This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. Itβs standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
Following reports that anti-voting activists are coordinating with the White House on an emergency executive order allowing President Donald Trump to take control of voting, top Democratic lawmakers warned Trump is setting the stage to steal the midterms.

βWe are at a defining moment in our nationβs history,β Spanberger said. βVirginians and Americans across the country are contending with rising costs, chaos in their communities, and a real fear of what each day might bring.β
NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated a network of friendly Customs & Border Protection officers in the US Virgin Islands at the same time that he was allegedly sex trafficking there. The friendly relationships led to an FBI criminal investigation after Epstein's death. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

"Rubioβs speech presented Europe with a Trumpism with a human face. But beneath the veneer, his speech was not substantively different from Vanceβs hostile message, nor did it announce any meaningful departure from policies openly hostile to Europeβs interests."

"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee Americaβs health. The risks are so immediate and constant that it can be difficult to keep track of them all."

Ongoing, staggering betrayal of the West, of democracy, of America itself. We are now functionally aligned with Russia, and not Europe. And why? What in the world is in it for us?
All of this is making us less prosperous, less safe, and less free and our leaders should be fighting it far harder.
Trump never gave a damn about freedom for the Venezuelan people. He just wants the oil.
DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

2026 is turning out to be a rough year for Trump and Trumpism.
He is much weaker today, and we are stronger.

While the media sells ICEβs shake down man, Homan, as a reasonable mass deportation officer, remember he is also spending billions of tax payer dollars on concentration warehouses.

"Any contrary evidence - we all know this was investigated up one side and down the other - do you want to know how much is in that affidavit?"
"Hmm...very little?"
"That would be an overstatement."
@weissmann.substack.com talks the Fulton County raid affidavit with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social:
"Zelensky said that Russia and the United States were discussing bilateral economic agreements worth some $12 trillion, including deals that would affect Ukraine"
(Note: there are not $12 trillion worth of deals to be done in Russia)

Another US lethal strike on a boat, this one in the eastern Pacific. Total attacks now up to 38, killing at least 128.
As with previous boat bombings, in violation of US law and international treaties, without any causus beli, when the US wasnβt attacked, and hasnβt even advanced stated goals.
For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.
A gentle reminder that many states βincluding Illinois β allow you to obtain body cam footage through FOIA if youβre the subject of the encounter.
"This has become a defining moment not just in reining in ICE and DHS, but in reining in Trump. The Europeans got him to retreat a few weeks ago. It is our turn now."

If the 300+ people who were just shamefully fired from the Washington Post united and started a new media thing of their own, Iβd donate immediately.
So would millions of people worldwide.
You all could build something very powerful.
And truly independent.
So surprising the Ed Martin, formerly in charge of the Weaponization Working Group at DOJ, weaponized grand jury information to target Trump political foes and has been booted from HQ. Hope he gets to keep the trench coat.

"This theory reaches truly outer-space levels of nuttiness rarely seen even in the second Trump administration. And yet itβs now made its way to the president, and it may potentially be providing a framework for an active FBI investigation."
While vetting the Epstein files, the FBI created a list of prominent names mentioned in the documentsβand they noted which people had "salacious information" about them in the records. Trump was on the "salacious" list. Bill Clinton was not.
