When historians write about this time they will explore why no one stopped him: why no one in his govt or the GOP or the elites in finance that prop him back pretending they don't see the disintegration or not caring as long as they make $ did anything meaningful.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around today to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom that our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's really an indictment not just of the electorate but of our whole system of government. We're ruled by a mad king.

@elonmusk “Democracy itself has always been loud and raucous, but when its rules are followed, it eventually creates consensus. The modern debate does not. Instead, it inspires in some people the desire to forcibly silence the rest.”

Feminism is a lie. Don't waste your best years giving them to a corporation. Share this with your daughters.
The happiest women are married with children, the earlier the better.

The reality is there's mass amounts of cheating in our elections.
Just because there's an engineered lack of data, does not mean there isn't data to the contrary.
The new CBS/YouGov poll shows that 80% of Americans support Voter ID including 80% of black Americans & 77% of Hispanic Americans.
Yet why is it that Congress seems so intractable to wanting to pass a such a popular policy?
English
Your daily reminder from Kevin Walling that every Democrat in the House voted for National Voter ID included in the Freedom to Vote Act. Not one Republican voted for it. The #SAVEActTaxesVoting it is a voter suppression bill to help rig the midterms for MAGA Republicans.
English
Chuck Schumer and other Democrats have insisted that they actually support Voter ID—they just object to other parts of the SAVE America Act.
Well, @SenJonHusted just asked unanimous consent to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the bill.
Democrats blocked it.

Every element of the SAVE America Act, including protecting women’s sports and safeguarding America’s children, is common sense. Will Democrats finally decide to stand up for fairness, science, and the safety of our kids?

.@SenMikeLee, THANK YOU for fighting for Americans. Thank you for taking all the slings and arrows on our behalf. Thank you for your deep conviction that America is worth fighting for.
@SenateGOP PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.

Often, when autocrats are doing badly at home, they become more imperialist. It’s impossible to think about the War with Iran without thinking about Trump’s hubris and Netanyahu’s desired expansionism.

@nypost Vance graduated from Yale Law. Trump graduated from Wharton. (UPENN), Hegseth went to Princeton Harvard Kennedy. This is a farce.

Trump’s clean energy war is actually hurting red states, says @USCleanPower board chair David Carroll.
"There's nearly half a million people that are directly employed by the clean energy industry," he tells our @kelseytam on Politico Energy podcast👇

@GShaneMorris it's actually more than a personality problem, it's a worldview: read this book: amazon.com/Autocracy-Inc-…
English
One of Trump's persistent personality problems is that he has no category for someone who disagrees with him in good faith, or to uphold a higher ideal. Every last person in his way is simply dismissed as evil, corrupt, or an idiot. Personal loyalty is the measure of all things.

Trump: "It's my opinion that the Court has been swayed by foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."

Since the video keeps crashing on the CEC3 website.
Here is the moment when an adult interrupts a student as she speaks about not wanting to lose her school.

🧵As a child was speaking about not losing her UWS school, an adult cut her off, unaware that the whole meeting could hear them. “They’re too dumb to know they’re in a bad school. If you train a Black person well enough, they’ll know to use the back." westsiderag.com/2026/02/20/rac…

One thing Pam Bondi has made clear throughout this hearing: her client is Donald Trump, not the American people.
