The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP. Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for. We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military. This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files. Except in the United States. Here: Zero shame, zero consequences. We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

Disgraceful doesn’t even begin to cover this.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

Yes, it should.

Although ICE agents absolutely should not be wearing masks, acting like the brutality will stop because their faces are showing is quite naive. Police forces brutalize people all the time with their faces outs, name tags, badges and body cams. The only solution is no ICE.

🚨BREAKING: The White House Thursday refused to rule out the presence of immigration enforcement at voting locations this November, a response that follows extremist rhetoric about placing federal forces at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 5 FEBRUARY 2026 THESE HORRIFIC TIMES Message From Dr Timothy Snyder (On Tryanny) Next Phase - ICE BIG RAMPUP "A Nationwide Network of Vast Detention Facilities. We can all do something in our life to push back against this ! SPEAK UP..PROTEST Make your VOICE HEARD"

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Another example of how Convicted Felon Donald Trump is a narcissistic sociopath, and cannot participate in a coherent conversation. 25th Amendment now! #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal

Hang on Ukraine and dont give up!!! Fight the oppressors.

Nothing says prayer breakfast like concentration camps

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Awful day for journalism. And ominous day for democracy.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate. It never really made sense.

Trump is suing the Pulitzer Prize board for handing out awards for The NY Times coverage of Russian collusion. attorneys for the board requested the unredacted Mueller report as well as any written responses Trump provided.

All of this.

After reading this, a better headline is “Trump and Gabbard Obstruct Whistleblower for 8 Months Citing Executive Privilege and Claiming it’s “Too Classified for Congress.”

The Everything Trump Touches Dies streak remains unbroken. Damn him for destroying another great piece of history to soothe his ego. Imagining the level of tacky in his 'renovation' is a scary thing.

In between all the fascism, it's also a MASSIVE crime wave.

Wowsers look at what happened to posts on Twitter/X about London crime after monetisation of posts was introduced… economist.com/britain/2026...

The survivors want a transparent release. If there's no coverup this release should have the 302 statements and prosecution memos to show who these rich and powerful men were.

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself… But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth… Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. ~ Robert Reich

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp: www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

Odd. I don't hear about mass shootings in the USA these days. Are all the gun wackos now hired by ICE so they don't need to satisfy themselves with mass shootings elsewhere anymore?

Update. Looks like FBI and DOJ will investigate after all. That’s a good development. Public pressure works. Of course it remains to be seen whether the investigation is fair and transparent.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Repubs: Children being mowed down in schools is acceptable price for having guns. Also Repubs: If you carry a gun and we don’t like you, we will execute you and blame you for your own murder bc you had a gun.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Across six top large language models, xAI’s Grok performed the worst at identifying and countering antisemitic content, according to a study published Wednesday by the Anti-Defamation League. Read more from @miasato.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/news/868925/...

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

www.boston.com/news/local-n... “Because if a Marine, an 18-year-old Marine did that, in Iraq in the middle of a war zone, he would be court-martialed. Because it is murder,” he said…

Nothing to do with being a Buckeye because I was fine with Bob Griesy back in the day but Fox News has got to end the torture of having to listen to Brady every freakin' week. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
