ESPN just cooking their own asses for no reason. This is truly nuts. Trump hates sports and hates football and they put him front and center on their programming. This has zero to do with sports. If I worked for ESPN I'd be livid they're pushing Stephen A Politics and McAfee as their name brands.
Trump to Pat McAfee: "I'm only joining you because I hear you say such nice things about me. When people say nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice about me, I take a pass."

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

Vance shares a strange immunity with Trump.
The press cannot or will not pierce through his rhetoric to see the what-should-be-obvious danger of the man.
This includes:
1. Vance follows lots of neo-Nazis on X
2. His championing of Germany's far right
3. HE'S WELCOMING HITLER LOVERS INTO THE GOP

JD Vance now leads the GOP. And he wants the party to welcome Hitler lovers.
And the press refuses to reckon with what this means.

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.

4/ My hunch is that the real dynamic is there. There are already enough cave votes to throw in the towel. But the cavers desperately want cover from the rest of the caucus. So everyone jumps together or enough join them to make it look like the caucus was ready to cave.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

according to pilsen defense & access, two of the people detained by feds were a 14 year old and 18 year old who stood in the way of agents to protect their mom.
they were taken, along with a handful of others, to the fbi field office in chicago, where they were held without contact or charges.

Trumpers have established a secret police infrastructure in which growing fear and terror in targeted communities is the goal, not just a byproduct, of "enforcement" operations.
Read this factual local story about an ICE operation in Syracuse, N.Y. at centralcurrent.org
Local officials, citizens, and families of detainees are shut out of information and are left with little but mystery.
The government shutdown is used as an excuse.

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?
