Swastika” Flag In Office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) May Be An “optical illusion” and “easy to miss” The weird story about an aide to Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) having a flag in his Capitol Hill office with a swastika on it, has just gotten weirder. Multiple sources tell Fox – including those investigating the issue – the flag in question is an American flag – but with a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving. And here’s the strange part: the swastika is not obvious to the naked eye. But is more visible when captured on video or by a still photo. One source described this as an “optical illusion.” Another said the swastika was “easy to miss.” Fox has learned that dozens of Congressional offices received these American flags from an undetermined group who brought them around Capitol Hill early in the year. One office tells Fox that the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out. But the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera. It is not known what group brought the flags around. That is under investigation. The US Capitol Police are also conducting an inquiry. Fox is told that that the group brought the flags to multiple offices. At issues is if the group knew the swastika was embedded into the flag. It is also unclear if this was an effort to covertly deliver American flags to lawmakers with swastikas on them. Or, if this was an effort to deliberately embarrass offices by bringing them an American flag – which featured a swastika which wasn’t obvious to the naked eye.

lol, now they're saying the Nazi flag is an "optical illusion"

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Five takeaways from the New York City mayoral debate Zohran Mamdani dominated the evening, while Andrew Cuomo couldn’t induce any major mistakes.

Mamdani dominated the evening. Cuomo needed a moment that he didn’t get. Five takeaways from last night's NYC mayoral debate👇

I remember playing the first Bioshock years ago and thinking "well this is a bit over the top," no longer

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

They’re scared of protest, they’re scared of humor, they’re scared of ridicule. They’re just plain scared.

They’re not doing this because they’re strong. They’re doing it because they’re weak.

Republican justices appear poised to destroy what’s left of the Voting Rights Act The results will be "catastrophic."

The conservative justices of the Supreme Court are ready to wind the clock back to 1982, if not earlier.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

Good morning. An overnight court filings reveals discussions took place Wednesday over whether the Trump administration has violated a judge's order addressing the use of force in its Chicago immigration campaign.

"The government believes the TRO has not been violated at all."

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

a swastika? in a republicans office? of the republican party who all explicitely endorse fascism? no way this could have been predicted
