Essential point in this exchange with @willsommer.bsky.social: Trump-Miller have to target noncriminals for deportation because it's the only way to get the numbers they need to try for "full-scale ethnic change." Terror is central to this. Will is very good here: newrepublic.com/article/1968...

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

This is good, @padilla.senate.gov. But an opportunity was missed. Every D should be saying all over the shows that Trump has lost the public on deportations of noncriminals, that he admitted deportations hurt economy and that he's diverting resources from dangerous criminals. @kenmartin.bsky.social

What happened to Senator Padilla is an escalation of this administration’s intimidation tactics. Fire the civil service. Threaten to imprison judges. Handcuff senators who ask questions. Will any Republican speak up for our democracy?

A right-winger -- a registered Republican, a Trump voter, an evangelical anti-abortion activist -- assassinates a Democratic official. Republicans respond by blaming the left. Democrats respond by blaming ... no one.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers? I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

According to the latest WaPo/Schar School poll, Trump’s handling of deportations has 37% approval, 52% disapproval. And Quinnipiac has it at 40% approval, 56% disapproval. But @facethenation.bsky.social insists “public approval is so high on deportation.”

Be highly skeptical of online claims that the individual who attacked Democrats was one himself. A quick look at his online activity, his comments, the accounts he followed, suggests otherwise.

So to recap: This week, MAGA claimed June 7th somehow is the day before June 11th, the right-wing, Christian nationalist, anti-abortion, registered Republican, Trump voter who shot Democratic lawmakers is actually “far left,” and Trump’s tiny parade magically drew 250,000 people.
