Dems- don't engage "you want healthcare for undocumented immigrants." Reply with "The shutdown is for one reason only- to hide the Epstein evidence that is so damaging to the White House." Every interview, every comment, every time. Learn how to win in the court of public opinion one goddam time.

I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

Villa: The community is not going out to shop. We are seeing people who are still fearful of sending their children to school… They’re relying on a network that they’ve created to help with that. We are seeing grocery stores empty and volunteers having to make food runs for people in the community.

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

Everything we see about ICE has to be understood through the fact that theyre completely incapable of hitting their quotas, so theyre having to resort to more out of pocket shit to try & do so, which makes them less popular & encourages more resistance, which means harder times hitting the quotas.

📌 The entire world 🌎 is laughing at America now 🐥

Broken doors. Blood stains. Baby shoes on the floor. NewsNation was invited to film it. What happened in Chicago this week was horrifying. The cruelty isn’t the byproduct. It’s the show.

I wrote this piece about 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's murder. On the costs of speaking the truth in today's world. And how Jamal's memory still stalks Saudi Arabia--- and the Washington Post. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

The American Gestapo is dragging Americans out of bed and handcuffing them with no warrant to try to convince you that brown people are hurting you rather than the truth which is that white male child rapists are selling America for parts to oligarchs and don’t care who gets stomped. #GOPFascism

Still thinking about this by the way paragraph in the Sun Times piece on the apartment building raid. Full story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I am disappointed (but not surprised) that some of the "new crop" of democratic candidates are still out here acting like healthcare is the only problem with the budget. The government should stay shut down until ICE is defunded. Period. This should be a big (if not the main) point of discussion.

Trump Epstein Statue Back Up on National Mall

Seeing the hate and outrage over Bad Bunny being named the super bowl halftime act, shows that it was never about America first, but its about racism and if you don't look like "us" you don't belong. Puerto Ricans are American citizens. So they're either dumb or racist. I'll take BOTH for 200 Alex.

the bari weiss stuff is enraging because she is a vapid, narcissistic, dilettante dipshit, but it is precisely those qualities that will likely end with her destroying what’s left of cbs news, which may be the best of bad options, considering who owns it going forward

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.

Imagine running an opposition party and not making a promise to put Stephen Miller in supermax a central promise of your midterm campaign

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

They dismembered a journalist. I think Chapelle thinks free speech means people have to laugh at unfunny jokes.

"Meet the Trumpy Immigration Judge Who Wants Kilmar Abrego Garcia Deported. Again" The judge who just denied Abrego Garcia’s asylum bid previously signed onto a controversial memo clearing the way for Trump to arrest immigrants at court hearings.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Absolutely awful to have to re-circulate @onthemedia.bsky.social's Breaking News Consumer's Handbook on Yom Kippur, but here we are. Stay safe, everyone.

The answer is a general strike. The answer is a general strike. The answer is a genera strike.

It is getting to the point where it’s verging on *moral* bankruptcy that Dem leaders have only tied shutdown demands to just ACA assurances or w/e

Americans already see what’s up. They know Democrats are on the right side of this shutdown because we know it’s really a healthcare fight. Our dear friend Susan would like a word with Russell Vought. 🔥

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

They rounded up Americans. They separated American families. They put flex ties on children which are plastic handcuffs. They destroyed their homes. They and their children are traumatized. Enough.

Wow. This really says it all.

They rapelled down from Blackhawk helicopters in this raid. I promise you this raid was done for a cinematic 4K promo video that will be released shortly. This stuff doesn’t just happen. It’s almost always for digital content.

Here’s what we know about the 2024 election: A MASSIVE number of ballots (substantially more than the margin of the election) were undercount DEM ballots in the seven swing states. Meaning the entire ballot was voted Dem, but the top slot for POTUS was counted as blank. Now you can believe

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

“Stephen Miller screamed: ‘They have no idea how ruthless we are.’ In South Shore, that ruthlessness looked like zip ties, blood, and baby shoes. That’s not security. That’s rabid.”

Read the Martin Niemöller poem. We are living it.

The Kavanaugh Stops will continue until morale improves.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

Journalists should never have to fear government retaliation for reporting on government activity, and showing up to work shouldn't result in your family being torn apart.

Mario had the right to work and report in the U.S. at the time he was arrested for livestreaming a protest in June. He was held for over 100 days in ICE detention, and he did not have the chance to say goodbye to his family in person before being deported.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

It’s honestly shocking to me that tech has effectively rolled over and accepted it now costs $100K to hire a foreign worker. The degree of capitulation during his second presidency has been quite stunning.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

The best news! ❤️

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Tariffs + deportations + govt shutdown + artificial intelligence _______________________ = finance.yahoo.com/news/us-hiri...

Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you That is not, in fact, what ICE does He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/brett...

one of the primary tactics of narcissism and yes fascism as fascism is large scale cultural narcissism IS THE USE OF SOCIAL DYNAMICS TO AVOID BLAME based in keeping the social players silent by TARGETING different people/groups

Stephen Miller screamed: ‘They have no idea how ruthless we are.’ In South Shore, that ruthlessness looked like zip ties, blood, and baby shoes. That’s not security. That’s rabid.
