along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president

I should be doing work right now, but a House Hunters just started and the opening voiceover was: “When a couple has a 25-year age gap, it can lead to some confusion on the house hunt.” So work can wait for a half hour I guess.

In 1994 Pat Buchanan surveyed 7000 of his most dedicated supporters on their opinions about immigration. What they said was wildly out of touch with the GOP ca. 1994, but 100% in line with the GOP ca. 2025. This included a border wall and getting rid of birthright citizenship.

This page from the 2005 Council of Conservative Citizens' publication might sound familiar--the 14th Amendment sucks, Harvard has gone woke (by Pat Buchanan), and white nationalist misogynist Sam Francis defending Larry Summers' sexist essentialism against Harvard's woke mob.

In 1999 Tucker Carlson called out Pat Buchanan’s conspiratorial antisemitism for the toxic threat it posed to American politics. Today he’s giving softball interviews to straight up neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes who make Pat seem quite tame in comparison. youtu.be/AC9QBYdInJk?...

Remember when Ruben Gallego preened around over his support for the Laken Riley Act, and pundits treated him as having the magic key to Dems' working class woes?

Well, Spanberger voted against it and erased GOP gains with working class, including among Latinos:

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

The cruelty is the point.
Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago spent nearly two months in ICE detention—despite having protection under DACA—until a federal judge ruled that the government had no reason to keep her in custody and ordered her release.

DHS is still vowing to "explore every available option to remove" her. My latest:
