Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.

The leaked chats of GOP staffers should be unsurprising to anyone who's followed the online ecosystem of MAGA. They are very Groyper, very 'irony coded' and very dangerous. My latest deep dive into The Most Brain Rotted Presidency Ever is out here: youtu.be/np0ztYFxaHk

Dear Mike Johnson,
You're a good Christian, right? Doesn't the Bible have a few thoughts about being a lying liar? Maybe something like this?
"No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes." Psalm 101: 7

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

Meiselas: MAGA Mike Johnson was being questioned about the shutdown during this disastrous press conference he held. He literally says, “I don’t have any strategy." Then Rep. Lisa McClain jumps in, apparently realizing Mike Johnson had just blown it and she completely unravels on camera.

I assume that every single journalist reading this understands that the *first question* to ask the State Department tomorrow morning is how quickly it will provide a list of foreign nationals banned from the United States for statements made about Democrats or Americans perceived to be left-leaning

JD Vance openly defends young GOPers calling Black people monkeys and “the watermelon people,” writing "I love Hitler,” using white supremacist code for praising Hitler and threatening violence against political opponents. But why wouldn't he? This perfectly sums up MAGA.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.
