We’ve moved onto the gaslighting portion of this hellish timeline.

Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover

LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

I went to Ohio to get the truth from Les Wexner, the billionaire who funded Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, we got completely implausible denials and β€œI don’t recall” answers.

Sadly not one GOP member showed up. Child rape should not be a partisan issue. But we will keep pursuing justice.

We’re talking about 1.3 million voters being simply NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE in the misnamed SAVE Act.

The only thing it might actually save is Republican butts that we are voting out of office.

Stephen Colbert Roasted CBS Over James Talarico. Here’s Why It Matters. The FCC didn’t need a ban. It changed the risk, and the fight is now playing out on air.

CBS declined to broadcast the James Talarico interview.

Stephen Colbert took it to YouTube.

He aired it anyway.

That’s holding the line.

Democrats are +22 on the generic ballot among independents in YouGov's latest survey. They are doing well with engaged voters and running ~even with people who don't follow news, a big shift left since 2024 ( www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...)

Lower and middle class consumers spend a far higher percentage of disposable income buying basic items. This isn't hard to understand, but our USTR doesn't seem to.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

β€˜Please come back’: Minnesota restaurants brace for a long recovery after ICE surge With no official bailout on the horizon, the restaurant community tries to save itself.

Recovery will not happen overnight, but we will rebuild. We can all make an impact by continuing to shop local.

We will help stabilize these businesses, protect jobs, and ensure Minnesota’s economy rebounds.

While there is no currently established legal or evidentiary link between the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons crisis and Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, both involve significant overlapping timelines and geographic proximity in New Mexico. -Google Gemini

Pretty fucking dodgy if you ask me.

Trump is also a failure at deportations. I don't think they used too put infants in camps.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

Don't be distracted. That panic in his eyes and the desperate, unintelligible tweets he writes at four in the morning shouting at the moon? They tell you all you need to know about a man who's about to drown like a rat in the vile scandal he finds himself smack in the middle of.

Feb 17 (Reuters) - Millions of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a "global criminal enterprise" that carried out acts meeting the legal
threshold of crimes against humanity, according to a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council.
The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the U.S. Justice Department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny.

Over 8000 attorneys, paralegals, and staff members have quit the DOJ, many with very public statements. Is this the law and order that republicans were talking about? We’re destroying every agency and institution to protect a bunch of rich pedophiles.

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.
