Note the “absence of a quorum”, no no Republican Senators bothered to attend. 🤔 Shame.

I’m not transcribing this hot mess.

It’s official. Kristi Noem is out as DHS boss.

Markwayne RickyBobby Mullen is in.

Repost and make sure you copy in @support.bsky.team
We need to get Marie Coleman back on here as a priority #auspol

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year's Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge. In honor of our Nation's 250th Birthday, and the fact that these "Correspondents" now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER! Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

“The Worst Part Was The Shame”: What Happened After Jack Was Lured Into A Gay Hate Crime Ambush Off Grindr Jack Jacobs shares his story of being targeted and attacked after using a gay dating app, and what it's like reporting these gay hate crimes.

I talked to one of the victims of the “Grindr attacks”, and delved into the “shame” and mistrust of the police that led to him not reporting the crime

Wilson ignores potent drivers of inflation:
Housing scarcity.
Global energy & food price shocks.
Labour shortages in key sectors.
Supply-chain bottlenecks.
Govt spending in areas that increase supply (infrastructure, housing, skills) is anti-inflationary; not fuel on the fire.

Keir Starmer warns Iran not to attack UK military in Middle East

www.itv.com/news/2026-02...

ICYMI — BILL CLINTON: "Mr. Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran, because that way he can stay in office."

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Trump administration welcomes Tommy Robinson to Washington — The Times and The Sunday Times The Trump administration has hosted Tommy Robinson, the British hard-right extremist, for a meeting at the State Department in Washington. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said he w...

The UK White Nationalist agitator and jailbird who goes by the name of Tommy Robinson has been welcomed with open arms by Trump’s State Department.

He’s never been elected, leads a tiny ragtag band of Nazis but Musk loves him.

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.

For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

UNBELIEVABLE! DOJ withheld Epstein files naming Trump in abuse allegations of a minor

This is why we sued

Former ICE attorney and academy instructor Ryan Schwank just resigned so he could testify about what’s happening inside ICE’s training academy.

He says the legally required program for new cadets is now “deficient, defective, and broken.”

It must be abolished.
