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.

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

It appears that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino a couple of days ago shared on his social media a video that was created by a QAnon figure, who has called the video "Digital Soldier ACTIVATED."

Video posted by Dan Scavino on his Facebook page on 10/12/25.

QAnon figure Enoch earlier on 10/12/25 on Twitter/X posting the same video Scavino did later, along with posting at Trump: "Dan Scavino has been ACTIVATED!!!"

QAnon figure Enoch on 10/12/25 after Scavino posted the video: "DAN SCAVINO JUST POSTED HIS DIGITAL SOLDIER ACTIVATED ANIMATION I MADE TO HIS INSTAGRAM STORY!!! (Can someone please go screen record it for me?)"

QAnon figure Enoch on 10/13/25: "Scavino posts 'Digital Soldier ACTIVATED' video to his Instagram, and Facebook. (bonus awesome because I made it)"

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.
