Stephen Miller names the “internal enemy. Trump threatens to starve their cities. And if they resist? Invoke the Insurrection Act. This is their blueprint for domestic authoritarian control, and it’s all in the open.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

“to distinguish real (ICE) operations from fakes”.

Hmmm, maybe ban masks, display badges, use warrants, and employ due process rather than abduct people into unmarked cars.

It’s easy for criminals to impersonate ICE since ICE act like criminals.

Sometimes called NatSec democrats, they can also be called Service Democrats, since they come from the military and other professions that asked them to take oaths, swearing to be of service to Americans. They will be an important force in the future

The Democrats’ Patriotic Vanguard A small group of lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds prefigured Harris’s overtly patriotic campaign.

Abby Spanberger will now be governor of Virginia, Mikie Sherrill governor of NJ. I wrote about both of them, and their friend group, last year

BREAKING: EXIT POLLS SHOW MASSIVE REPUDIATION OF TRUMP, AND MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF REGRET FROM FORMER TRUMP VOTERS…

ENJOY. 😎✨

The moderates and fascists are going to be terrified. They’re going to be desperate and, just like we saw with Cuomo, they’re going to increasingly side with one another.

That’s what history teaches us and it’s on us to be ready for the fight. And, if we are, we will win.

Tonight, Zohran Mandani walloped Trump, Cuomo, Sliwa, the oligarchs, MAGA and yes, even some establishment democrats.

He did it by listening to his constituents.

By promising to fight for them and their needs.

Not the ruling class who have broken and corrupted America.

That’s the lesson.

There are more of us than there are of them.

The Democrats need to look at WHY Mandami won.

Full stop.

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

Breaking News 🚨🔊

Mike Johnson still has no idea what’s going on.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a four-term member of Congress and former Navy helicopter pilot, has won New Jersey's governor’s race.

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.

“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

The thing about old Democrats hesitating to endorse Mamdani is they’d rather be out of step with young voters than corporate donors.

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

Trump has no idea what’s going on. He’s turned the WH into a gilded Assisted Living Facility with court jesters and a ballroom.

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

Omg.. c'mon media, when you ask "Why did the president pardon someone who he claims not to know", and they answer, "I haven't seen that." The follow-up is "Well now you know, so what do you have to say"?

This is just ludicrous. "I don't know" is basically "I dont care".

‘Democracy doesn’t get redrawn’: Indiana Black Legislative Caucus leads rally against new maps Members of the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus and multiple community advocates gathered Monday inside the Statehouse rotunda to oppose Republican efforts to redraw Indiana’s congressional maps…

what is up with Sliwa's hat

Body cams apparently show Border Patrol agents joking about tossing tear gas at a nonviolent protest, with one agent saying "Hey, throw it [tear gas] for fun."

Agents then tried to drive away, but there was apparently so much tear gas they were overcome, couldn't drive, and had to leave on foot.

Trump’s Approval Sinks BELOW Biden’s Post-Debate Nadir

Oh — the situation has escalated.

Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in.

"Jesus says very clearly … we're going to be asked, how did you receive the foreigner?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=taCi...

Crazy trump says what CA is doing over map redistricting is illegal, but if red states like Texas do it, it's okay. Crazy donnie has absolutely lost his mind.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.

This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.

As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.
