U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi answers questions from reporters after leaving a meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington

Nancy Pelosi: “We’re gonna win the House — we only need a few to win, but that’s not what this is about. I want 10x that. If we need 3 to win the House, I want 30 — we came out ahead on redistricting. They should never have gone down that path. They did, we won.”

Newsom: He’s a weak president — and that weakness is now on display globally. The only card he had left was these tariffs.

His entire economic policy has been mass deportations — and that’s beginning to unravel. His broader economic policies have obviously been aided and embedded in these tariffs

fellow leftists: when someone says to a politician "why are you not keeping to your campaign promises?" it doesn't help to go "lol did you really expect them to?" bc often the answer is no. they didn't. they're just trying to invoke some public accountability. stop being jerks.

Dayum. Just heard a minister say, as perhaps only Black ministers can, “We will fight until hell freezes over, and then we will fight on the ice.”
I’m stealing that!!

There is one fix: VOTE. Get some candidates in there who can defeat these politicians, judges etc who serve our rogue government.

Problems don’t exist

Tell Congress: Defund and Dismantle ICE URGENT: The Senate just hit pause on DHS funding, giving us until Friday, February 13 to demand Congress stop funding ICE. 2025 was the deadliest year in ICE custody in two decades—31 people died wh...

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Congress: Defund and Dismantle ICE. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Some day, and I hope very soon, Trump and the #GOP will finally realize that it is "We The People" that are the United States, not them. And it will be the United States that brings them all to justice. #MAGAIsADisease

. . . elsewhere. The helicopters and drones are still around. Many people are in hiding or basically sheltering in place. Lots of people still not going to work, lots of kids not going to school or doing school online. Things are still far from normal here & we still need help. 🧵

Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

#Trumpregime
The USA is no longer the leader of the western world. They're just another face of fascism in the world.

So cool - two Glass photographers living in different hemispheres started a Series showing “mirror” scenes from their two hemispheric perspectives. Twelve over the course of a year . Now I wish I could find an “earth sandwich” friend on the other side of the world .

Today’s Supreme Court ruling is an affirmation that the president is not above the law. Congress has constitutional authority over tariffs, and I am glad to see the highest court uphold this.

San Antonians and families across the country deserve lower costs, not reckless trade wars.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Hugh Hefner's Widow Says Photos Of Underage Girls Found In His Scrapbooks And Journals Crystal Hefner's lawyer said they have been informed that the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation is going to digitize the photos of the women and girls.

Huh? The guy who founded Playboy had nudes of young girls? The guy who lived in a bathrobe & had blow out parties? Who would believe it? Old, saggy, wealthy white guys; is there ever enough for them? And a 60 yr age gap kinda gives it away. 🤮But she's "shocked!"

When? I don't know. You're the leader. Why ask us?

Can Trump’s Plan for Warehouse Immigrant Detention Camps Be Stopped? ICE has the money it needs to turn warehouses into prisons for immigrants. But local pressure stopped one project in its tracks.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Remember this.

Quick question: if you could tell your representatives right now to impeach Kristi Noem, would you do it?

Well, here’s your chance:

Bill Clinton.
He and Hillary keep saying to release them all and the the truth come out.
