Saying “Free Palestine” is considered antisemitic but dehumanizing Muslims as less than dogs is considered free speech for which this MAGA member of Congress will face zero consequences whatsoever.

Question for Democratic leadership: how much of your dispirited and wavering base thinks numbers like this are a measure of success?
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

Apparently it is the position of the Trump administration that Germany has nothing at all in its recent history to be ashamed of.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

So, the first review is in for the Melania movie, from Australia. (I guess they can't keep critics out of public showings.) But it leaves me confused. If the film's subject comes off in the movie itself as a "chilly, lifeless socialite wannabe", is the film itself still being "willfully deceitful"?

With all due respect to the NFL veteran here, the whole problem in the Senate is that Chuck Schumer sees Republican Senators as colleagues, not opponents...
For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
