One violent act by one perpetrator. Then suddenly an entire group is declared the enemy. If it feels like MAGA treats every tragedy as proof that “the left” or any out-group is inherently dangerous, you’re not imagining it. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-maga...

Trump tells supporters in a new fundraising email that if they don’t donate to him within the next hour, Democrats will steal their "tariff rebate checks" and give them to "illegals," that the country is "boiling over," and that only an immediate cash transfer to him can stop total disaster.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Bit of a wild story. Hearing this second hand, but buckle up.

ICE attempted to pull a Kavanaugh stop last night (Christmas Eve), pulling over my mom’s boss (an LPR). He proved his immigration status, but they decided to go after the coworker he was with instead. It gets wilder from here… 1/

@kenwhite.bsky.social Has Jacob finally committed his big boy federal crime?
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
