Lawmakers renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, which would block millions of Americans from voting. It failed before — and it must fail again. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor
Good to know
When will they ever learn?
Cartoon from Der Spiegel shows the world as seen by Trump.
Trump:
Senator John Fetterman (Pennsylvania)
Representative Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Representative Greg Landsman (Ohio)
Representative Jared Golden (Maine)
Representative Juan Vargas (California
It’s our army, not Trump’s.
Has everybody forgotten who Corey is? Canned in previous Trump administration for being gross. A very high bar. www.politico.com/news/2021/09...
So both war and bubbles are bad for the market. Talk about a fake either/or.
History teaches us that weapons are never precise.
What is Trump’s endgame in Cuba?
Pay for 3 shots.
Seems to be the pattern…
A photo of a large, dark tornado in a flat, dry, golden-yellow rural landscape with a dirt road leading toward it. The scene features ominous storm clouds, power lines on the left, and fences on both sides of the road. The main tornado was 0.8 miles wide. If you look closely, you'll see a second dark funnel to the left near the largest power line. This touched down moments later. Twins!
My kind of road. #Photography
Just glad congress isn't alive to see all of this
Great info from Sarah Kendzior. Take a few minutes to read it through.
NEW: The New York Times confirms my reporting that the DOJ is withholding several FBI interviews with a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her as a child

Will the media give child rape the gravitas they gave Hillary’s emails?
We seem to be nearing the heart of the story, and a lot will depend on the nerve of the journalists--NPR, the NYT, etc--to stay on this story relentlessly. Will they give it the same kind of coverage they gave Biden's age--i.e., full bore, around the clock, 50 opeds?

Paging Bezos, Zuckerman and the enabler at Apple. Any regrets?
Finally. Tall white men get away with so much. Who can forget Summers’ awful remarks about female intelligence? That was no biggie. Took Epstein to get Summers out of academia.
A harrowing glimpse of our future lies in a new report—based on government contracting data—documenting at least a fourfold increase for ICE and a doubling for CBP, relative to 2024, concluding that this will “build a heavily-armed domestic police force.” trib.al/wvbpky3
also, marijuana, big deal
USA Women ALSO won the hockey gold medal. They achieved same thing men did. Even the news stories treat them as tagalongs, not to mention the jerks on the male hockey team.
The liberal bias one could be written more clearly. It's a little John Kerry word salad-like, even though i'm sure there's a good idea under there.
In the video of Trump talking to the US men's hockey team, when he says "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that" as a joke about how annoying it is to have women around, the most painful part for me, are all the hockey players laughing. Actually laughing.
U.S. Olympic gold medal winning women’s hockey team to Trump on his SOTU invite: PUCK OFF!
The dirty secret to most rom-coms?
Two pigs. "Patel holds a phone out as President Donald Trump, apparently on speakerphone, invites the team to the White House and says he will also have to invite the gold-medal-winning U.S. women’s hockey team or “be impeached.”

I love the anger and cool insights of Indian feminists.This author isn’t fooled by the puppets who pass for women in Chetan Bhagat’s fiction. Somehow they always lose out. feminisminindia.com/2026/02/23/p...
