I’m done hearing about the Epstein files, I want to hear about the Epstein trials.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

AOC describes what has happened in Gaza as a genocide, praises the idea of wealth taxes and has condemned corporate monopolies. Those positions are correct, and they are shared by many Democratic voters.

But not by most of the party’s other 2028 hopefuls. trib.al/tjJdp9t

Counterpoint: No.

ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.

From joining Sanders on the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to endorsing Mamdani to her comments in Munich, Ocasio-Cortez keeps showing prescience and depth. Perhaps the right woman is staring right in front of us, and we should embrace her leadership. trib.al/meBekRF

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist!

Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

It’s a loyalty test. It’s always a loyalty test. And every time Republicans feign ignorance or hem and haw, it gives him the green light to go even further.

Good thing the US withdrew from the WHO and have an anti-vaccine crackpot as head of HHS. What an idiotic shot in the foot this administration is.

Trump: ‘We should take over the voting’ Trump, as usual, offered no evidence for any of his claims.

President Donald Trump urged Republicans to seize control of elections and place voting under national authority Monday — one of his most explicit signals yet that he plans to interfere with the workings of democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.

If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

After Rafael Cruz read the Epstein files …

How should we respond to Trump’s tyranny? History shows us the answer.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Stephen Miller is trying to rig the election.

His plan escalated from militarized agents terrorizing our streets to Patel targeting voter rolls in Fulton County.

I introduced an amendment to stop the federal government from seizing election records or voting machines. Senate Dems must add it now.

Governor of LOUISIANA talking about about street safety and crime? Beyond parody, 1984 levels of projection and propaganda.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."
--Homan in February

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Abolish ICE.
Prosecute the murderers.
Impeach Noem.
Impeach Miller.
Impeach Trump.

Brother calls Ilhan Omar suspect ‘right-wing extremist,’ has hated Somalis for years Exclusive: ‘In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t,’ Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother told The Independent

NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social:

“I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”

"In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added.

Minority in votes, not in public opinion. I refuse to cede the U.S. to Trump MAGA fascists because that's how things have been done in the past. Senate Majority Leader McConnell denied tge appointment of a SCOYUS judge after Scalia's death to POTUS, but allowed Trumo to repkace RBG. Precedent, bitch

Public pressure. They can hold daily press conferences exposing the current atrocities. Town halls. National addresses. What they're doing currently is not enough, and saying "that's all they have" is defeatist and bullshit in the face of authoritarianism and fascism, sorry.

Yes, they don't have the numbers. That doesn't mean to give up and retreat. Put the numbers up, make the opposition vote and attempt to defend every atrocity. NOT fighting and pulling every lever of power is not an option. Keep up the pressure. Push public opinion and each representative's morals.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

YouTube video by Democracy Docket WARNING: Trump’s Fascist Takeover Has Accelerated | Ruth Ben-Ghiat

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump’s second term is accelerating an authoritarian playbook at a speed the U.S. has never seen. Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins me to explain how expansionism, paramilitary policing, election sabotage, and propaganda mirror past fascist regimes, and why this moment is uniquely dangerous.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Abolish ICE.
Prosecute the murderers.
Impeach Noem, Bondi, Trump.

Enough words, put it into action. Tomorrow. Show up or shut up.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
