“It’s no longer a political calculus. It’s a moral and legal and Constitutional obligation of Congress to [impeach]. It would be a violation of the oath of office for a member of Congress not to push for impeachment when it is possible.”

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

“It is unclear why the materials are missing.”

Jeez, I wonder if we’ll ever be able to solve this mystery?

This sounds great to me. Let’s kill it now. Consumer-facing AI is garbage tech desperately seeking a problem to solve.

you ever just want to scream into a jar and then throw that jar at someone

NEW: Trump says he will shoot himself in the foot, you in the foot, everybody in the foot, maybe both feet, okay definitely both feet, that'll fix it, it's feets-shootening-time here in the USofA

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

This case is insane:

ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*

The young man they killed had no criminal history.

All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.

We don't know officers' names.

We don't have footage.

This is because shooting American citizens in the street is not constitutionally protected.

Deeply disingenuous people.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

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...

Oh, okay. I'll bite.

The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution.

The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.

BREAKING: How the Trump administration will determine the “right” voters

Absolute monsters.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Nothing describes the soul of the Republican Party more than Pam Bondi citing the stock markets as her excuse for not going after pedophile billionaires.

18-month-old girl hospitalized with respiratory failure in ICE detention, lawyers say Dilley Immigration Processing Center in rural Texas withheld medication after ‘gravely ill’ toddler was sent back into its custody, according to federal lawsuit

4. Medical malpractice. Here’s why I say stopping this detention-to Texas pipeline is life of death.

An 18-month old hospitalized after nearly dying of three simultaneous respiratory infections. When she returned to the camp, DHS withheld her meds.

I thought this was a fake quote.

It's not. It's verbatim. From the head of the Health & Human Services Dept.

The guy in complete control of Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, the CDC, the FDA & the NIH.

This is what 77.2 million Trump voters & ~85 million 3rd party/non-voters enabled.

House Republicans just passed the #SaveAmericaAct. It is a slap in the face to military families. 🇺🇸 This bill forces overseas military spouses to fly home to prove citizenship in person. It's unworkable, unfair, and disenfranchises those sacrificing the most. #HandsOffHerVote

i think she's actually evil and i want not prepared for how awful this was

photo of Pam Bondi testifying in the foreground as a group of 7 women and 1 men raise their hands

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

things have not changed here. please, if you’re not in minnesota, do not look away. please prepare where you are. this is what they’ll do to your community next.

Rep. Neguse: “The man in that video, the one…allegedly yelling 'kill em' at police officers on Jan. 6. His name is Jared Wise."

Bondi: "He does work for us."

Neguse: "This is who you choose…to hire at DOJ?"

Bondi: "I believe he was pardoned by President Trump."
