NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

UPDATE: Nearly 100 migrants, recently deported by the United States to Panama where they had been locked in a hotel, were loaded onto buses Tuesday night and moved to a detention camp on the outskirts of the jungle, several of the migrants said. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/w...

He needs a throne too!!

Millions of dead people are not on social security. That is a lie. But they won’t stop telling it.

He's usurping the power of the very Supreme Court and MAGA legislators that made him. They'll either scramble to unmake their monster, or cower like the craven traitors they are.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

It's because it was always a lie. We told you it was a lie. We told you the only way to make their quotas was scooping up anybody they can get their hands on. Anyone they get a tip from. Isn't it odd how in your town one Mexican restaurant is targeted but not another one? They only want numbers.

It’s not a coincidence, but after the FAA fined Elon Musk, after his rocket, blew up, causing multiple airlines in flight to have to reroute, and employ various emergency measures, so he forces the head of FAA out! Now after US USAID was investigating Starlink, he shuts them down.

Never. Forget. Never. Forgive. ✨

I'm holding a citizen meeting in West Hartford to talk about what I'm doing and what people can do to fight back against Trump's seizure of government for the billionaire class. 1/ Unfortunately, we've maxed out the space, so here's a 🧵 on what you can do.

The reason there are a lot of court orders telling Trump he can't do things is because he's been doing a crazy huge amount of illegal shit in his first three weeks in office. This isn't rocket science. It's basic physics - action and reaction.

I am just going to leave this here. #TheAlliedForces

MAGA GOT REAL FUCKING QUIET ON INFLATION.... DIDN'T THEY!

BREAKING - Democrats CRUSHING special elections Iowa state Senate - Democrat FLIPPED a Trump+21 seat by 4% Minnesota state Senate - Democrat outperformed by +20 points Westchester County NY Executive - Dem outperform +2 The anti-Trump anti-Musk backlash is RISING UP

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

How is started - Where it’s going!!

Breaking!🔥🔥 Canada renames the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Tim Hortons!!

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

This says it all

This is from October 2024 and needs to be re-shared widely given the coup being orchestrated by the #Muskrat. Russians promised to conquer America from within. Remember?

Cuts are fine...just not for MY state. The hypocrisy amazes. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Incel Astroids!!

The CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, is warning of layoffs due to Trump’s policies. Assembly plants likely to be hit: OHIO/MICHIGAN/KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE “President Trump has talked a lot about making our U.S. auto industry stronger… So far what we’re seeing is a lot of cost and a lot of chaos”

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

BREAKING NEWS: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker sets off alarm bells that prices of tomatoes are starting to skyrocket because of the potential Trump tariffs on Mexico. Every MAGA voter should see what they voted for:

Israel approved triple digit casualties, meaning 100+ civilian casualties were acceptable if they might kill one Hamas. They also killed of Israeli hostages during these indiscriminate attacks. That's why Biden stopped the 2000lb bombs that Trump restarted. www.972mag.com/tunnels-hama...

Donald Trump's decision to bar the Associated Press today from entering the Oval Office was the latest, and most significant attack on the free press since he took office. We need a strong independent media to take on Trump. I will never back down.

Tell Congress: Don't cut Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security

The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze. Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts. Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

This is The Message

Still no Jan 6 plaque on the wall on west front of Capitol. As was required by 2023 under federal law

Serious question, because this is where we’re headed… Who’s going to hold Donald Trump and Elon Musk accountable if he defies court rulings? Who’s going to stop him?

Tulsi Gabbard is a national security threat, and the Senate votes on her today. A vote to confirm her as Intelligence Director is a betrayal to our nation, and will put us all in danger. Call your Senator now and tell them Tulsi is too great a risk: 202-224-3121 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bInd...

Interesting, Ari Emanual and his firm Endeavor are in on this deal. They're the ones that withheld funding from down ballot democrats until and unless Biden dropped out of the race three months before the general election. I'm sure it's unrelated. www.wsj.com/tech/elon-mu...

Dems MUST hold daily press briefings just after WH briefings. Fact check, fight back, fill the news void. Press banned from WH briefings will show up -- I promise! (I know what I'm talking about, so lets do this!)

This energy.
