If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

⚡️US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters. The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communications.

🇺🇦❗️ Zelenskyy will hold a major press conference on February 23

Mapquest still GOATing.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

It’s a reality TV clown show.

Seriously?

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

❗️63% of Ukrainians approve of Zelensky's activities, 74% consider him a patriot - Onukh IBIF research (Britain).

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Jeffries: Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most unpopular figures connected to the Trump Administration. Trump’s poll numbers are moving in the wrong direction, and it hasn’t even been a month. The real question is: What is the corrupt bargain that has been struck between Trump and Elon Musk?

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

I can’t wait to see these old, fat fuck Trumper’s around me locally….having to get up on a ladder in the June heat…and and roof their own houses…because the migrants are either gone, or too afraid to work and get caught. I’ll honk, wave, and say, “Damn! It sure is hot today, eh?!

Mark my words — Republicans are going to get absolutely DESTROYED in the 2026 House elections.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

Savage Trump own from Justin Trudeau after Canada beat the US in the Four Nations Face-Off final. Everything Trump Touches Dies. Bravo, Canada! 🇨🇦

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Canada wins…

This is really something

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:

Interesting tidbit from U.S. Rep. Jayapal’s town hall this week: “I’ve really wanted to get off Twitter, but my staff tells me I can’t because I have half a million followers and journalists still pay a lot of attention to this social media” “Join bluesky!” several audience members yelled.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Never forget.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

People keep bemoaning the lack of leaders in the liberal democratic world - and I echo them. But we overlook Zelenskyy, who is as admirable a symbol of courage, resolve, clarity and righteousness as you will find.
