Massie not backing down.

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:

Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

Thanks

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

In a nutshell, the Dem lodestar should be: "ICE is bad, and immigration is good"

Trump insider Tom Barrack kept in regular contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years, files show Tom Barrack, a top U.S. diplomat and longtime friend of President Trump, networked and socialized with Epstein for years, CBS News found.

Trump's longtime confidant Thomas Barrack, now serving as U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, was in regular, close contact with Jeffrey Epstein for years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, a CBS News analysis of over 100 texts and email exchanges shows.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

... Real trials of charges against Bondi and Noem and Vance and Trump. With real evidence and witnesses.

Make clear to that jury of 100 that the world will forever remember their votes and whether they were faithful to the Constitution they've sworn to uphold.

I think I’m going to go in a different direction for health advice.

What a humongous piece of shit

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “It’s important to remember there’s more of us than them — every one of us can be sand in the gears of an injustice.”

Short term, medium term, long term: We have to stop funding ICE. Period.

#stopICE

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Good thing Fox doesn’t do this.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Why was Mar-a-Lago a location where women continued to be trafficked from. We have questions for President Trump. And the broader issue here is why wasn't this investigated when these accusations were heard by the FBI years ago?"

This.

Every democrat attending that mess should bring a survivor with them.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.

Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs.

Peter Thiel.

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?

• She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.
• She’s deported fewer people than Obama.
• She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters.

Why hasn’t he fired her?

Trump Nominates an Apostle of ‘White Erasure’ for the State Department

White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @camcgrady.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.

Let’s put our heads together, and start a new country up.

Repeat after me:
An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.

Also:
Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

When you’ve seen the polling

Trump surrounds himself with white nationalists, fraudsters, grifters, and sex abusers. Some are all four, including him.
