REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “The only people benefitting from any of this are Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, people making those drones…”💰

The war industry bomb makers are raking in our taxpayer dollars as people die.

#NoWarOnIran

Asking the wrong question is one of the oldest disinformation ploys.

The right question is NOT whether Ayatollah Khamenei's regime was evil and a sponsor of terrorism.

The RIGHT question is whether simply bombing Iran will lead to a change for the better or just make things worse.

Trump destroys.

Kristi Noem must go now.

It's long past time she steps down, and it doesn't excuse her from justice or accountability.

She believes she’s above the law while taking away fathers from children with cancer and mothers being shot in the face by her agents.

We demand answers.

NPR: “What would happen in Oklahoma if everyone without legal status working a job disappeared tomorrow?”

Gov. Stitt (R): “It would be devastating.”

President Trump didn't mention at all in his SOTU the most significant changes to health care he and Republicans in Congress have engineered: the biggest Medicaid cuts ever, expiration of enhanced ACA premium subsidies, and scaling back recommended vaccines.

My gosh, is there anything better than your kid, arms open, asking for just one more hug?

As you figure out how to tackle all that feels heavy or overwhelming today, I hope you’ll pour your energy into the little things, too.

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

Nothing prettier than a cardinal in the snow. Still coming down pretty good here in NJ.

#FinstadForCongress issues a fundraising appeal prompting the question "Who is the rubber stamp" ?

#BradFinstad issued a statement on November 3 2025 that #Trump has endorsed him for #Elections2026 promising to "work closely with President Trump" (aka BE the RUBBER STAMP)

#TimeForChange in #MN01

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

President Obama on how the people of Minnesota having the courage to stand up for each other and our democracy is what gives him hope.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

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...

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

(From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

There hasn’t been a moment in nearly 6 years that Heather hasn’t said, “Yeah…you’re the guy that can do that.” Every step of the way she’s been the one with unrelenting faith and support. From shipping me $80 worth of medicines so I wouldn’t ever cough at a COVID Field Hospital as I left for NYC….

My universe revolves around you. Happy Valentine’s Day, Gabby.

this message from the lake of the isles pencil on 2/6 is so sweet

“Minneapolis, I have been watching over you this difficult month, while ICE agents occupy us and kill us… I have never been prouder to stand among you and to belong to this community.“

BREAKING
Feb 10 2026

In a Bipartisan rebuke over #SpeakerJohnson's statement that this would not happen, #Trump suffers major loss on #tariffs.
The House rejected a procedural motion that would’ve blocked lawmakers from bringing up resolutions disapproving of #TrumpTariffs

#RepFinstad backed Trump

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

What evil.

She was asking a question about whether the Epstein survivors have received justice. But Vance wants her to “smile and have some fun” while asking the president a question about trafficking victims. bsky.app/profile/fact...

“Your mountainish inhumanity”

We’re doing this to ourselves

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Excellent letter from state Senator Jim Abeler.

Letter: Finstad's response on ICE fails his constituents As a constituent of Congressional District 1, I am calling on Rep. Brad Finstad to resign.

Writer probably did not know about #RepFinstad's #StPeter constituent who was confronted by armed #ICE agents on Jan 30 otherwise that would have been mentioned also
