In the past year, Trump has promised... -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies So far, no checks have materialized. thebulwark.com/p/trump-magica…

@sethjoyner Seth, the driving force behind the SAVE Act is the lie that Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election because of massive voter fraud. This simply isn't true. Some people see giving in to this particular Voter ID bill as lending credence to that lie.

I usually stay away from politics, but this is simply common sense! Can we as an American citizen go to another country and partake by voting, in said countries elections? You need an ID for everything in life! Am I missing something here??? By 5 votes?? I'd love for someone to explain why a congressman/woman would vote no?

BREAKING: The U.S. House has passed the SAVE America Act by a 218–213 vote, sending it to the U.S. Senate. The bill would require Voter ID and citizenship verification to cast a ballot in elections.

This shutdown literally has zero impact on ICE functionality. Country over party is refusing to hit the entire Department of Homeland Security. Democracy demands a way forward to reform ICE without damaging our critical national security agencies.

@SenFettermanPA Democracy demands checks and balances to prevent authoritarian impulses from running amok. Your "roll over and die" strategy is a complete abdication of your role as a U.S. senator. If you're too lazy to do the job, we'll find someone else who will in 2028.

@ConorLambPA John Fetterman makes Tommy Tuberville look smart. Please keep up the heat on him. We need a Senator who believes that there's more to the job than doing Fox News hits.

Guy who wants to look so tough is the least tough of all. Two people murdered, no accountability, and he believes he’s powerless. He believes Trump gets what Trump wants.
U.S. Senator John Fetterman@SenFettermanPA

Shutting DHS down has zero impact and zero changes for ICE. ICE already has $75B in funding from the BBB that I did not vote for. But it will hit FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA and our Cybersecurity Agency. As a Democrat, I can’t vote to shut down critical parts of our government.

@tripgabriel Great piece! I feel sorry for Fetterman. He's a shell and he has no idea how delusional - and laughable - his presidential aspirations truly are. I can't wait until I can vote him out in the '28 primary.

Sen. John Fetterman, who has said he won't host a town hall because he prefers to be "in room full of love," won't be reading the reader comments on this article nytimes.com/2026/02/12/us/…

@BillKristol The big question is whether the Homan faction that doesn't necessarily believe in flood-the-zone tactics in blue cities is going to retain the upper hand over Noem/Miller. I'd like to think it's not inevitable that there's a next city.

A tactical withdrawal by the Trump administration from Minneapolis--which is a well-deserved victory for the people of Minneapolis. But no backing down on "the promise of mass deportation." Which means the fight continues, and there will be more Minneapolises across the nation.
The Bulwark@BulwarkOnline

Tom Homan: “I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude…We will continue to enforce Title A immigration law throughout this nation…Those who say we are backing down from immigration enforcement or the promise of mass deportations, you are simply wrong.”

@atrupar I especially like the use of "because" and "immediately." It's that specificity that makes next-level crazy talk like this so special.

Trump: "By knocking out those boats, we have dropped drugs, fentanyl, about 33%. Now we're gonna start on land. We had to do the boats first because they would go immediately to the boats. If you hit them on land, they go to the boats. Now we're gonna him them on land. We're gonna hit them very hard on land."

@BulwarkOnline I love that his lying has become so ingrained that he's unaware that in the next breath, in order to set up his own "I was never there" line, he admits he was in fact aware of it.

Q: “Were you aware that the Secretary of Commerce visited Epstein's Island?” Trump: “No, I wasn't aware of it…He was there with his wife and children…I wasn't, I was never there. Somebody will someday say that. I was never there.”

@GuntherEagleman Dear moron, if you knew anything at all, you'd know that Fetterman has publicly called on Trump to fire Noem right here on X. In other words, he fooled you.

@atrupar He actually bothered to show up for a hearing? That's news right there. Fetterman always wants it both ways. He says he treated her with respect. But he also called on Trump to fire her here on X.

@RepJackKimble I'm concerned Poe's Law might not go far enough. What we need is a national registry of satirists that can be referred to in close calls. This would also be helpful in answering the question that lingers in everyone's minds: Are there satirists living in my neighborhood?
