Congressman Jared Huffman served a #CupOfJoe that’s undeniably strong.

“If we’re honest about what’s going on, we have a madman in the White House who is running roughshod, who is running the biggest, most corrupt criminal grift in American history out of the White House.”

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

Tell Congress to oppose the SAVE Act Suite of bills | League of Women Voters Tell your Senators to oppose the SAVE Act.

Anyone who votes for or supports the Save Act is a traitor

Ladies, once again the task falls disproportionately on you-this bill will affect you the most

If you have men in your life who support this, u need to educate & if they don't change, shame them and cut them out

Yep

It sucks

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

Ukraine is actively protecting our troops and Russia is actively helping Iran target them.

But every single time he's tested, Trump sides with Putin. It's the most consistent he is on any topic. No matter what they do, Trump is on Team-Russia.

At this point it really doesn't matter why.

The International Energy Agency’s 32 member countries agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil to offset supply disruptions from the Iran war. Yet oil prices keep climbing.

The most evil monster in America today is the Republican Party and their evil media.
If you really want to know who the Republican Party is?…listen to their accusations of the Democrats.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

Just like 2020 when Trump downplayed over 100 service members with traumatic brain injuries as “headaches”, and downplaying covid deaths, Trump is never honest with the American people about this if he thinks it makes him look bad. Because Trump is all about Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/strike-...

Police urged to investigate offshore fund linked to Andrew Documents reveal Inverness Asset Management, owned with the property tycoon David Rowland, was designed to lure super-rich met by the prince as UK trade envoy

Trump's carelessness is unraveling the global cabal of the wealthy who hide, living lives above the law. Trump will bring them all down.

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I used to volunteer helping people with citizenship applications. @cuny Millions naturalized decades ago on paper, before digital records. Retrieving proof now can mean years of searching and thousands in legal fees. Military families and immigrants will be caught in the middle.

Not only this — but donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself.

Everything is for sale. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/u...

No Democrat Should Give Trump a Blank Check for His Illegal War The case for opposing funding for Trump's War in Iran

While Democrats almost universally oppose Trump’s War in Iran, many of them are considering voting for a bill to fund the war.

This would be a catastrophic mistake.

Here’s why: messagebox.substack.com/p/no-democra...

Guys, this is Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social. You need to read it all. He's CONFIRMING what many of us already suspected about this war.

I can tell you Trump is 100% lying trying to make out like the US is wrapping it up.

Important information for people who are citizens, but do not have a US birth certificate. They may need to go get a citizen certificate.
