I do not understand how this man can wake up every morning and not immediately die of shame.

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS? JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

Foreshadowing is a narrative device in which a storyteller gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story.

“.. if, God forbid, there's a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten over the last 200 days,” he added. @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I genuinely cannot fathom seeing him say something like this and not immediately connect it to a clear and heavily signaled desire to kill democracy on the side of the GOP. But sure. Let's watch conservatives sane wash this into something that isn't clearly signaling authoritarian aspirations.

Trump to a faith group about Democrats: "We're against an evil group of people ... they took over the Oval Office. We can never let a thing like that happen again."

Hey so it turns out Conservatives might actually denaturalized Zohran Mamdani and it wasn't them just being racist for the sake of racism. Also they are setting up language to make trans people illegal and deport them.

Michael Clemens@mclem.org

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

The funniest thing is that he's clarified on this multiple times, but that just keeps getting ignored because establishment Dems would rather attack a progressive than fight to prevent the death of democracy.

Hakeem Jeffries on Mamdani: "'Globalizing the intifada' by way of example is not an acceptable phrasing. He's gonna have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward."

1. In a new leaked memo, Pam Bondi is directing the DOJ to go after trans care providers under "anti-FGM" laws. She also has directed the investigation of HRT manufacturers. She calls transgender people "infectious." The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

erininthemorning.com“Infected an Entire Generation”: AG Bondi Targets Trans-Affirming Health Care in Leaked MemoThe memo isn’t law, but it is the latest escalation in Trumpian efforts to wage war on trans people.

I try to avoid making Nazi comparisons when talking about Trump's administration, but what else can you compare this to? Trump wants to send "homegrown criminals" to a slave labor camp which no one leaves alive. They want to have an American Auschwitz for dissenters to the regime.

REPORTER: You mentioned you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens but aren't criminal to El Salvador. Does that include US citizens? TRUMP: If they are criminals and hit people with baseball bats, if they rape 87 year old women, yeah. Yeah. That includes them. I'm all for it.

MAJOR Victory in Montana! Bill that would criminalize parents with felony child endangerment DIES in Montana after 15 Republicans cross party lines. The bill would have criminalized even parents of trans kids driving through the state. It died after nonbinary rep Howell delivered a strong speech.

And here we see the next logical step in the war against trans people. Trump declared GAC child abuse, so now states are abusing that definition to go after parents that allow their children to transition. They want to make trans people's existence into a crime.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

I find these types of "gotcha's" really funny because the focus on looks is so obviously fascistic, but the only clear statement being made is that the person hates minorities and dislikes it when people look slightly different or have, god for bid, hobbies.

Decorum is a cancer that has been killing the Democrats for over a decade. If you're getting consistently dunked on by a dog playing basketball, screaming "But dog's can't play basketball" isn't going to help. They don't want to be courageous. They just want donors.

You are up to date.
