In the 1970s there was a Christian Nationalist org in Oregon called the Posse Comitatus whose members impersonated police officers. They menaced judges and other public officials who they thought had committed "treason" against the Constitution. A close associate became chair of the OR GOP in 1978.

History rhyming

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

The chances are so low that Donald Trump wrote this that we no longer have research scientists and statisticians able to calculate it

this is obviously something to take seriously but i am also struck by how the white house’s only move is to double down, no matter how unpopular or politically disastrous it might be

No way in hell did TRUMP write that. Somebody else, maybe Stephen Miller. Vocabulary, length, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, capitalization, thought cohesion, organization, none of it is Trump. He probably okayed it, though.

This is actually one of the more dangerous things going on.

Who in hell was that person signing at the Walz press conference?

“A woman who was wrongly accused of shoplifting toilet roll due to an apparent mix-up with a facial recognition system was left ‘fuming’ after being ejected from two Home Bargains stores.”

Trump's vanity parade cost us $45,000,000, which is about a million dollars for each person watching from the bleachers.

Thousands of protesters jammed the streets around Manhattan’s Bryant Park on Saturday afternoon in a massive march that spilled down Fifth Avenue.

Everyone in Governor Newsom’s Press Office deserves a huge raise

Imagine throwing a huge masturbatory birthday party that nobody came to. Meanwhile, millions of people across the world threw huge events devoted to how much of a piece of garbage you are. Oh wait.

Well at least if democracy here fails, we won’t have to live through another Superman remake.

From every video, LAPD escalated

It was really just a concept of a parade

This man literally quit the Dem party to run under a separate ballot line called “End Antisemitism” and he is the perfect clownshow end game of how both sides of the aisle have warped and twisted the definition of antisemitism to the point where the word is now just a meaningless tagline to exploit.

News: The Washington Post has suffered a cyber intrusion that compromised the emails of at least several reporters at the paper, including those on the national security and economic policy teams, according to people familiar with the matter.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Every so often I remember that Mike Lee is a direct descendant of early Mormon John D. Lee, who was convicted and executed for leading the Mountain Meadows Massacre, after he initially tried to blame the murders on Native Americans en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountai...

This is how LAPD treats our elders. Never forget.

I think a good rule of thumb is if your preferred source of news referred to yesterday's protest as "tens of thousands" and not "millions", you need to find a different news source.

Correct. This was an easy test for media outlets and many of them failed horribly. No need to give them yet another chance.

Given the fact that Republicans are actively pushing the insane lie that the deaths are on *Democrats’ hands* it really is important that political leaders and the press make this case clearly.

I was in front of the federal building when this happened and while I admittedly wasn’t at the front of the line closest to the cops, I didn’t hear a dispersal order. We just saw people starting to run towards us followed by cops on horses and cops shooting munitions of some kind.

Schrödinger's parade - the crowd was both sparse and dense.

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

mike lee’s brain fell out his ass

i would like some political reporter - any political reporter - to get one of the following reps on the record about mike lee and bernie moreno's comments: - brad finstad - tom emmer - michelle fischbach - pete stauber both finstad and emmer served with her. ask them what they think of these lies.
