Gov. Gavin Newsom’s time as governor of California is ending — he cannot run again because of term limits. With no clear successor, the contest to replace him is wide open. Here is an overview of the candidates.
Good. Couldn't happen to a more deserving pile of excrement.
In a new letter, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) says Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is “directly responsible for the decision to withhold the Epstein files from Congress.”

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?"
HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."
I can hear poor Aileen Cannon sobbing in a corner.
Hillary Clinton, on her own life purpose vs. America's pedophile führer and his feckless cult of low testosterone Republican pedophile protectors. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👇
People keep comparing MAGA/ICE/CBP/MAHA to 1930s Germany.
It's also more and more like late 1960s China, during Cultural Revolution. Or mid 1970s Cambodia, during "Year Zero."
A war against knowledge itself.

More federal judges have reached the "Don't make me pull the car over" stage.
Trump reveals he doesn’t know the difference between the Civil War and Reconstruction
People being more enraged about a f**k ICE pin than sick children in detention centers need to take a hard look at themselves. An expletive is clearly the less offensive thing here.

JUST IN: A federal judge says the Trump administration has been “terrorizing” refugees — violating the promise America made to them when they fled persecution at home — by locking them up illegally. He blocked the policy for those in MN storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
From colleague @pgeddington.com: the Trump administration put out a seeming reassurance that ICE would not be stationed *at* polling places. That still leaves plenty of room for mischief and it's best to be prepared on the legal issues.
When is someone going to investigate the real fraud in our govt? The big fraud?
After Steve Witkoff’s comments on Fox News about Russia and Putin, one thing needs to be said clearly and without spin: this war did not “just happen.” Vladimir Putin made the decision. He chose to invade. He chose escalation. He chose this war.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU
So much love.
⚡️Kremlin threatens to deploy navy if Europe seizes more Russian shadow fleet vessels.
Presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev, who had served as head of the FSB intelligence agency as well as secretary of the Security Council, made the threats on Feb. 17.
On this Presidents’ Day, it’s always good to mention our rich history and all of the presidents who were first at things.
Enjoy this comparison to what we have currently 🤦🏻♀️
Supporting Trump = supporting child predators. Any Republican who stands by Trump after this is complicit in child trafficking. Full stop.

Last night I spent many hours reading through the voluminous texts between Epstein and Bannon, wondering why no one has covered this in depth. But it turns out someone has! This is a good write up if you want to catch up: jacobin.com/2025/12/epst...
Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.
Interesting trend unfolding in this cycle's special elections (data courtesy of @the-downballot.com). In 2018, Dems way overperformed on average in heavily GOP districts; slightly in more competitive ones; and not at all in heavily Dem districts.
In 2026, they're gangbusters in all three.
"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."
The Texas Senate primary between Colin Allred, James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett is turning ugly. Why? Democrats infight instead of focusing on the bigger goal. Drop the name-calling. Beat a weak GOP incumbent. Show your best. Let voters decide. Unity wins elections. Infighting loses them.
If that former AUSA wants to seek accountability for being asked to dismiss that Medicare fraud prosecution, there are lawyers who can help her make a protected whistleblower disclosure in a way that won’t jeopardize her law license.
