Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices.

Capitol Police called to investigate swastika in GOP congressional office

An American flag altered to include an image of a swastika was found in Rep. Dave Taylor’s office.

So Steve Scalise, did the people at the Boston Tea Party “hate America” too? Pretty sure they didn’t like kings much either.

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

this is unironic, tbc. they keep trying to brand this as a "Hate America" rally because it matters to them that people think we hate america. therefore it is very very important for us, strategically, to visually declare that we want to SAVE america

Now that Trump has delegated his preposterous politicking for a Nobel Peace Prize to sycophants, he can finally get around to declaring unilateral war on Venezuela, a war crime, as he murders Colombian civilians at sea, another war crime, and endorses collective punishment in Gaza, another war crime

I'd like to assure JD Vance that the worst things he's done in his life are definitely on the internet.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3h

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

“The new authority would allow the C.I.A. to carry out lethal operations in Venezuela… The agency would be able to take covert action against Mr. Maduro or his government either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation.”

Also a reminder these weren’t “Kids”! Some of these “Young Republicans,” which includes ages up to 40, were elected officials or government appointees.

Cool that a guy who called a political opponent a "dipshit" on Twitter is telling other people to "grow up" about Pro-Nazi stuff.
