E.P.A. Weakens Limits on Mercury From Coal Plants

MAHA doing strong work this week! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/c...

Trump plans to send $10 billion in funds that Congress hasn’t appropriated from the US Treasury to an organization that he will continue to chair personally even after he is out of office.

This is looting.

The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...

Jesus Christ these people are monsters.

Worry, Don't Panic, Over Trump's Efforts to Subvert the Elections America's system is quite foolproof but he can still try to delegitimize it

His attacks on the midterms are real and dangerous… and aren’t going to work. Running down the case for an optimistic threat assessment @theunpopulist.net :

Beautiful morning for Fort Collins Winter Bike to Work Day 2026! #biketowork

Dork actually trotted out "This is america, we speak american in america" and "Taco trucks on every corner"

Not to mention that Trump effectively torpedoed bipartisan immigration reform legislation so that he could run on the issue in 2024.

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

But later that week, as F.B.I. agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Ms. Good’s S.U.V., they received orders to stop, according to several people with knowledge of the events who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The orders, they said, came from senior officials, including Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, several of whom worried that pursuing a civil rights investigation — by using a warrant obtained on that basis — would contradict President Trump’s claim that Ms. Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer” who fired at her as she drove her vehicle.

Kash Patel, a podcaster selected because of his fierce loyalty to the President, told FBI agents not to investigate the details on Renee Good's shooting because it would contradict the President. Fact matter less than the King's opinion in a personalist regime.

Trump Posts Video Portraying the Obamas as Apes

NYT: “The depiction of Mr. and Mrs. Obama as apes perpetuates a racist trope promoted by slave traders and segregationists,” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Every American needs to watch this:

The president constantly lying about stolen elections, after staging a coup attempt, & now threatening to federalize & steal future elections, should be the primary news story in the country 24/7 & on every front page until he is impeached & removed next week.

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins President Trump now says it was Attorney General Pam Bondi who insisted DNI Tulsi Gabbard attend the FBI raid in Georgia. Last night, he told NBC he didn't know why she was there. And Gabbard said in a letter to Congress that "the president specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant."

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.

Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

Trump: i’m at war with minnesota like i was with venezuela bsky.app/profile/leba...

Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official

Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.”

Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

Screenshot of a TikTok video with error message at top saying “your video is under review and can’t be shared right now.”

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

I've done the same though nobody would likely try to impersonate me. I've recently been wondering if I should just nuke the account completely.

These guys are just so predictably weird
