Trump finally accepts ownership of the current economy.

In an interview with NBC, Trump says the U.S. is experiencing the Trump economy.

"I'd say we're there now," he says. "I'm very proud of it."

Trump is polling at near-historic lows because of his handling of the economy.

BTW, what we need - badly - is for ther Democrats to demonstate the fighting spirit of @SenLouiseLucas. Or hell, even 30%? 40? 50% of Lucas' fighting spirit? bluevirginia.us/2026/02/bezo...

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.
How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives
Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

What Hess said:
“There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t. … Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”

Trump, the actual president, has insulted Dems repeatedly.

Just by looking at a cursory glance of the turnout by precinct, this doesn't look like a case of Democratic areas turning out more than Republican areas.

In fact, the opposite. Chasity Martinez won by winning over a bunch of Trump voters

trump creating the incentive and permission structure for democrats to do insane 2010-era gerrymandering of their own may turn out to be one of the biggest self-owns of all time. dems are now pretty likely to emerge with an advantage from the 2025-26 redistricting wars

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.

This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Ossoff: “This is the Epstein class... Trump is literally closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros...”

I would strongly encourage Democrats to continue with this rhetorical strategy.

It really subverts the entire worldview of the MAGA right.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.

We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.
