To give a sense of scale, about 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust. Something like 60-70 million people died in World War 2.
As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.
About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

Here’s that voter fraud Trump keeps talking about. It’s rare, and when it happens, it’s as likely, maybe more likely, to be for Trump as for the other candidate.
A small-town Kansas mayor is in trouble for voting illegally as a noncitizen—but the town of Coldwater, almost entirely Republican, is rallying around their mayor, who voted for Donald Trump in the last three elections and has lived in the town since he was a teenager. trib.al/K1au5Ny

But what’s most gross in this latest batch of emails is not criminality - it’s that the rich and powerful gladly associated with Epstein even after his sex crime conviction.

Amongst the ultra wealthy, only Warren Buffet and Bill Gates have given a meaningful fraction of their wealth away. And that’s not even considering *what* charities are given money.

Republicans' attempts to catch Dems in gotchas just keep getting dumber and dumber. Yeah, why would liberal citizens be concerned about ICE at polling places?
Because legally qualified American voters don't want to be harassed and intimidated by masked gunmen as a condition of going to vote. Is that really hard to understand?

When Dems regain power, they need to cancel all contracts with Elon’s companies. The government can’t be the lifeline to a private entity whose CEO wants to destroy the very foundations of this country.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Yet another example of the national political press failing at its job. They seem incapable of portraying facts as they are, instead bending everything into a partisan framing where there is no objective truth, just political disagreements.
Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

American citizenship isn't zero sum. I can't tell if Republicans genuinely are dumb and believe this or if its just pretext for their campaign of terror against immigrants.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

This is the natural endpoint of the increasingly powerful technological tools we’ve built being put into the hands of unaccountable authoritarians. Just gross abuses of the rights of ordinary Americans.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

This whole thing is chilling, but I want to point out the end: the witness is afraid to go home because she is worried she will be held indefinitely by feds, that other witnesses have been taken by feds, and that they are trying to cover up what happened.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
