Jack Posobiec is at Trump’s “Antifa roundtable” at the White House today. Last week we reported about Posobiec voting in a state he didn’t seem to live in.

To sustain his rage against "Antifa," Trump summons a team of proven fabulists and conspiracy theorists including the notorious inventor of the Pizzagate conspiracy.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Opinion | ICE May Not Be a Secret Police, but They Sure Look Like One Authoritarian creep reaches a new phase.

“Students of political theory sometimes define the state as the entity that exercises a monopoly on violence,” David Wallace-Wells writes. “Under Trump, the state seems to want to claim a monopoly on anonymity, too.”

Just to be absolutely clear:

The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.

And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

POLITICO "They killed Charlie Kirk — the least that we can do is go through a legal process and redistrict Indiana into a nine to zero map," Sen. Jim Banks, the Republican of Indiana, told POLITICO last month.

While opposition parties remain legal, Trump’s governance increasingly delegitimizes them and treats dissent as criminal. Functionally, this reflects fascism in practice—an illiberal regime seeking one-man rule, not mere populism .

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Beyond his post-Trump shooting tweet, Posobiec has been even more explicit that he sees this “spiritual” battle as one against democracy itself. In February, in speeches to the Conservative Political Action Conference, he pledged to “overthrow” democracy and support January 6 insurrectionists. “We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it,” he said in one speech. In another, he said, “after we burn that swamp to the ground, we will establish the new American republic on its ashes, and our first order of business will be righteous retribution for those who betrayed America.” At the far right National Conservatism conference in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, where now-vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance also spoke, Posobiec laid out a fascistic vision for defeating “un-humans.” (He was also promoting his new book of that title, which has been endorsed by Donald Trump, Jr. and disgraced former Trump national security advisor and stolen election conspiracy theorist Michael Flynn.) Posobiec praised Joseph McCarthy and Viktor Orbán; he called for “investigations to identify the neo-cultural Marxists in seats of power all across Washington.” According to a transcript of the NatCon speech posted by journalist Hamilton Nolan, Posobiec said, “We don’t negotiate with globalist neo-Marxists. We don’t negotiate with the political version of an auto-immune disease. In a word, ladies and gentlemen — taken from the title of my book — we don’t negotiate with un-humans. Because that’s the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity. Populist nationalists versus atheist Marxist globalists. Strength, beauty, and genius versus weakness, ugliness, and stupidity. Civilization versus barbarism. Crime and chaos versus law and order.”

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Absolutely made up.

Sure, but what about antisemitism at Harvard

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

a way to understand Bari Weiss’ ascendance is that capital absolutely does not want to “turn down the temperature” on culture war, au contraire they understand culture war to be their most successful media project and want more more more.

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Someone should do a FOIA request for the raw footage of the videos they took of that Chicago raid and then edited into a fascist ad for ICE.

Senators grilled Attorney General Pam Bondi over the $50,000 FBI agents reportedly gave White House border czar Tom Homan last year in a federal bribery investigation.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

“The right has systematically undermined the very idea of dispassionate expertise. Now, conservative Zionists are surprised that the resulting chaos has spun out of their control,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes.

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

The League of Women Voters of the U.S. & Illinois have issued this powerful statement. In our 100+ years of voting rights advocacy, there has never been a need to speak out against treating fellow citizens like enemies. Sadly, there is now. Stand with us: bit.ly/48jzFH8 @lwvus.bsky.social

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.
