I was hoping for Rep. Crockett in this Senate race as she distinguished herself with intelligence, acumen, humor and being direct in her commentary that clearly dissected the issues and attitudes. I was hoping for her elevation to Senate after outstanding congressional representation.

Cruelty and violence is the Republican Way. Remember Trump's commentary giving license to police to "rough up" those opposing them during one of his rallies? Violence: A regular purposeful right wing talking/acting point!

I don't know why a Senator would insert himself in something like that, unless he literally wanted to push his way around. Now he'll probably be bragging to his friends that he broke the hand of a US Marine and that makes him really tough.

Imagine if Democrats had done this to a veteran....24/7 news and outrage on right-wing channels.

This is absolutely on point. The D's have been working the onslaught of injustice perpetrated by the R's tirelessly. D's are using the system loudly, lawfully & honorably to challenge and hold accountable. But the constant disingenuous "not enough" disinformation follows relentlessly.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Trump is lying.

I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.

There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

But today the R's just say: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

Let this in. Half of 🇺🇸 struggles to pay rent, MUCH higher % for young people — average first home buyer is now 40 (!)

“housing market = wealth transfer mechanism from young renters to existing owners”

The system is rigged. We can’t go on like this.

Spanberger: "Trump continues to cede economic power and technological strength to Russia, bow down to China, bow down to a Russian dictator, and make plans for a war with Iran…Is the president working to keep Americans safe both at home and abroad? We all know the answer is no."

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Newsom: It’s the last stop. There’s no Board of Peace here. You can’t reestablish a new Supreme Court with a billion-dollar tithe and 27 of your friends from overseas. It’s time this guy starts to understand that he cannot operate as an imperial president — that he is subject to the rule of law.

JD Vance has changed his name, his look, his religion, his positions many issues and people, but he won’t ever be able to change the fact that he’s a smug, insufferable, unlikable ass.

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does.

Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?

Why Everyone's Talking About Stephen Colbert, CBS, The FCC And James Talarico YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

If you have been following the clumsy — no, pathetic — attempt by CBS lawyers to collaborate with the FCC in reviving the pointless "equal time" rule, using Stephen Colbert and his show as their playground... then watch him explain it from his POV.

Fascinating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQIl...

Screenshot of headline reading: Measles spreading beyond the center of the Utah-Arizona outbreak Cases are now popping up in more touristy areas of Utah, according to a health official.

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000.

RFK Jr. must resign.

Crockett: You have a president who consistently is obsessing over two women of color that are members of the house, I don't know what black woman hurt him in his past, honey, but it is really taking him through it.

😕

We have now entered the "His Opponents Are Afraid of Falling Out of Windows" stage of Donald Trump's emulation of Vladmir Putin.

We need more people like this guy.

(Sorry if any of those words are misspelled, but I find that it's difficult to type with tears in your eyes.)

It’s not just who leads. It’s who enables.

Dear Pam Bondi, (A Letter From A Father) Dear Ms Bondi,

I wonder how a human being finds themselves in that chair in front of the watching world in a moment of such gravity, so completely bereft of empathy, so seemingly unencumbered by other people’s suffering, and so strident in the face of accountability...

Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “a form of ID issued consistent with the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the US…” 1/

Anthropic AI Safety Researcher Quits—And Warns Of World ‘In Peril’ Mrinank Sharma, who led the safeguards research team at Anthropic, shared his resignation letter on X, which quickly garnered nearly 1 million views.

“Anthropic AI Safety Researcher Warns Of World ‘In Peril’ In Resignation *** ‘We appear to be approaching a threshold where our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences,’ Sharma wrote in his letter.” 2/9/26

This is where we are. So you think you'll be able to vote next time around?

Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap' The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow.

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously.

Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.
