"I think what we’re seeing is 11-year-olds with the most powerful military in the entire world, which is a pretty scary thing to see in action. And also, doesn’t it really look, from the New York Times reporting at least, like Netanyahu just bulldozed Trump into this?" trib.al/PSNogHK

I think it was expected it would be a tough fight, but not for him to get pummeled.
Wow, the Dem primary turnout among Hispanic voters in Texas is going to be giving the GOP sweats for the next 8 months.
Take Zapata County - turnout in the Dem primary there yesterday was 143% the total number of votes Harris won in the 2024 general election. That's wild.
CENTCOM now says 3 F-15s were shot down by friendly fire over Kuwait. All crew members are alive and in good condition. 🤦♂️
Let's just have a fun, military spectacle in the Middle East.
What could go wrong?

TOMORROW: Hear from activists, foreign policy experts, and Members of Congress who are calling for immediate de-escalation in Iran and demanding immediate action to rein in Trump.
We’ll discuss actionable next steps and launch a nationwide push to tell every elected official no more endless wars.
Despite running as an anti-war candidate, Trump has ordered more military strikes against more countries than any other modern president.
He has attacked seven nations, three of which—Iran, Nigeria and Venezuela—had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes.
It’s a complete betrayal of MAGA.
Three American service members have been killed and five others seriously wounded during the U.S. attacks on Iran, the military said Sunday, marking the first American casualties in a major offensive that has sparked retaliation from the Islamic Republic.

A major attack launched by Israel and the United States killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Donald Trump announced Saturday, confirming an assassination. https://to.pbs.org/4cTE45I
So many of us warned that Donald Trump is a dangerous, reckless pathological liar who can’t be trusted except to take actions that enrich himself and save his own skin. This war will not distract us from demanding he be held accountable for his Epstein involvement & violations of our Constitution.
I want this for Louisville.
Keep working hard everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scott has spent the last 15 years of his life working in the highest echelons of government, as FL Governor (from 2011-2019) and as a U.S. Senator (since 2019), during which time he has undermined every effort to use the tools of governance to improve the public sphere.
Kentucky state Rep. Josh Calloway just filed a bill today that I believe would allow any woman who has an abortion to be charged with murder. #kyga26
BREAKING: We reached a settlement that requires the Trump administration to permanently maintain medical research that had been erased on a government website.
The government doesn't get to censor science.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
“None of the deportees are Cameroonian citizens. And almost all had received protection from American courts, which banned the government from sending them back to their home countries, where they would most likely face persecution, according to government documents obtained by The Times…”
We are less than two weeks away from the first primary races of 2026, and the GOP is scrambling to find its midterm messaging. @ezralevin.bsky.social, co-executive dir. of Indivisible, joins The Weeknight as Americans plan to hit the streets in “No Kings” events nationwide.
The government cannot stop undisclosed donors from giving an unlimited amount of money to a political candidate, but it can stop a private corporation from airing an interview with a candidate. Free speech!

VA News: VA undoes decades-old wrong and protects Veterans’ Second Amendment rights For immediate release February 17, 2026
Effective yesterday, VA made it more difficult for veterans to receive disability payments. Hours later, the department was bragging about protecting the 2nd Amendment.
Essentially, the Trump administration is abdicating VA's primary role and reason for existence to impress online MAGA chuds.
I got it. Going after high propensity Dems it seems.
After railing against narcoterrorists + deporting migrants w/no criminal record, President Trump pardoned the former Honduran president last year – then federal officials lifted his ICE hold & whisked him to the Waldorf Astoria

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
Thermobarics (or fuel-air bombs) are straight up evil weapons. They are similar in mechanism to the dust explosions in old flour mills, but engineered to be much deadlier. They really must be banned.
More reporting: At the WEF in Davos, Moderna’s CEO said Moderna will "stop investing in late-stage vaccine trials that are a crucial part of the approval process," b/c “You cannot make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market."
