When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Here's Paul Harvey in Human Events, April 1964 ("I Wanna Hold Your Hand" era Beatles), complaining about the dangerous, rampant immorality on college campuses. The college kids he's complaining about were mostly white, and are today in their early 80s.

But an analysis by @ctmirror.org and ProPublica shows that in nearly half the cases, the asking price was 50% or less of the book value.

Connecticut Towing Companies Frequently Value Cars Low, Allowing Them to Sell Vehicles Quickly
A database created by The Connecticut Mirror and ProPublica of more than 6,000 forms submitted by the state’s towing companies shows a pattern of low values, including for some luxury cars.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.
While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Brendan Carr did not “make a joke on social media,” he went on a podcast and said ABC had to take action against Kimmel or the FCC would revoke licenses! We all saw it! Ted Cruz quoted it on HIS podcast in a silly mafia accent!
JD Vance: "On the free speech conversation, I'm pretty sure Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air last night, and to the extent he's not back on the air it's because he's not funny and has terrible ratings. This is not a federal government problem ... the FCC commissioner made a joke on social media."

When QAnon emerged publicly in August 2018, the media was totally blindsided. Most had either no knowledge, or had actively ignored it. There's no excuse now. The president is sharing insane prophecy cult memes, and it needs to be covered. It's not normal.
The account from which Trump shared this QAnon image churns out an endless stream of material designed to drive race hate, antisemitism, fear & hatred of trans people, Muslims, etc. The message refers to "the Storm" of violence that QAnon cultists eagerly expect Trump to unleash.
