Far too many institutions are bending the knee to Trump and preemptively giving in to his demands. It’s encouraging to see these airports refuse to entertain this administration’s lawlessness. Kudos to them — hopefully their courage inspires others to follow suit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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.

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

🚨👀 {𝙖𝙅𝙎𝘿} A leaked Young Republicans leaders❛ Telegram chat brims with racism, antisemitism, and rape ❝jokes❞: slurs used 251+ times, Hitler praise, and threats. Figures span NY, KS, AZ, VT. Apologies/denials followed. The story is culture, not a one-off.
Politico obtained leaders❜ messages from multiple state Young Republicans; the chat was saturated with bigotry and violent ❝jokes.❞ Reported slur usage topped more than two hundred fifty instances, including Hitler-praising lines and Holocaust ❝jokes.❞ Some figures issued apologies while casting doubt on authenticity; affiliations spanned New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont. ❝Politico got a hold of a group chat of leaders of Young Republicans groups across the country — which was teeming with racism, antisemitism, rape jokes, and other filth.❞ Robert McCoy, ❝Leaked Young Republicans Chat Filled With Slurs and Praise for Hitler,❞ The New Republic, Tue. 14-Oct-2025 ❝Pejoratives … appeared more than 251 times combined in the Telegram chat, which contained Young Republican leaders from New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont.❞ Ibid ❝I love Hitler,❞ Giunta joked elsewhere… and said those who voted against his bid would be sent ❝to the gas chamber.❞ Ibid Giunta ❝apologized for the messages but told the publication he has ❛no way of verifying their accuracy.❜❞ Ibid Luke Mosiman… wrote, ❝RAPE HAYDEN.❞ Bobby Walker… called rape ❝epic❞ in a separate exchange; both later issued apologies with caveats about alleged alterations.

Wonderful
And
We will never forget the genocide in Gaza.

Two things can hold true at once.

The atrocity is seemingly over. But this war will go on and on and on. There can be no peace without justice.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

"The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else"

DoD sources tell Zeteo that staff there have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
