Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The Telegram group chat released Tue showed who is, 'worst of the worst'; Nazi glorification, calls for rape, gas chambers, mass executions, etc. JD Vance blames the media (🙄) but he's fine w/ the content. Today's GOP is total Nazi, through and through

Hanging on the wall in Ohio Republican Congressman Dave Taylors office.

His aide, Angelo Elia, was so used to having it there he forgot to take it down before hosting a Zoom.

We warned you, this is who they are.

The swatstika in Taylors office comes after reporting on a Young Republicans Telegram chat where they professed love for Hitler, discussed the pros & cons of building gas chambers vs converting existing showers & claimed rape is epic.

We warned you, this is who they are.
POLITICO graphic of word bubbles from the Young Republicans group chat. Headline: ‘I love Hitler': Leaked messages expose Young Republicans' racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape. Blurbs: Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber. Great. I love Hitler Also ... we are officially under consideration for a Trump endorsement. When do we bring that side out? you're giving nationals to much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest I'm ready to watch people burn now Are you going to do whatever it takes? I'd go to the zoo if I wanted to watch monkey play ball If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked fr fr When do we start bullying dude? Boom - they're dead. Kick the b---h And everyone that endorsed but then votes for us is going to the gas chamber. They love the watermelon people Y00000000 It was rape He also hates the Jews Stay in the closet f--t This girl is fully r-----d Texts and reactions from Young Republicans.

By rebranding genocidal rhetoric and violent misogyny as “edgy jokes,” JD Vance provides a permission structure for extremism. And he’s signaling to the next generation of Republican leaders that this language is not a career-ender but an acceptable way to signal loyalty to the MAGA base.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

A good way for Republicans to stop being called Nazis and authoritarians is to stop empowering an authoritarian president, undermining democratic norms at every opportunity, and making Holocaust jokes.

Watch this quick explainer on the Hatch Act and you’ll see just how far the regime has gone—propaganda in airports, partisan emails, and political orders from the top. It’s not “messaging,” it’s a full-blown assault on the law that keeps our government nonpartisan.

"They're just going to be very surprised by what the actual footage looks like in their own home districts." Rachel Maddow anticipates some cognitive dissonance for Republicans who are too caught up in party line smears to understand what the No Kings protests actually are.

Maybe THIS is what happened to the old Republican Party when it was just about policy differences not pro-fascist BS and pedophilia. The Young Republicans ate them all.

Every single day, Trump tells us we should hate each other. Every single day, he publicly calls someone stupid, ugly, incompetent, loser, or worse. He calls for people to lose their jobs, their livelihood. I just want a leader who wants more for us. All of us.

Medicaid enables us to live in a society where kids, seniors, people with disabilities, foster care kids, pregnant people, & people with TB, cancer or HIV/AIDS have healthcare. That benefits us ALL. Fight to protect Medicaid!
