This week’s episode is about the Trump administration’s targeting of Ilhan Omar - what they’re alleging, what might happen, and which leading Democrats are hanging her out to dry.

Send Stephen Miller to The Hague.

whenever i hear some variation on "but what if trump does X or Y or Z" i think of this ulysses s. grant remark to a subordinate during the wilderness campaign.

I don't think it should be controversial to say, "we will not provide financial or military assistance to a country where the Minister of National Security brags about popping people's dreams of 'food' and 'education' then sending them to a prison where they are starved."

the fact that there's a 🫑 emoji and an 🧅 emoji but no celery emoji shows as a society we still have a long way to go until cajun cooking is normalized in this country

Once again, the Founders anticipated the possibility of a tyrannical president. What they didn’t anticipate is a majority of the members of Congress choosing subservience—not that they’d all be good people, but most should have egos and ambition, enough to object if someone tried taking their power.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

A slave patrol argument if ever there was one. The free movement of racialized people does not make them intrinsically dangerous. That is a racist lie designed to promote terror & legitimize violence & plunder.

it’s very funny to believe that you’re headed to eternal paradise, most people are headed to eternal suffering, but while we’re very briefly on this mortal plane we need to be more racist

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum we can accept from a democratic nominee. We need tribunals, prison time and beyond.

Has cancel culture gone too far? Is wokeness run amok? These have been the defining concerns of a lot of nominally centrist media for the last few years. Next week there will be a Thomas Chatterton Williams essay on how, somehow, this is just the woke right responding to identity politics.

New for @talkingpointsmemo.com: My look at how a recently-retired top immigration official getting celebrity treatment at a conference of outright fascists, and admitting to a friendship with a Nazi like Martin Sellner, should be a giant giant giant scandal talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/greg-bo...

The word "hero" gets thrown around a lot. But it's clear the attack on the San Diego Islamic Center yesterday could have been SO much worse. 140 children were feet away from the attackers. Security guard Amin Abdullah engaged these cowards in a gunfight, and they ran away.

Bitch, I thought this was Shaun King (It’s John Travolta)

If the next Democratic president needs help, I will take leave of my job and temporarily move back to DC to help clean out and restore the U.S. military. This is so embarrassing to professional officers.

As my colleague David Rosnick puts it: the Roberts Court is just calling the balls and strikes. The problem is that they do it before the pitch is thrown.

The NYT literally rewrote Trump saying “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell” as: “Mr. Trump issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz”

Tucker Carlson has been an out-and-out white supremacist pushing neo-Nazi talking points for years. He has intentionally embarked upon a project of introducing fanatical, genocidal antisemites to the broader public. If you find yourself praising him you should hit yourself in the skull with a hammer

Cops have unlimited ability to ruin our lives and as soon as they get a little pushback they turn into the biggest babies in the world part 100,000

The best or the worst VFX you be the judge?

Doubly crazy because not only is Iran a war of choice—one that doesn't happen if the 2024 election goes the other way—but also the reason things got here is Trump chose to renege on the JCPOA in 2018. This isn't the inevitable march of history. It's the election and foreign policy of one guy.

other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life

Meanwhile Nick Shirley, the dipshit MAGA influencer who started this whole racist panic about fraud at Somali-run daycares, is saying “EXPOSE IT ALL” in response to a deeply antisemitic video about ”New Jersey’s Jewish Invasion”

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Tomorrow on The Rooster: A visit to Ohio State’s Right-Wing Free Speech Centers ends with a vicious assault from an … assistant professor?!?!

A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

If you see what ICE is doing to my city and you’re still protecting it, you are the enemy and we will not forgive or forget you.

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

these people get off on being deliberately stupid, they are irredeemable at this point.

it's really a sign of how dire things are that part of being a citizen is having to choose whether to watch amateur footage snuff films to determine how much the state is lying to you.

The (now locked) post on r/Army of the RN nurse murdered by ICE honoring a recently-deceased veteran has some... interesting comments for sure. "I’m devastated. Our country has betrayed us all" etc

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

After the first shots are fired, the man collapses on the ground. Agents back away. At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.

On the latest @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social, my cohost @adriandaub.bsky.social and I talked about the murder if Renee Good, and the gender politics animating both the right’s response to her death and the broader Trumpist project of domination.

I will vote for any candidate who promises to use the state to kick in republican doors and terrorize them in their homes. They’ve acted like they’ve been persecuted for decades and I think they should find out what it’s really like.

I love Philadelphia

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

All my fucking tax dollars go towards murdering innocent people abroad. Never enough money for free college. Or free school lunch. Or to fix the goddamned roads and the crumbling bridges. Always enough for murder. I am so livid.

Folks, it's with a heavy, heavy heart that I report...
