In the past 24 hours:

➡️ Politico revealed hundreds of antisemitic & bigoted messages b/n young Republican leaders;

➡️ A swastika was found in a Republican House office; and

➡️ Trump's Border Patrol posted a reel with an antisemitic slur.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 11h

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The congressman floats out the idea that someone planted this, which is definitely possible, but it also seems crazy to think someone took the risks to sneak into a Congressional office just to leave a relic in a staffer’s cubicle. We won’t hear from Capitol Police until fed funding is back on.

EXCLUSIVE: Capitol Police are investigating a swastika found in GOP Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

“The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms," Taylor said in a statement.

Also a reminder these weren’t “Kids”! Some of these “Young Republicans,” which includes ages up to 40, were elected officials or government appointees.

The electoral college.
The senate.
This.

All designed to create minority rule. A Republic in name only. A democracy in theory, not practice.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 8h

If the Supreme Court strikes down Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which has been interpreted to require the creation of majority-minority districts, Republicans could eliminate upward of a dozen Democratic-held districts across the South. Here's how.

The Supreme Court Case That Could Hand the House to Republicans

Democrats would be in danger of losing around a dozen majority-minority districts across the South if the court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

"The richest man in the world and the owner of the most influential social media site in US politics is a nazi who openly supports and amplifies other nazis" would, on its face, seem to be rather newsworthy!

Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Again, that is awful from Fox to show the strike that was called a ball without showing the first pitch of the game (two pitches before that one) that was a clear ball called a strike. Or the other 27+ missed calls this ump has had
