington Post has killed it to please a clown who can barely read

Here in Illinois, we’re making sure that we have the evidence and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent against Donald Trump’s administration.

🔥Senator Mark Kelly, Cpt., USN (Ret.) with messaging yesterday after leaving Federal Court yesterday. He continues to fight for the 1A and for honoring the Constitution. Messaging matters. Thank you, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/eP5Eg...

A budget is a moral document.

So....Tom Homan has changed nothing but the window dressing on ICE, but actually, not even that.

"Bezos [should] consider turning the Post into a nonprofit, endowed by Bezos but operating independently of him...." Since Bezos's estimated net worth is now at $250 billion, Ruth Marcus proposes he give 1% of it to endow WaPo as a nonprofit "indefinitely." #WaPo www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

So the “elected” President with his elected majority House and Senate says they have to takeover elections because Dems cheat. Make that argument make sense.

Excellent news.

Whiteness is a helluva drug. 48% of Republicans are a-okay with "using a person’s looks or the language they speak as a reason to check their immigration status." Meanwhile, Trump, whom they adore, is the convicted felon, rapist & Epstein bud, brazen crook, etc. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

The U.S. ranks 40th in healthcare—dead last on this list—yet Congress keeps shoveling billions into ICE. We fund raids, cages, and weapons while people die waiting for care. This isn’t incompetence. It’s priorities. And they’re lethal. #FundHealthcareOverICE

@jemartisby.bsky.social w/ his incisive historical insights & analysis. Everyone in America should be taught this! Let it sink in: We in the U.S. were complicit in the Holocaust before our military then fought against the Nazis. THIS is American history. jemartisby.substack.com/p/dont-start...

Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

. Trump and Epstein . . . ... a pal is a wonderful thing . . . and may every day be another wonderful secret. Release the damn Epstein Files ! 💠 👊 💠

TRUMP IS A DISGRACE! youtube.com/shorts/tTsR7...

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed? That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

FORTY PHOTOS WITH NO CLOTHES!!! This administration is disseminating child p-rn. Outrageous! Despicable!

The ONLY person who believes Trump's lie IS TRUMP, HIMSELF.
