OPINION by @anthonylfisher.bsky.social: “Let’s not kid ourselves, racism and other forms of intolerance are already fully normalized within the MAGA movement.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Sounding very much like Archie Bunker with a law degree, Kelly said Mamdani, a U.S. citizen born in Uganda, is “not American,” and that Muslims “should not be ascending to our mayors and our governors” because “the tenets of Islam are not consistent with Western civilization.”

Megyn Kelly lets it rip with a bigoted, xenophobic, ahistorical rant about immigrants, Muslims and who gets to be an American...as MAGA fights a civil war over whether antisemites should be welcomed in the movement.

“Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to hold public office” is now a mainstream position on the right.

Unprecedented corruption - not just monetizing the presidency by selling branded products, but selling those products directly to government employees and having the Department of Homeland Security promote them to the media

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

“His tone was especially unbecoming for an immigrant” is a stunningly fucked-up thing to think, let alone put out into the world. It’s nasty work, even by the Post’s standards

Trillionaires for populism

File under: "things that concern me more than wokeness"

lol

Guys we need to talk about Biden's mental decline.

Bahahahahahaha

The Free Press' front page is four articles of MANDAMI PANIC, a Dick Cheney nostalgia essay, and one of the richest people in the world writing about why he gave $100 million to Bari Weiss' unaccredited anti-woke college.

Ezra Klein thinks this is doing politics the right way.

"You talk about how a lot of these Muslims, I don't know if they're radical or they're just Muslims, but either way, it's a problem because the tenets of Islam are not consistent with Western civilization. And I'm sorry, but they should not be ascending to our mayors and our governors and so on..."

They're totally not mad

When you stop using X then open it back up after a while, you realize how obviously it’s designed to elevate vicious jerks who share Musk and Trump’s cruelest, dumbest beliefs. Harder to see when you’re addicted to it; blazingly apparent from the outside looking in. Journalists: It’s bad for you!

In honor of Bill Ackman fleeing NYC, bumping this piece from last year.

America is murdering people without due process and without a declaration of war.

This is the era of Horseshoe Theory

This is phenomenal reporting from @radleybalko.bsky.social, although be warned, the term "gut punch" doesn't even cover it radleybalko.substack.com/p/accusing-j...

No need to navel gaze about a fascist future, the antisemitic, Hitlerite youth of today’s GOP—led by Nick Fuentes—shows that we are already there. New from me: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Can we all agree that when a president pardons a guy who was convicted for financing terrorists, and then says he didn't know the guy but "I was told" to pardon him, the follow question MUST be "Who told you to pardon him?" But CBS never asked: who is making decisions in the White House? 1/

An essential read from Carol Leonnig: “If it was anybody else, we'd arrest him tomorrow.” That’s what an experienced Justice Department official said about Donald Trump after the FBI discovered hundreds of classified documents concealed from investigators. And it’s indisputable.

60 Minutes Edits Donald Trump Telling Them 60 Minutes Should Edit Donald Trump Talking About How 60 Minutes Paid Him For Editing Kamala Harris (Bravo, @mmasnick.bsky.social)

Ben Shapiro comes oh-so-close to admitting that he's been friends and allies with gutter racists for years, but is upset that some have become more overtly antisemitic.

Bari Weiss gets the Trump endorsement, the logical endpoint of her fearless independent journalism at the Free Press

One CBS News insider told me that it was "fucking reckless" for 60 Minutes to omit Trump's boast about the payoff and his praise for Bari Weiss from the telecast. "Why would you subject yourself to this type of criticism? Just put it in," they said. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Megyn Kelly is mad as hell about Sydney Sweeney's boobs. Megyn Kelly is not mad at all about Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens chumming it up with Nazis.

Something something Biden's autopen

We’re not brutalizing grandmas in Chicago enough but I just pardoned the guy who helped fund Hamas because Don Jr. put his name on the bribe list.

Don't use Twitter. Don't support anything this guy can make money off of.

Jonathan Greenblatt doing clean-up for Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation is the same as Kevin Roberts doing clean-up for Tucker Carlson is the same as Tucker Carlson doing clean-up for Nick Fuentes

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

In term 1, Trump -bombed a govt the US hadn't before (Syria) -killed a foreign military commander for the first time since WWII (Soleimani) -changed rules of engagement to reduce avoidance of civilian casualties -pardoned and publicly celebrated convicted war criminals -destabilized situations -more

Of all the dumb Trump apologetics, sanewashing, and support for a fantasy version that diverges from the real thing, "no new wars" might be the single dumbest. He was already president! To know it's BS, just look at what he repeatedly says and already did. And yet, some really wanted to believe it.

A judge ordered agents involved in the Chicago deportation blitz to have "visible identification … prominently displayed." But they've been missing in dozens of @chicago.suntimes.com photographs. From @bylaurenfitz.bsky.social, Anthony Vazquez and Ashlee Rezin: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Very Serious Right-Wing Think Tank Guy says we need to ban porn to keep neo-Nazis from taking over the MAGA movement.

MAGA chuds who draw the line at antisemitism can't accept their former friends and employers were bigots all along — so they call them woke

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

Damn that's crazy

Project 2025 architect refuses to condemn an antisemitic white nationalist. Normalizing gutter racism is Trump's legacy.

This is nowhere close to being true. Two @ij.org clients are citizens who were arrested & @propublica.org found 168 more. Plus, we have witness statements from others who--like most of the citizens caught up by Noem's tactics--didn't have their arrests recorded so they didn't make the news.

Gather round kids: Once upon a time, when a political lie was really clearly and conclusively debunked, political actors would tend to stop repeating it. One of Trump's big insights was that... you can just keep saying it. The press eventually gets bored of pointing out the same lie.
