Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

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.

DOGE fired around 280,253 low-level federal employees making, at best, less than $35k a year, only to have the Republican budget bill mandate hiring 100k ICE agents costing $800k each with bonuses, tactical gear, and other infrastructure.

Money a Plenty for Rubber Bullets  , but none for Medicaid.

He’s killed 100’s of thousands. The Republicans kept supporting and funding Israel’s genocide campaign. To be fair so did Biden.

🪖🤳🏿Explains why we don't see ICE targeting white-skinned immigrants. Amazing how easy it is to sell fascism to white-skinned citizens here & abroad.

Meanwhile, here are two child rapists with close ties to the guy who happens to be a rapist of women fighting to hide his involvement with kids.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Did you hear that the much trumpeted mission to house 30,000 immigrants at Guantanamo Bay has completely failed and ended? Nah...they don't want you to know they burned over $16M for 290 people. But they got the pictures! Really. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

They are all lying but they got the pictures and that's what matters

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.
