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.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)

Robert Reich:
"It's no longer Democrat versus Republican or left versus right.
It's now democracy versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
It's no longer a war on undocumented immigrants. It's now a war on Americans.
It's no longer a foreign enemy. It's now the "enemy within."

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

The Trump-Vance Administration getting rid of biodefense personnel is, to state the blindingly obvious, a very bad choice.

Trump’s “peace deal” in the Middle East is already unraveling because it was never about peace, it was about praise. Another photo op, another self-congratulatory headline. Did he really care about a peace deal or just glorifying himself and grandstanding?

Is this what “Free Palestine” is about?
Public executions, as badly beaten men are forced to kneel and shot from behind.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.
