| In Donald Trump's home district in Florida, Democratic candidate Emily Gregory flipped a long-held Republican state assembly seat. Trump insists he is 'winning' the war he launched against Iran even while sending thousands more US troops to the region. Iran demanded reparations for war damage by the U.S. and control of the Strait before considering any ceasefire agreement.

All four former US presidents deny Donald Trump's claims one them supported his attack on Iran. Trump absurdly claims 'nobody expected' Iran would retaliate. US allies declined to help Trump out of his predictable, self-inflicted mess in Iran. In depositions, self-entitled DOGE Bros struggle to explain what 'DEI' means and why they killed vital grants under the National Endowment for the Humanities. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'

The crucial 2026 midterm elections are underway in earnest with the first primaries in Texas, North Carolina, and Arkansas, with notable results in several high profile races at both state and federal levels, particular in Texas. Univ. of Michigan historian and Middle East expert, Prof. Juan Cole, discusses Trump's ill-advised War on Iran that is spreading throughout the Persian Gulf region; the history of how we got here; the administration's obvious lack of planning and clear objectives for the conflict; rising risks to the global economy; how the war could ultimately accelerate the transition to renewable energy; and much more.

| Corporate media is failing to cover Donald Trump's disastrous War on Iran as the generational calamity that it is. Iran's new Supreme Leader vowed to avenge the deaths of Iranians in Trump's war. The FBI reported an 'unverified' alert of potential Iranian drone strikes from off the coast of California, but Senate Republicans blocked Democrats' legislation to fund agencies in DHS like the Coast Guard while negotiations continue over funding ICE and CBP. Republicans also refused to fund CISA, the nation's cybersecurity watchdog, even as an Iranian-linked hacker group carried out an attack on a US company. Terrorism expert Robert Page warns Trump's war likely dispersed Iran's nuclear materials. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'

After a threat by the Trump FCC chair to rewrite Equal Time rules, the CBS Network (now owned by rightwing billionaires) immediately surrendered, barring 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert from broadcasting his interview with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D-TX). The interview, posted to Youtube, has now garnered millions more views than it would have otherwise. Journalist Art Levine discusses his deep dive documenting the rise in blatant, public antisemitism among the Republican Party and MAGA movement that is causing a slow-motion implosion, nutty new MAGA conspiracy theories, and much more.

Most Americans oppose Trump's war, including some MAGA leaders. Court rules Virginia's plan to counter Republicans' mid-decade gerrymandering may proceed.

Donald Trump has launched another foreign regime change war, illegal under both U.S. and international law, and his administration is offering up a shifting array of justifications for their new war of choice that experts say don't make sense. Trump ran for office while repeatedly claiming he was against new wars. He and his administration have failed to negotiate a new Iran nuclear deal to replace the agreement he tore up, and now he is choosing to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on more foreign interventionism.

Don't be fooled by the US Supreme Court striking down Donald Trump's chaotic, worldwide tariff taxes on imports to the US; it was backed by a far-right activist. Despite Trump's false claims, American consumers are paying 90 percent of the cost of Trump's illegal tariff taxes; the global trade deficit has actually increased. Trump's DJT stock has fallen to single digits. Utah Republicans lose another legal battle to stop fair voting maps.

OG bloggers HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and the notorious 'DRIFTGLASS' of the 'Professional Left Podcast' bring insight, context, history and hilarity as we delve into the bizarre and frequently lurid speech. In special state legislature elections in PA and ME, Democratic candidates outperformed 2024 election results by significant margins.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi embarrassed the nation (and herself) again during U.S. House testimony on the DOJ's unlawful cover-up of the Epstein Files.

| South Korea's former president was found guilty of an attempted coup in December of 2024. Former Prince Andrew, younger brother of King Charles III, was arrested on allegations he shared sensitive trade information with the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Other top government officials in Europe face swift accountability over information revealed in the Epstein Files. It's accountability everywhere but in the US, where the Justice Department is blatantly covering up for Donald Trump in violation of the law. New reporting finds that FBI documents detailing credible Epstein-related allegations against Trump have disappeared, and explores links to Trump's theft of classified documents. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'

|
| After a threat by the Trump FCC chair to rewrite Equal Time rules, the CBS Network (now owned by rightwing billionaires) immediately surrendered, barring 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert from broadcasting his interview with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D-TX). The interview, posted to Youtube, has now garnered millions more views than it would have otherwise. Journalist Art Levine discusses his deep dive documenting the rise in blatant, public antisemitism among the Republican Party and MAGA movement that is causing a slow-motion implosion, nutty new MAGA conspiracy theories, and much more.

| Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson died today at 84. Polls show Donald Trump sinking to new lows in public opinion. The critical 2026 midterm elections are now underway with early voting for primaries in AR, NC, and TX. Congressional Republicans' new voter suppression law, the 'SAVE America Act,' would make it much harder to vote and much easier to purge legal voters using a notoriously inaccurate database. Election integrity advocate JENNIFER COHN explains what's really in the bill, how the GOP is lying about it, how it erects insidious new barriers to voting, and much more.

| Original airdate 2-4-2026. The Trump Administration is leaving 2,000 ICE/CPB goons in Minneapolis, despite claims of a 'drawdown.' So many Trump Justice Department attorneys have resigned from the Minneapolis federal field office in opposition to the administration's immigration crackdown that is has caused severe staffing shortages. Investigative reporter JOSH KOVENSKY explains the administration's revival of the nutty 'ItalyGate' 2020 election conspiracy theory that Donald Trump says cost him the 2020 election. Kovensky also delves into disturbing DOJ memos that repurpose a post-9/11 federal terrorism statute to target peaceful protesters and perceived political opponents of Trump with 'domestic terrorism' charges.

HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and 'DRIFTGLASS' of the 'Pro Left Podcast' bring insight, context, history and hilarity as they delve into the Trump Administration's growing list of failures, the Epstein Files, the rising resistance and resilience of the American people, and much, much more.

|
| The Trump Administration's shifting excuses for shutting down El Paso's airspace don't add up. US Attorney General Pam Bondi embarrassed the nation (and herself) again during U.S. House testimony on the DOJ's unlawful cover-up of the Epstein Files. The corrupt Trump EPA is poised to demolish the legal foundation for all US climate regulations by overturning the landmark 'Endangerment Finding,' the scientific determination that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health by causing catastrophic climate change. DAN BECKER of the Center For Biological Diversity explains the history and context of the Endangerment Finding, what overturning it will mean for public health and climate action, and much more.

| Republicans love the 'culture wars' because it keeps their voters perpetually outraged. MAGA split over whether to hate Puerto Rican U.S. citizen Bad Bunny's spectacular Super Bowl Halftime show. CBS News' ratings plummet after rightwing takeover. DHS documents expose that less than 14 percent of detained immigrants have been charged or convicted of violent crime. Trump's 'Religious Liberty Commission' sued for religious discrimination. Trump threatened to halt a new border bridge with Canada for corrupt reasons. Unsealed affidavit in FBI seizure of Fulton County 2020 election records is based on long-debunked allegations. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'

| Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was a joyous celebration, but it made Donald Trump very upset. State special election in Louisiana shifted significantly to Democrats. Election security expert MARILYN MARKS explains growing alarm over the Trump FBI's unprecedented seizure of 2020 election records from Fulton Co., Georgia; real problems with the state's electronic voting systems that could be misused and weaponized in the 2026 elections; how voters can get involved locally; and much more.
