Good story. But IDing this white supremacist/Nazi only as an “influencer” in this post and sub-head is a bit of a disservice to the reader.
For years, influencer Nick Fuentes was too extreme even for MAGA. Now he's working his way into the mainstream—and has a plan for his secret followers to seize the levers of power.

Please stop asking Donald Trump to please be reasonable. He is out to destroy you not cut a deal with you.
Kaine: "We're just asking if we do a deal, please Mr President don't sign the deal and then immediately start taking away funds, rescinding agreements that you just made yesterday. A deal should be a deal."

So embarrassing.
asked about the Comey indictment on CNN, Rep. Mike Turner serves up a total word salad instead of just acknowledging the obvious truth, which is that Trump weaponizing the DOJ is wrong and indefensible

Is this all performative? Is it possible to have "good-faith negotiations" with someone who has essentially called for your annihilation?
Jeffries: "We're headed into the meeting [with Trump] to have a good faith negotiation about landing the plane in a way that avoids a government shutdown but does not continue the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people."

Under Trump, the federal government is now a concierge service for those who pay tribute to him.
“I’ve not heard of anything this egregious — a donor calling up and saying I need help and getting it,” one disaster relief expert said, “while others may be getting denied assistance or otherwise waiting in line for help that may or may not come.”

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.
