Cardinal Robert McElroy, a Pope Leo ally who serves as archbishop of Washington, doesn’t mince words about what’s happening.

“We are witnessing a full-scale governmental assault designed to produce fear among millions.

“It's an instrument of terror.”
Trump’s Raids Terrorize Catholics — Pope Leo’s Top Cardinal Calls It an ‘Assault on Millions’
Seminarians are leaving the country, priests worry they could be next, and Pope Leo XIV insists the Church must stand with its most vulnerable faithful.

Don't take your policy out in public, it's unseemly. Your policy is not your message. The *outcome* of your policy is your message - the life it will deliver for people.

In other words, sell the brownie, not the recipe, like every effective marketer knows.

one of the things i think is that policies answer the question of “what will you do” but they don’t answer the question of “why should i vote for you” and i think there is a tendency in this broad conversation to equate the two

Obama taking the piss outta those who peddle hate, rather than taking the bait & piling onto the folks scapegoated. This is the long proven way to deal with the standard authoritarian narrative. Hoping when Spanberger wins, story will include this approach.

“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.
ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants
Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.

Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.
