This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

I’m just glad the US military is finally focused on the real threats - Minnesota and Denmark.

Just another reason why the President of the United States must not be “involved” in decisions about approving megamergers.
It’s simple: Any review needs to be based on the law and facts — not Donald Trump’s political opinions and personal investments.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened
Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

They’re trying to deport witnesses to a murder by ICE guards
The Trump administration is seeking to deport two men who provided accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp that differed from the Department of Homeland Security’s description of the incident.

Trump, under the guise of patriotism, will attempt to tell private broadcasters and sports teams when they can play games.

Though the Department of Justice has only divulged 1 percent of the trove of Epstein files documents in their possession, “inevitable glitches” and the need to make extensive redactions means there’s no timeline for a full release
Epstein Files Release Delayed By Redactions, Department of Justice Says
One month after the mandated deadline to publish the Justice Department's files on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, less than 1 percent of the documents have been released.

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.
