This is horrific.

Every Republican member of Congress should be asked about this every day for the rest of their lives.
Trump, who has called Somalians “garbage,” repeated past racist lies in a social post today. No, the vast majority of Somalian immigrants did not come here “illegally.” No, Ilhan Omar is not tied to any fraud. No, she did not marry her brother. And yes, she’s a real congresswoman. 6/7 🧵

Donald Trump is a deranged, habitual liar whose relationship with reality ended years ago.

I often think back to a Greek taxi driver who once told me: "Too many people want the harshest laws they can imagine - for everyone except themselves."

This thinking is rife on the right, but it is also prevalent in a significant minority on the left. And that last part always takes me by surprise.

I totally think, by the way, that @mrjamesob.bsky.social's suggestion of charting the course of an alternative reality after "People Shit Themselves at Historical Events" is a future multi-award-winning podcast, if he is up for it.
@pimlicat.bsky.social's Back to The Future wish was to move a meeting by a few of weeks.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social needs a billion to buy the Telegraph and make it funnier than the Guardian.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social's fervently yearns to give someone bad diarrhoea.

Your regular dose of hypocrisy from Farage who, unlike apparently Abd El Fattah, has made neither a full nor a sincere apology for all the hateful racism he spewed out as a young man.

I’ve seen thousands of posts about welfare fraud from right-wingers on social media, which should be prosecuted if people committed crimes, but zero posts about the dozens of wealthy rich fraudsters who stole billions from thousands of people who have been pardoned by Trump.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage.

His first question was: “who funds him?”

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

You'd hope Centrists would examine the fruits of their stranglehold on politics in recent decades, profound decline on any view, and emerge with some modest curiosity about whether their predicates have been proven correct. But... no.

In one year, the GOP have alienated allies, neighbors, democratic partners, & it’s own citizens. Canada, Mexico, NATO, the EU, the UK, France, Ukraine, Brazil, Nigeria all treated as threats. This is how a country shrinks its influence & hands leverage to its rivals. China is watching - closely
JD Vance has declared that France and the United Kingdom having nuclear weapons is a security threat to the United States.

Russia and MAGA want every remaining democracy in the world to be weakened and defenseless.
