Instead of spending $1.8 BILLION for Trump’s vanity projects (ballroom, Reflecting Pool, etc.), we could instead pay for: 600 million school lunches. 12 million Americans’ electric bills. 27,000 school teachers or firefighters. A year of free healthcare for 88,000 veterans.

Joe Biden was too old to be president. Trump is the same age as Biden was when he was president. And it’s obvious that Trump is less mentally healthy than Biden was. So when will the media report that the president’s brain is broken? If the answer is “never,” that means the media are broken too.

My investigators have confirmed the Trump administration is hiding interview documents it conducted with some of Epstein’s banks, and there could be more. There’s no limit to how far Scott Bessent, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche will go to continue this cover up.

3.5 million immigrants are projected to lose legal status by the end of 2028. That’s $79 billion in lost economic contributions and more than a million U.S. citizen kids who will be living with someone who has lost status. Republicans don’t give a damn about legal immigration.

When we retake the majority, Oversight Democrats will be laser focused on our four main priorities: Trump family corruption, corporate corruption, abuses by DHS and ICE, and justice for the Epstein survivors. We will get to the truth.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Eels' slipperiness is the basis for the some of our oldest eel metaphors. In the 5th C. BCE, the Greek poet Simonides wrote that a slippery character -- say, like, a politician who is running for office to avoid prison -- is “like an eel down in the slime." And that's bad. 🗃️🧪

Meme. Colored medieval drawing of Simonides. You can tell it's him because his name is written above his head. Otherwise you might not know, because he is dressed very much like a medieval merchant. He is wearing a big maroon hat with a green band, and an orange cloak over a stylish black and yellow shirt. His yellow hair is long and flowing, and he is holding a book in his lap in his right hand. His face is lined with care or worry, and he is looking somewhere off to your left. He is not paying attention to you at all, really.

His thumb is holding his place in the middle of his book, and he looks like he's been interrupted in the middle of reading by some semi-distant disturbance. As if, somewhere off to your left, there is a bear trying to get onto a bus. The bear is apologetically looking for change to pay the fare, but everyone else is freaking out. Simonides is considering this scene, and writing a poem about it in his head.

Meme text reads:
"My best poetry
is eeligiac poetry"

ICE has notified me that another person has died in their custody. This is the 58th death under ICE’s watch since Trump returned to office. That’s 58 too many. We need to dismantle ICE, eliminate private, for-profit detention centers, and reform our broken immigration system.
