"Polls have shown voters saying that they believe that the president isn't focused on the issues that matter most to them," Tamara Keith says. "This war is affecting... the economy in a way that is completely counter to what the president promised when he ran for office." https://to.pbs.org/4szdp2L
I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!
Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.
“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥
So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Same reckless brutality, but no masks.
PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," helped spur innovation. But they're also insidious to human health. https://to.pbs.org/4qRXD2m
The American people should have gotten a clear explanation as to why we bombed Iran and what the end game is. Instead, they got this:
‘We’ll run out of food this week’: how attacks on Iran leave Gaza under siege
Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.
The power to declare war belongs to Congress—not to Trump. His strikes on Iran shred the Constitution and risk dragging us into an endless war.
Congress needs to vote on a War Powers Resolution NOW and rein in Trump’s warmongering.
Finding out the DCCC take $$ from Palantir's PAC just confirms: two cheeks, same butt.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
CONGRESS declares war.
NOT President tRumpstein.

Here’s what residents have to say.
I'm seeing posts claiming that former-prince Andrew was arrested for engaging in pedophilia with Jeffrey Epstein. He was arrested for sharing confidential government intel with Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy.

No one is above the law—it doesn't matter how powerful or privileged they are. Not a prince, not a president.
GEORGIA — “beloved teacher” Dr. Linda Davis killed in a car crash as ICE chased a man through the streets: www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/s...
Even the ICE release (which blames Dems🤔) says his only crime was being undocumented: www.ice.gov/news/release...
Fuck ICE and fuck this fascist regime.
It’s not that they’re into kids. They’re into violating the worst taboos in our society and getting away with it. It’s a flex on how above the law they are bc they have bought the govt and economy… the entire system. They get off on feeling untouchable even when they commit the most heinous crimes.
You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House.

Voter fraud is not a real problem.
Our problem isn’t non-citizens illegally voting in our elections. The real problem is American citizens not voting in our elections.
And our even bigger problem is voter suppression.
ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.
But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.
Experts fear the vaccine-preventable virus has regained a foothold and that the U.S. may soon follow Canada in losing the achievement of having eliminated it.

It's not a hard question. We're with the people, not the predators. Collapse the Epstein Class.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
