I won’t condemn Republicans who decide to turn away from Trump going forward, but let us be clear: Theirs would be no *ethical* repentance. Those with ethics would have turned long ago. Anyone now deciding to pull their toes out of the MAGA pool are doing so ONLY for self-preservation.

This is weird. 👀
All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.
Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

Y’all, if you want Susan Collins gone like we do, PLEASE share Graham's post with the video of her stating explicitly she would only serve 2 terms!!!
Thirty years ago Susan Collins pledged to retire after two terms.
Today she announced she’s running for a sixth term.
Her word, as always, meant nothing.

Picking today to try to shield another person in the Epstein files from prosecution is about as tone deaf as you can get

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech.
Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

On every important vote that matters, Susan Collins votes with Trump.
Every time her vote could stop something he’s trying to do, she votes with him.
She is a fake moderate with a MAGA voting record.
A vote for Susan Collins is a vote to give Trump more power.

Every country surely must understand by now that any agreement they have entered into with the US and any agreement they are currently negotiating is utterly worthless while Trump is president.

Somehow, in the attention to Howard Lutnick's lies about Epstein and his general toadying, attention has drifted away from his buying a house in DC for $25 million. In cash. From ... Brett Baier of Trump state media, aka Fox.

On a day tens of millions of Americans are more sure than ever before that the leader of our nation is a serial sexual predator who's either a pedophile or aiding and abetting pedophiles, the idea that his party is investigating Spanish lyrics they don't understand is a near-alien level of weirdness
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.
That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

These are not ICE offices. They are not even immigration detention centers.
We don’t have that many immigrants to detain.
The size of the facilities suggest DHS plans to detain citizens. There’s simply no other explanation and we should really start framing it that way.

No way will I attend the White House dinner with this President.
I’m standing with @govwesmoore.bsky.social and @colorado.gov — and standing against Trump’s corruption and hatred.
And I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to do the same.
