"I don’t see what’s wrong with asking the followers of Islam to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s important for the public to know where non-Christians stand on every organization that has ever existed in a Muslim-majority country and every person with the name 'Mohammed.'" buff.ly/oFYteni

For those here who will inevitably criticize Judge Reyes for having believed the government at all: This is what "building a record" looks like. She is, I promise you, nobody's fool, and she has watched how other efforts to hold the government in contempt have gone.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

The sequel to Freedom Fries is somehow even dumber

The idea that 82% of pregnant women who got vaccinated against Covid had miscarriages doesn't pass the smell test. That would have been 4 out of 5 pregnancies.

So, it wasn't deranged antifa marxists?

The caller on Rand Paul’s virtual town hall is all of us.

They gave a wife beater with mental health issues a gun and told him to go round up some foreigners. And now a man is dead. Fuck ICE

Best Twitter riposte of the day.

I see a pretty strong difference between waving a flag at a no kings rally or a protest, vs being visibly, overtly draped in an american flag other times at least among my group, having a flag shirt or bumpersticker - outside of a protest context - would be seen as one stop off of wearing a red hat

YOU ASKED FOR THIS! Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For most of my adult life, very broadly speaking, it has usually been the case that partisans and people who don’t get in the weeds of policy want to see politics through the lens of a simple, cartoonish moral binary with a good side & an evil side. And *usually* it’s more complicated than that.

"And the rush by Trump officials and their cult-like followers to justify it? That’s American too. The lies, so blatant, so obvious. These people have learned that truth doesn’t matter anymore, so long as they can repeat the lies enough on enough friendly TV networks."

Things worth really hammering to any family and acquaintances whose reflexive attitude is “but we gotta enforce the law”: (1) Lots of the folks being targeted came here legally; the administration has retroactively declared them “illegal” despite having done nothing wrong

New, from me: Defenders of police abuses will sometimes talk about “bad apples” spoiling the barrel. This is the wrong metaphor for ICE and CBP. The barrel itself is rotten. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

New in PN: The dehumanization machine speeds up "Months after the nation and world were appalled by George Floyd’s murder, it became an event with two different truths. With the killing of Good, the right has not even deigned to admit the heinousness of the event before deciding she had it coming."

Fuck this administration. Fuck their supporters. And fuck anyone who buys into their bullshit.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

The MAGA base has long been ok with othering groups because, for the most part, they're insulated from that othering. But I know some MAGA personally where this will hit home. Whether or not they turn a blind eye to it or dismiss it as "just words," we'll see.

“The juvenile actions and accusatory language spouting from every orifice of government may be among the most superficial features of our current crisis, but it is symptomatic of a larger disrespect for professionalism and professional competence.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-war-on-p...

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

"Shutdown hoax"

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
