Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose

Medical experts say that if you contract pneumonia you should visit a doctor. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says you should just bathe in raw sewage instead. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Leavitt: "When he as commander in chief determines that Iran no longer poses a threat to the US and the goals of Operation Epic Fury have been fully realized, then Iran will essentially be in a place of unconditional surrender whether they say it themselves or not"

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

His picture is in the dictionary next to "feckless"

Asked how he plans to respond to the Justice Department's attempt to prosecute a Democratic congresswoman, Hakeem Jeffries repeats the same line twice: they'll respond "in a time, place, and manner of our choosing."

But which version? There are so many.

NEW: All Texas public elementary or secondary schools “must display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.” Bring on the lawsuits!! www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Fascists often start by perverting the law before they subvert it

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

I’ll be frank. I think the only thing this GOP is going to learn from Trump’s polling drops is that you can do fascism as long as you don’t mess with people’s shopping bills. They’ll look around and think Trumpism without tariffs works just fine.

Galileo Day would be much better. I'll even forgive the circular orbits nonsense.

We told the truth about who he is. It has nothing to do with any other Italian or person of Italian descent. He was a mass-murderer, thief, enslaver, torturer, and incompetent governor who was despised by his own men & fellow officers and died penniless after being imprisoned.

Rendition. Kidnapping. Human trafficking. Slave trade.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”. It’s about racism. It’s about state terror. It’s about dehumanization. Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.
