Joe

this big primary is now exactly a week away!

Thank you to Dan Mannarino for having me on Pix on Politics.

Tune in to PIX11 at 6:30 PM where I’ll be talking about how we root out corruption, hardwire fairness into our economy, and protect our democracy.

Also, anyone with half a brain could have told the HCDO they were doomed in LD-32 (I still remember being completely unconcerned at Progs splitting the vote when th possibility was brought up to me)

For context, that seat ALMOST voted for Eleana Little in 2023 — WITH THE LINE!

It is sheer lunacy to oppose reigning in Trump, as we stand on the brink of another 20-year conflict in the Middle East.

Congress alone can declare war, and waging wars of aggression is banned under international law.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.

We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

This moment demands bold leadership for Wisconsin. That's why I'm running for Governor.

Wisconsin, let’s get to work.

Twitter sucks

👀 Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Good question

They don’t realize how ironic it is.

Twitter down twice in the same day lmao

The 2000 Presidential Election in New York State, a contest between TN Vice President Al Gore, and TX Governor George W. Bush saw Gore win the state by a strong D+25%, solidifying the once most pivotal swing state state that had been trending towards the Democrats throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

The backlash against Trump is showing up in hard data, not just polls New data on protest activity shows organized anti-Trump actions are 4x the size they were in the president's first term. Your weekly political data roundup for February 15, 2026.

New hard data show the same pattern of intense anti-Trump backlash that polls do. Protests against Trump are happening at 4x the rate as 2017-18, and special election swings offer more data on the same point

ICE conducted a raid outside an N.J. church Sunday morning, says congressman, who’s investigating U.S. Rep. Rob Menendez called the incident "concerning."

ICE raided a church in Union City on Sunday, a clear violation of New Jersey's Safe Communities Act.

Families go to church to find peace. No one practicing their faith should have to wonder if ICE agents are waiting outside after the service ends.

With Latest Rollback, the U.S. Essentially Has No Clean-Car Rules

After a year of spectacular deregulation, “the United States will essentially have no laws on the books that enforce how efficient America’s passenger cars and trucks should be.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/c...

Love the signs & banners at the @handsoffnyc.bsky.social actions? Many hands are needed to make them! Luckily @manyhandsnyc.bsky.social has launched a very cool workshop where you can help. Rosa found it, of course … and even got me in on the action (well, ok, I just held down the stencil).

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Don't even have to google it to know its Gottheimer

the random-ass townships that mejia carried with large vote shares like butler, boonton, and rockaway are crazy to me
