The attorney general’s congressional hearing was so bad, Fox didn’t even cover it. It’s an old, old Murdochian ploy: When there’s news that doesn’t suit the agenda, just ignore it.

And it may not even have been the worst thing she did this week! trib.al/RgoO9lU

Today, Republicans in Congress tried to shovel billions to ICE without any restraints whatsoever AGAIN.

Their bill doesn’t even make ICE follow the same rules that as local police officers.

I voted NO.

Walz says he made no concessions to the Trump regime: "Nothing has changed. The final agreement is that Minnesota will continue to do what we do, which is law enforcement."

Democrats, do not be fooled. If you cave and approve DHS funding, they’ll be back and worse than last time. Republicans keep showing you their hand, stop shaking it.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Number of times GDP has grown 15% in Trump’s lifetime:

Zero.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social
TRUMP: We can grow at 15 percent. I think more than that!

KUDLOW: Well, 15 is a big number sir

TRUMP: But Larry, you can do it. We used to grow at 15 percent because we had spirit. Today we have a lot of communism

Ossoff: We would be naive not to expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time. The best insurance against dirty tricks is landslide margins of victory.

Crockett: "All this administration cares about is protecting the powerful and protecting pedophiles. They will do anything to distract from that, including deciding to put up in the middle of Black History Month the most racist thing that we've ever seen come out of a White House."

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

This week, a brave New Mexican who voted for Trump three times went on C-SPAN to talk about the lies, racism, and corruption that he and his Admin are creating. 

The tides are turning. We all feel it. America—it’s time to reclaim our country.

The United States and Israeli regimes were booed by the rest of the world at the Winter Olympics this week.

The lesson is, you can buy up all the media platforms to push your propaganda and favored narratives…

…but the world will still see you for who you truly are.

It is going to be lawyers and the courts. That is what it was in 2020. It was in 2022 after the first wave. It will be again in 2026.
It's not even a question that Trump is attempting to rig the midterms - he's pretty openly trying - the question is how strong the mechanisms are to stop him.
