I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Iโ€™ve been released from IDF custody with a โ€œwarning,โ€ apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasnโ€™t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it werenโ€™t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Who the f--k are we kidding here with the fake MAGA outrage? There are tons of examples of mid-level government bureaucrats coming under intense pressure to enage in sordid corruption and potential crimes. Here's a partial list of examples: newrepublic.com/article/2168...

JD - I've got 15 free minutes before my son's hockey practice ends, so let me see how many of Trump's enrichment schemes you didn't see that I can remind you of. 1/ First one is easy: Trump has executed over 30,000 stock trades, many on inside information, netting him millions.๏ฟผ

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

One would be good and the other would be bad because one cause is good and the other is bad. We are not in the realm of procedural justice concerns anymore, liberalism is not obligated to be neutral on the question of its own existence.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Iโ€™m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

This is the second poll I've seen with Gendebien up by 4 in a Trump +20 (!!) district. I had the privilege to meet Blake last month - he's the real deal. And his opponent is bonkers. But this is still margin of error. Throw some support his way!

That's the problem, Mike. It's not just that you've hired half the Third Reich to staff your Congressional office, and you have promoted neo-Nazi content online, it's that you're robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors.

Awful: Trump's Office of "Remigration" has just been exposed making sordid payments to authoritarian governments to take third-country deportees, leading to serious abuses. Dems tell me they will try to defund the agency if they win power. They should. 1/ New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2157...

@stuartpstevens.bsky.social I remember an exchange you and I had on Twitter in 11/20 - you exhorted your new Democrat pals to cheer up and I replied that we had expected to hand Trump a massive rebuke, only to find out that people actually *liked him*. Weโ€™ve been depressed since, and 2024 was worse!

โ€œIf you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, โ€˜Thatโ€™s who did it.โ€™โ€ crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system โ€” despite their still being under government control โ€” that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
