The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

Dear Dems, the people want you to run on abolishing ICE, not appeasing fascists.
INBOX: the Democratic National Committee is forced to delete a premature congratulatory message to former Rep. Tom Malinowski in the #NJ11 special election primary to succeed Gov. Mikie Sherrill this morning.

DSA member Analilia Mejia, running on abolishing ICE, took the lead late last night.

The racism and hate is front and centre and seems to be accelerating. We are watching the president robbing the Americans and his illegal nazi ice agents beating and killing and kidnapping people while his party is working to cover-up the presidents heinous criminal acts.
ICE official confirms authenticity of leaked video showing 50 people held in single cells with concrete floors at Baltimore federal holding facility.
An ICE official confirms this leaked video from inside ICE detention is "100% real."

Megyn Kelly says Kaitlin Collins needs to smile more - just like trump says.

Funny thing, an article on HuffPo reminds readers that Kelly accused Roger Ailes of sexual harassment and how she resented him telling her to smile more.

Periodically I think about how hard some of them worked to normalize every single step of this and how hard they're dancing now in hopes you forget it
Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Has America become fascist? The answer might surprise you.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.

Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

Only billionaires and legislators have the opportunities to "normalize" their crimes.
very weird “I am Spartacus” thing happening right now with the worst people on earth
February 5, 2026 at 10:06 PM
It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

The GOP wants to “DOGE” our state voter rolls. Their so-called “SAVE Act,” wld require ongoing voter purges using citizenship data from sources such as the DHS’s “SAVE”program & SSA.

It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

The new Thursday Countdown Podcast drops at midnight and contains a succinct message:

In destroying The Washington Post, Trump-fluffer Jeff Bezos has gone far enough. It's time for Democratic leaders to commit to using anti-trust laws to destroy Amazon, Prime, Blue Origin - and Bezos, financially

Fulton County officials asked a federal court to return 2020 election ballots that the FBI seized last week. The county is also requesting that the court unseal the affidavit the administration used to obtain approval for the search.

Something to consider while you eat your broccoli drumstick tortilla.
the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.
February 4, 2026 at 5:41 PM
The hallmark (the “brand”) of the Washington Post has been accountability journalism. Thus, today’s staff decimation is Bezos’s greatest gift to Trump, so much more valuable than the Melania movie, inauguration money, etc. This disaster began, for real, with the Harris endorsement he killed.
February 4, 2026 at 5:40 PM
so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.
