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."

"Racial authoritarianism" is the word.

Lovely rendition of “America, the Beautiful” by Brandi Carlile. Brought back memories of being inspired by my country without a tyrant trying to destroy it.

“Confidential” Agreements Show Trump Administration’s Plans for States’ Voter Data At least 10 states have handed over their full voter files to the Justice Department.

A confidential document reveals both the Trump administration’s plans to interfere with the states’ authority to run elections and how dangerously insecure the sensitive data will be in the department’s hands.

Listening to “America, The Beautiful” really puts the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump administration into sharp relief.

This is, unfortunately, a very big deal. trib.al/Q1AxmtK

A Nisedom We have no specific word in English to convey the idea of intricately nested entities where life forms exist within other life forms, within other life forms … at various scales.  Perhaps such nest…

Schiff on Gabbard's involvement in Georgia: "All of this is intended to send a message and the message is, 'We will not tolerate or accept an election that we lose.' That's why in these budget discussions we need to make sure, among other things, that we don't have ICE agents at polling places."

BREAKING: on this Super Bowl Sunday, Epstein Survivors have just released this PSA:

“Stand with us.  Tell Attorney General Pam Bondi IT’S TIME FOR THE TRUTH”

Please share everywhere!

After DHS agents beat Alberto Castañeda Mondragón so badly they fractured his skull in 8 places, he couldn’t even remember that he had a daughter-much less when he taught her to dance

But he remembers when-although he was already handcuffed-they punched and beat him with a steel baton

ABOLISH ICE

Incredible.

Standing ovation!!!

NYC

Protected against illegal ICE actions

Judicial warrants are legal

Intimidation, barging in, terrifying families isn’t!

Thanks to Mayor Mamdani

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

If a person hasn't paid 4th-quarter estimated taxes for 2025 and doesn't wish to do so because of misuse of taxpayer funds and to thwart giving Tr**p access to those resources through the 10 billion dollar lawsuit against the IRS, is there any legal protection? Asking for a friend.

Despite threats of deportation, these workers voted to strike.

This week, Haitian migrants faced an uncertain future as Trump fought to revoke their legal status and deport them. Despite these threats, the largely immigrant union workers still voted to strike. From us and @thefern.org:

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

Man pardoned in U.S. Capitol riot pleads guilty to threatening Hakeem Jeffries A New York man has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge in connection with a death threat aimed at U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries

He committed a crime, Trump pardoned him, he committed a new crime. Law and order president? Lol.

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

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney.

‘A profound sense of being hunted’: with all eyes on Minneapolis, ICE arrests continue quietly across the US Immigration operations are still stoking fear and disrupting the ability to go to work, school or doctor’s appointments

In recent weeks there have been day laborers swept up at a Home Depot in San Diego. A taco truck vendor chased down outside a church in Los Angeles. Immigrants arrested at check-in in North Carolina, and during traffic stops in the nation’s capital.

The Long Ukrainian Winter How You Can Help

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help

“Trump may be racist but you’re fat” isn’t the sick burn whatever moron runs the GOP account thinks it is

Why did ICE detain a 7 year old child from Oregon-and then ship her to Texas

And why have they done this same thing to 3,800 other children

It’s deplorable. And make no mistake. Donald Trump is to blame

😕

It was only a matter of time before the mom from last week's SNL skit called in to CSPAN
