To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Woman dragged from her car by ICE: I've spent the last month learning names of torn tendons in my shoulders. What I haven't learned are the names of the people who did this to me. This is an ongoing fear & threat for people around this country. And we have not seen accountability

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

FLASHBACK — Trump FBI director Kash Patel to Congress, under oath: “There’s no credible information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to others individuals.”🤔

It’s encouraging to see elite institutions take accountability seriously.🙄 “retire from professorship" Martin Nowak - paid administrative leave. Alan Dershowitz - no reported institutional action. Steven Pinker - no reported institutional action. George Church - no reported institutional action.

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons? Wait. He didn't.

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

A great communicator with extradimensional elves, apparently

NEWSNATION: Should there be a pro-psilocybin Surgeon General? SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I think that's a red herring. Let's focus on the fact that she's a great communicator.

VP Vance is falsely claiming the Trump Admin somehow has the “inherent” authority to just unilaterally withhold from MN mandatory federal #Medicaid funding to which the state is entitled.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo ago

Q: Can you talk about the legal authority under which the federal govt pauses legally obligated funds, such as Medicaid? JD VANCE: Congress appropriates the money. We're the ones who actually make sure it actually goes to the people it ought to go to

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

Dumbass. 1. Ayatollah Khomeini died in 1989. “The Ayatollah” is not a specific individual. 2. Iran’s nuclear program started in the 1950’s under the Shah, Reza Pahlavi WITH US SUPPORT. By 1974 the Shah announced the construction of over 20 nuclear power plants WITH US (and German+French) SUPPORT.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Mullin: We are not wanting regime change, but the person that's leading this effort is the ayatollah. Remember in 1979, when he came to power, he was saying that he wanted to be a nuclear Iran

All y'all going to jail

U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) says Minnesota is a red state if you don't count the Twin Cities metro area, where most Minnesotans live. "It literally is a red state except for a dot in the Twin Cities metro..." (H/t Aaron Rupar)

Riley Gains: "My husband is a legal immigrant.. I'd describe him as more American than a lot of Americans who are citizens... He respects ICE." BTC: "Who are you to say that somebody is more or less American because of their adherence to certain political issues? Isn't that inherently un-American?"

Yes, yes, the Trump administration, quite famous for being good stewards with the American people's tax money.

Homeland Security wants Social Media sites to expose Anti-ICE Accounts!!!! The Government is trampling on our CIVIL LIBERTIES!!!!! #ICE #Epstein #EpsteinFiles www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

More people need to read these emails. They show that Epstein, with the help of Norway’s former prime minister, tried to help Russia blackmail Trump. The emails:

The lack of self-respect you are exhibiting by just sitting there and taking this shit.

Trump points at Democrats and says, "these people are crazy. I'm telling you. They're crazy." (Note that Pete Hegseth and the rest of the cabinet are standing and cheering.)

It's interesting that USA is using bases in Europe to prepare to bomb Iran. MAGA were told these existed to protect "European freeloaders", yet they are being used to project American power. How will the USA do this in future when Europe isn't "freeloading" & no longer needs US bases?

Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal. Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets. This is part of dehumanization of immigrants playbook. Fear and hate is the point.

That was exhausting for all of us.

Trump, clutching the lectern and sounding raspy, is fighting for his life to get through this thing

Mike Johnson: "The sieg heils and goose-stepping were lacking."

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9mo ago

Mike Johnson: "It was a very shameful display. There was a couple of times a couple of house members that I probably could've ejected because of their behavior, but the president handled it so well ... They stood at the wrong times and they refused to stand when they should've."

$2,000 for us. Two thousand dollars. I want it back.

Buttigieg: "About $1k is what his tariffs cost the average American household last year. And maybe to him and his billionaire allies, the kinds of people who got most of his tax cuts, that's not a lot of money. But of course to most Americans, $1k is a lot of money. You can't be tricked about that."

Mike Johnson: "If we lost the midterms -- heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House -- it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect."

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

I couldn’t sit through Trump’s lies but I’m so happy I caught #RepAlGreen call Trump out! He never disappoints! 🙌🏾 #SOTUS2026 #SheShed #Pinks

No he didn’t. It’s quite amazing that nothing was ever said or done to Mark Greene or Boebert. They wore MAGA gear like the guy on the chamber and no sanctions either
