For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

The disregard for the truth is criminal. The Republican Party just uses a misleading stat, creates a false narrative to feed their base, and moves on to the next one.
MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone
TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6?
JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd
TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.
Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.
