The staffer thing is so funny, like an entirely white nationalist administration has to be like oh no, there’s one of us who’s more racist that the rest of the ethnic cleansers
After huffily defending Trump for posting the racist apes video, the White House is now blaming it on an unnamed staffer.
“A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down,” a White House official told Zeteo.

BREAKING: Madman President Promotes Racist Video of the Obamas as Apes
Trump’s policies and actions are fueled by explicit racism and election denial. The Obama-ape video encompasses both, writes @swin24.bsky.social.

Trump and the Republicans are trying to rig the election. That's not being a "doomer," that's acknowledging reality.
Democrats need a coordinated, national response to these coordinated, national attacks. We need an "Elections Czar"

Watching commentators still refusing to see the white nationalism of this administration and arguingTrump is targeting Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit because they are blue cities is just, it’s got to be intentional at this point. There are a ton of blue cities. These are majority Black cities.

Der… der… ,math is hard 🙃
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Yeah, but those were Republicans, duh 🙃
The GOP is outraged that Jack Smith, with judicial search warrants, accessed the phone records of half a dozen GOP Senators who Trump and his people called on or around J6.
Meanwhile, DHS is doing the same thing to thousands, or 10s of thousands, of people right now, without a real warrant.

"I love the poorly educated," Trump declared in 2016. A decade later, MAGA has manifested that love into policy. They're purging scientists from govt; defunding R&D; and blocking the best & brightest from around the world from studying, teaching, working, or founding businesses in the United States.

What's morale like at CBP & ICE right now? New survey data are damning.
*21% of CBP respondents (9% of ICE respondents) believe their agencies' political leaders maintain high standards of integrity.
*Only 23% at CBP (18% at ICE) feel confident they could report illegal acts without retribution
