I’m willing to bet that Kyle Rittenhouse is currently behind a mask, cosplaying as ICE and throwing people into the back of an unmarked van

Kind of wild how Republicans being in every way worse than Democrats has caused many of us to create a literal double standard where they ignore evil by Republicans, from whom they expect it, but not from Democrats, who are expected to be better, and then decide they're the same so why bother voting

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

REMINDER: Netanyahu convinced Trump in 2018 to withdraw US from Iran nuclear deal that Obama and allies had negotiated. That Deal would've prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All the death and destruction we are seeing now is bc of Trump and Netanyahu www.timesofisrael.com/in-recording...

Like the on-again off-again chaos surrounding Trump's tariff policies, his deportation strategies are in chaos Apparently Trump forgot to ask Stephen Miller if it was ok to pause raids in fields, restaurants & hotels So Miller demanded such raids continue www.thedailybeast.com/dhs-flip-flo...

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely political reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

I think they've lost Murkowski on the Big Ugly. I think Collins can't vote for it unless she's already resigned to leaving the Senate (Medicaid cuts would devastate the Maine rural hospital system that keeps the entire state outside on the Portland metro area afloat).

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Their whole movement lies constantly, even about easily verifiable things. They pay no price for lying, so they do it regularly.

Definitely getting the ol' "greeted as liberators" treatment thus far. More seriously, it's straightforwardly authoritarian to say that you want to remove the democratically-elected governor and mayor because you don't like them and their supporters.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Since the end of Roe, there have been at least three different criminal cases (that we know about) involving mothers helping their daughters. That should tell you a lot about who Republicans are going after. Also: this is happening in a 'pro-choice' state www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

This has a lot of explanatory power. It's not completely true. Trump is too self-absorbed to be entirely controlled. But he's always listening to one favorite more than others, like a medieval king. Whoever has his ear is the dominant policy voice, which is Miller right now.

If you work at ICE there’s a 100% chance you’ll be the star or villain of a future truth and reconciliation commission. Choose wisely. It won't be forgotten.

EXACTLY why ICE agents must wear identification indicating their agencies and names. For accountability! They didn't call an ambulance? Or file an accident report? How will victims get their car fixed? Now, they ran away to invent a story in private?

38%. Underwater on his signature issue by 11. Underwater on everything else between 16 and 23. If the Marines use live ammo, or a hurricane hits a populated coastal area and FEMA isn't around to help, it'll push him into cult-support-only territory.
