OPINION: "Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character." thehill.com/opinion/whit...

TODAY’S ACTION ITEM: Email info@enforce.com & report motherless dot com (online r@pe academy CNN reported on) & demand they take down the website!

A little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens is set to expire, and we’re worried some Democrats could join the GOP to reauthorize this civil liberties disaster.

Urge your Members of Congress to vote NO on any legislation that reauthorizes Section 702.

U.S. begins blockade in Strait of Hormuz; Trump warns Iran 'attack ships' to stay away The U.S. blockade would apply to "any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," President Donald Trump said.

I know a lot is going on what with Trump attacking the pope and thinking he’s Jesus and/or a doctor. But peace talks failed, and the US is now blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

Don’t make me cry on a Monday 🥹

The federal government has agreed that the Pride flag can fly at the Stonewall National Monument in Manhattan — reversing its decision to remove it and dealing a blow to the Trump admin's nationwide assault on diversity initiatives.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Can it really be considered an exclusive when I’ve been telling people this for months?

Asking for a friend.

Melania demands justice for Epstein victims. Sweetie, the call is coming from inside the White House.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Why is Trump so enthusiastic about destroying Iranian civilian infrastructure? It won’t win the war. It is likely for another reason: to provoke an Iranian response that Trump can use for his own purposes. (2/17)

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Tiger catching well-deserved strays. 😂

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

Just to recap:

Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops.

In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, especially to my amazing daughter. I love her so much and am so proud of the work she does making sure other trans youth feel seen. 🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏾♥️

Russia is assisting in an open shooting war against the United States.

Efforts by people to assist them now, including in our own government, would seem to qualify as treason under the "aid and comfort" passage.

He's so close to getting it

ICYMI: I didn't go to No Kings…

I was at a #NoKings rally yesterday and rather than writing another essay about why this matters I will just say that it is pure joy to meet the people who want to stand out and the people who are doing the work. Thank you.

Fox News hit piece on No Kings is all “500 organizations with 3B in funding who want to stop war!”

Trump ran on “no wars.”

They didn’t mention that part.

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy.
This is white Christian nationalism.

Appreciate you 🫶🏾

Excellent interview! I feel better after hearing her optimism and energy! ❤️

Same!
