When someone says their country executes pedophiles and you respond by claiming that they are calling for the execution of Donald Trump, you are revealing that you know Donald Trump is a pedophile.

Thank you for you attention to this matter.

The Fight For Slow And Boring Research—Asterisk As federal research funding shrinks, scientists are looking to other sources of support. Can they learn to sell their work without selling out?

Putting the practice of science at the whims of private billionaire funders ... what could go wrong?

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Turning Point Action sets sights on SRP board elections in 2026 | Arizona Capitol Times An often overlooked utility board election will get the Turning Point USA treatment in 2026.

Apparently TurningPoint USA, the right-wing dipshit group, is pouring money into utility-board elections in Arizona, purportedly to fight off the "green new deal" 🙄.

@charlesxhua.bsky.social, you on this?

Trump claimed he hadn't spoken to Jeffrey Epstein since 2004. But here is an email from 2018 wherein Epstein claims he was asked for 3 names to replace Steven Mnuchin. Everything Donald says is a lie.

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting."

Say what you want about Trump, but at least he's transparent with his corruption

The Wall Street Journal story on Noem and Lewandowski is just a bus running over them, backing up, running over them again, and on and on. A line of admin officials waiting to get their turn at the wheel.

Paywalled at WSJ, free at MSN (good biz model)

Here are some better headline ideas which would all be more accurate:

“Fossil fuel industry, EPA, declares science irrelevant to policy”

“Scientists unified about the dangers of policy change”

“EPA officially replaced by coal lobby”

“Administration sticks fingers in ears, dooming humanity”

Please journalists: scientific findings don’t get “revoked” by politicians. They can be challenged or contradicted by other scientists in the presence of new evidence, sure. That didn’t happen here. Every new piece of climate science since the endangerment finding supports the original thesis.

This. It would be really, really great if Democrats would start *consistently* calling out the way that the media is led around like f'ing children by the right-wing hate machine.

Don't just accept the frame. Call out the frame. Force viewers to confront the frame. It's so f'ing basic.

All those kids & nurses & mechanics & service workers that we are deporting? It costs us $133,333 a head.

Again: we are spending $133,333 per migrant worker that we deport.

Top Trump DOJ official demands lawmaker retract Epstein inquiry: 'Take down that post' Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche got into a public spat with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) Thursday night over an explosive claim regarding the Justice Department’s publication of files on Jeffrey Epstein...

Todd Blanche is very mad at Ro Khanna for daring to publish the friendly Epstein email from a 2016 GOP presidential candidate bragging about more votes than Jeb Bush, and asking the name be unredacted. Blanche insists Ro's post be taken down to "protect" a "victim."

The number of children in federal custody has climbed sharply since President Trump revived the practice of detaining immigrant families last year. Hundreds of children have since been held at a detention center in Dilley, Texas, where families describe poor conditions. trib.al/c0Wufj7

Elon is baaaaaaaaaack Baby. (Edit: He Never Really Left). In addition to getting back into the White House social circuit and pouring money into campaigns, Musk has been ceaselessly posting political recommendations on X.

Elon Musk, who formally distanced himself from the White House last year, hasn’t stopped trying to influence American politics.

AOC Amplifies FDR's Forgotten Warning Finally, a few top Democrats are explicitly arguing that working-class economic populism is needed to stave off authoritarianism and defend democracy.

In 2021, Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney & I begged Dems to heed FDR's long-forgotten warning about the link between economic hardship & authoritarianism.

5 years later, a few new-generation Dems including @aoc.bsky.social are amplifying that warning.

This is progress.

Truth Social Post @realDonaldTrump:

The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Jeffries: "Y'all saw the embarrassing display by the so-called attorney general the other day. Who would trust her or the weaponized DOJ to independently investigate wrongdoing by Trump administration officials or by ICE agents? That's a reasonable demand. It's also a hard line in the sand."
