Texas Dems Stand on Business amid Voting Rights 911 The battle for voting rights heads to the Supreme Court, and plays out in states from Texas to Illinois.

ICYMI: On Monday night’s TJRS, @Sherrilyn Ifill laid out what’s at stake in the Texas gerrymandering fight and an upcoming SCOTUS case that could further weaken the Voting Right Act. www.joyannreid.com/p/texas-dems...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Funny. Not so funny.

It is a complete endrun around national security channels to use an insecure device and app to discuss highly classified, imminent military plans.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) a crime for people entrusted with national defense info to disclose it to others out of gross negligence.

This is a good piece that lays out all the stakes and consequences that *should* exist.

We are living through a real life version of the right wing conspiracy theory about Soros controlling everything, but Musk is a right wing billionaire so Republicans are fine with it bsky.app/profile/samd...

Punchbowl News reporting that Trump and Hegseth plan to start firing top generals, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who was overwhelmingly Senate-approved for a 4-year term back in 2023.

No one can say they weren’t warned.

and this is made all the more clear by the fact that i delineate and distinguish more genuine DEI criticisms from the right’s segregationist impulse

the explicit argument of my piece is that FOR THE POLITICAL RIGHT, and specifically the Trump administration, the anti-DEI crusade is anti-integration.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Dear business owners that voted for Trump,

You could have had $50K in capital and a robust SBA. Instead, DOGE is cancelling all your government contracts and putting you out of business so he can have the contracts for himself.

McConnell voting to confirm Kash Patel right after officially announcing his retirement was a perfectly timed fuck you to the country

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

D.C. U.S. attorney probing Democrats over alleged threats, documents show Analysts say Ed Martin’s ‘Operation Whirlwind,’ which targets statements by Democrats and others about Elon Musk and Supreme Court justices, is meant to stifle criticism.

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism.

A blue graphic with white text that reads: What Democrats Did Today February 19, 2025 —Florida Democratic lawmakers filed legislation to overturn the state’s six-week abortion ban — California Governor Gavin Newsom proposed $125 million in natural disaster relief —DNC Chair Ken Martin met with Democratic organizers in Houston, Texas —Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers released a state budget that invests billions in education and Medicaid expansion—and makes the wealthy pay their fair share —Georgia Democrats introduced legislation to give Georgians who safely store their firearms a tax credit

Here’s what Democrats did today (February 19):

Another day of good stuff.

US objects to calling out ‘Russian aggression’ in G7 statement on Ukraine Trump administration splits with allies on holding Moscow responsible for war

It’s amazing to me that people still question whether or not Trump is a stooge for Putin.

New:

DOGE's spending has been secret.

No longer.

My colleagues have uncovered it.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.
