tRump entire government filled with compromised Russian assets

I feel our national security has been deeply harmed by the tRump adminsitration. I posted for tomorrow how Ukraine started making big gains against Russia’s invasion once they and foreign countries stopped sharing the war intel with the US. Seems clear everything Ukraine was sharing with the US went right to Putin. tRump’s amistration has given military secrets and tech to enemy countries just for their personal profit. And the worst of the stuff they hide. Horrific and I wonder with the military purges if the US can actually recover in the next decade. Hugs

DHS is expanding its use of administrative subpoenas, which don’t come from judges.

By Mike Pearl Published February 15, 2026

Reddit, Meta, and Google voluntarily “complied with some of the requests” for identifying details of users critical of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent as part of a recent wave of administrative subpoenas the Department of Homeland Security has been distributing to Big Tech the past few months, according to an anonymously sourced New York Times report.

Those three companies, plus Discord, have received “hundreds” of such requests that have come from DHS recently. Meta, it should be noted, is the parent company of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.

Administrative subpoenas used for this purpose represent an escalation. This tool, which comes not from a judge but from DHS itself, was formerly reserved for situations like child abductions, according to the Times.

The users were targeted because their posts “criticized ICE or pointed to the locations of ICE agents,” the Times says.

A Google spokesperson replied to the Times with a statement, saying “When we receive a subpoena, our review process is designed to protect user privacy while meeting our legal obligations,” and “We inform users when their accounts have been subpoenaed, unless under legal order not to or in an exceptional circumstance. We review every legal demand and push back against those that are overbroad.”

Gizmodo requested comment from Meta, Discord, and Reddit. We will update if we hear back.

According to the Times, one or multiple of the relevant companies have stated that they notify users of these requests from DHS, and give them a 14-day window to “fight the subpoena in court” before complying.

Amazon has also been accused of at least some degree of participation with ICE’s ongoing mass deportation efforts. In October, Amazon-owned Ring announced a partnership with Flock that would loop the AI-powered network into the content coming from users’ doorbell cameras. According to a 404 Media investigation, that network feeds information to law enforcement agencies at the local and federal levels, allowing for reasonable concern that ICE has access to all that footage.

Protesters have launched an effort called “Resist and Unsubscribe” targeting ten tech companies they perceive as exceptionally supportive of ICE. That list includes Meta, Google, and Amazon, but not Reddit.

Protesters Are Trump’s Next Target

Arting (Or Not!) With Jenny Lawson

Posting especially because of the final photo, with which many of us can identify … 🤭

Unfinished business

Jenny Lawson (thebloggess) Feb 16, 2026

Hello, friend!

Okay, confession time.

Last week I recorded the audiobook for How To Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay and then I collapsed in a limp pile of exhaustion, which is embarrassing because why is “just talking” for two days so hard? Regardless, I spent several nights that I would have normally been drawing while watching 90-Day-Fiance (don’t judge me) instead just hiding under the covers and recovering from being human in public for too long. And that’s why this week’s doodle is unfinished:

But the good news is that because it’s unfinished you can print it out and color it or draw on it and then you can share your version in the comments if you want. EVERYONE WINS.

Here’s a fun tip: I sometimes use the recolor app to upload my drawings and color them:

(PS. I’m not getting paid to plug them. It’s just a free app I stumbled on.)

So anyway…this is just to remind you that it’s okay to not hit every deadline (or any deadline) because you are so much more than your output. And so am I.

Thank goodness.

Hugs,

PS. As tax for not having a finished drawing, please accept this picture of a very sleepy Dorothy Barker intentionally laying on my art so that I will pet her instead of drawing.

Everyone’s a critic.

It happened again…

The video played shows how ICE gang thugs narrated a scenario they hoped the courts would believe, but the videos show they rammed the woman, shot her in 2 seconds with no warnings or words, just rammed her car and then shot her five times. The video shows they lied about being boxed in as no one was in front of them. The wanted a legal kill because they were pissed at the people honking their horns at them, with the driver saying it is time to get aggressive. ICE are gang thugs with anger issues who think they have the right to do to people what ever they want. So another couple cases taken to court where they claimed domestic terrorists attacked ICE only to have them dismissed because of the ICE thugs and their bosses lies. But the victims are still stuck with hospital bills, lawyers bills, and car repairs that ICE thugs don’t have to pay for but the victims do. Hugs

GOP Official Snatches Thomas Massie’s Mic In the Midst of Comments at Kentucky Event

As much as they wish to deny it maga republicans cannot stand an independent Republican not sucking up to tRump so they yanked his mic before he could convince the audience of the truth / reality. Hugs

GOP Official Snatches Thomas Massie’s Mic In the Midst of Comments at Kentucky Event

Jennifer Bowers BahneyFeb 7th, 2026, 3:48 pm

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) had a microphone snatched right out of his hand Friday night as he spoke at the Oldham County, KY, Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner.

Massie was in the midst of saying, “If you are a congressman, you work not for the Speaker of the House, I work for you!” pointing to the audience, when event emcee and state House Speaker David Osborne (R) decided he’d heard enough.

Osborne grabbed the mic away as someone yelled, “Welcome to the snake pit, baby!”

Massie then walked off “in solidarity” with supporters who left the event because he’d been cut off, according to the Louisville Courier Journal.

Massie told the paper that he joined supporters for drinks at Ernesto’s Mexican Cuisine in La Grange.

“I said, ‘Well, if they’re going to walk out for me, I’ll walk out and meet with them,’” Massie said.

Oldham County Republican Party Chair Blaine Anderson said Massie’s mic was taken only because he had gone over his allotted time limit.

In a text message to the paper, Anderson said Massie and his primary opponent Ed Gallrein were given “explicit instructions that they had five minutes to speak.”

After Massie was given an extra minute “as a courtesy,” Anderson said Osborne took away the mic.

“This had nothing to do with what was being said by the Congressman,” Anderson wrote. “It was about speaking time expiring.”

Massie called Anderson a “great guy” and said he didn’t blame the chairman for the mic incident. “But he’s swimming upstream,” Massie added. “There’s some Massie Derangement Syndrome in Oldham County among the establishment.”

President Donald Trump threw his support behind Gallrein after a series of rogue moves Massie made against House Republicans. Massie has stood firm in his call for a full release of the Epstein files, condemned U.S. involvement in Iran, and denounced Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” that became law last summer.

Earlier Friday, Trump called Massie a “moron” while remarking at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.

“There’s something wrong with him,” Trump said of Massie who continues to challenge the president on the release of the Epstein files. “We call him Rand Paul Jr. They just vote no. They love voting no. They think it’s good politically.”

DHS is using administrative subpoenas to retaliate against dissenters

The power of te federal government to make people’s lives miserable. This is an important story on how the tRump faist goveernment is using all the levers of power to keep people from speaking up. Imagine the expense of needing to get a lawyer to fight the US government. Hugs

Body Cams Won’t Protect Us

Notice that she mentions that Schumer caved on the one demand the democrats were fighting for during the government shutdown, while the public supported us. He got a promise for a worthless vote in the senate but not the House. A vote he knew would fail. Why cave, because the filibuster was on the line and both parties are desperate to keep that to prevent the status quo of supporting the donor class from changing. She is talking about body cam footage which the democrats are demanding, but 90+% of the time they were not used against the officer but the victim. The officers who killed Pretti had body cams but that footage has not been released. Hugs
