Ron Smith posts: “JD Vance: If you remember all of the migrants who came in from Haiti. You blink an eye and literally a third of your town is Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs 🤔🤔 Still spreading the same debunked lie.” Below is a video still showing JD Vance speaking during an interview, wearing a suit and red tie.

He’s still repeating that lie. Video link in replies.

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

Important new story from @jenafifield.bsky.social

Few people outside North Carolina have heard of Paul Newby, the chief justice of the state’s Supreme Court.

But Newby has had a huge impact on America and his state. He’s done this with the goal of delivering what he’s called “biblical justice, equal justice, for all.”

A multiple line chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Views of Donald Trump among U.S. adult citizens, and among white, Black, and Hispanic Americans." The chart has the sub-headline: "Do you have a favorable or an unfavorable opinion of the following people? [Donald Trump] (% with a very or somewhat favorable opinion minus the % with a very or somewhat unfavorable opinion)." The chart has the note: "Note: Responses of "don't know" are not shown."

CBS News Cuts ‘Evening News,’ ‘Mornings’ Streaming Shows in Newsroom-Wide Layoffs The newsroom downsizing comes as Paramount Skydance lays off 1,000 employees throughout the newly merged company

CBS News has reportedly disbanded its race and culture unit, which was formed in the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020

NBC News eliminated its editorial teams for NBC Asian America, NBC BLK, NBC Latino and NBC OUT earlier this month

Trump says he will release the Epstein client list if elected. The Democrat elites are shaking rn

Any updates on this

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

My brother wisely asks:

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

i guess whatever ends up happening i very much appreciate the way that so much of what comes out of this campaign offers a positive depiction of what politics can offer to a community instead of just grim attack stuff and fear

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

A brave young woman asks JD Vance: “When you talk about too many immigrants here, when did you guys decide that number? Why did you sell us a dream? You gave us the path and now tell us we don't belong here? Why do you have to be Christian to be American?”

Shame on @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and the rest of them for not decisively ending this racist, junior varsity nepo baby when he lost the primary

Let's play, "Who said it: Donald Trump, the Grand Wizard of the Klan, Pamela Geller, or Andrew Cuomo?"

Was just BRACING myself for bad news when I saw Rufus Wainwright trending but it turned out to be delightful.

Very relieved that Rufus Wainwright is trending for something nice and not something problematic and/or being dead. Yay!

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

Who does Andrew Cuomo think lives in NYC? Maybe he’s spent too much time upstate and in Westchester to remember

Cuomo is on Fox News saying that Mamdani is not a real Democrat for reasons that sound like Republicans saying people who have different cultural customs (in addition to their typical American ones) because they’re first gen immigrants are not real Americans

Hegseth bars bearded troops from Air Force event Petty Pete strikes again.

The Pentagon boss—who now insists on being called the “Secretary of War”—is refusing entry to servicemen with beards at an upcoming meeting at Camp Humphreys in South Korea, according to a report from Task and Purpose.

This statement by JD Vance is no different from the people who claimed it’s “totally reasonable and acceptable” for white folks to not want Black people in their neighborhoods

Or to enact covenants which exclude Jews and Italians

It’s blatant racism-coming from the very top of the US government

I’m not posting the JD Vance video, but I truly cannot fathom being the parent of Brown children and saying out loud, it’s okay to be racist. Just absolutely monstrous.
