tom homan is what you get when you hose down a sentient ham and teach it to do crime

This scenario is exactly why I don't want my 80-yr old Mom to go to her community center if deportations start in Miami. At least not until I'm 100% sure ICE won't go to a place like that. She's naturalized but barely speaks English. All it would take is an agent having a bad day.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash.

Pam Bondi knew.

Kash Patel knew.

Emil Bove knew.

And they made the investigation go away.

A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC. The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January, according to six sources familiar with the matter. In recent weeks, Trump appointees officially closed the investigation, after FBI Director Kash Patel requested a status update on the case, two of the people said. It’s unclear what reasons FBI and Justice Department officials gave for shutting down the investigation. But a Trump Justice Department appointee called the case a “deep state” probe in early 2025 and no further investigative steps were taken, the sources say.

The machine needs breaking.

And it’s us that’s gotta do it

i really don't think many of them expected the first most common reaction to be "who?" distantly trailed by second most common "he was awful"

No literally this is the thing: the Right has completely captured the media apparatus in an era where that doesn't matter, no matter how much regime loyalist content they put out everyone fucking hates them

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The thing Democrats don't want to face is that Trump isn't their only problem, and they aren't defeating his regime without addressing at least some of the others. The United States has a lot of problems that desperately need solving, and we saw Biden, those problems don't go away with Trump 2/🧵

As The Far Right Rises, Don’t Be Ezra Klein You can be committed to dialogue without pretending the right are reasonable and while aggressively challenging their views.

The Onion’s Exclusive Interview With Gavin Newsom

This is not a hypothetical! Anti-abortion folks have literal blood on their hands, blood covering their entire bodies at this point with the number of people their policies and ideology have killed directly.

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.

This moment is disturbing even in the mundane: I’ve started taking screenshots of historical sources I’m using in research from the national park service, the smithsonian, and the national archives, just in case they get taken down. It’s now a part of my process and takes time I have to plan for.

Manufacturing is BACK, bay-bee!

Always looking for Sister Souljahs but it doesn’t hit like it used to. Can’t just execute someone with the mind of a child or show contempt for Black people like Clinton. People who think this is an answer struggle to stand out. You think anyone on the right cares that Newsom hates homeless people?
