You'll notice that a key trick of Trump's immigration psyop is Miller's lie that Trump was only going after "criminals." I know why you didn't believe it. However, these people did, which is why they appear in court. And so did ICE, which is why Miller screamed at them to target Home Depots.

UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife) How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

THREAD 🧵 People often talk about antisemitism like it only affects Jews. But here’s the disturbing reality: right now, antisemitic conspiracy theories are being used to justify Trump’s latest brutal immigration crackdown. Let’s break it down.

This is really sick stuff. Miller knows Great Replacement is antisemitic. It's why a murderous bigot shot up the Tree of Life synagogue. He doesn't care who he hurts and he doesn't care how many.

Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents

I agree with this. The whistleblower letter written on behalf of Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ senior immigration lawyer, basically describes in extensive detail a contumacious if not criminal course of conduct by Emil Bove and other senior officials at DOJ.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

The Roberts Court, in one fell swoop, has: 1) Allowed states to defund Planned Parenthood even for non-abortion care so to... 2) Rip away people's right to choose their care provider under Medicaid while... 3) Advancing a neoconfederate understanding of our civil rights laws. This can't go on.
