Reporting from the Financial Times on Xinjiang remains incredibly grim:

* In some areas, 90% of children are taken from parents to be educated in boarding schools where they aren't allowed to speak Uyghur
* Officials monitor who eats during Ramadan and report those who skip meals
* Basic items like prayer mats and religious text are considered illegal contraband
* Adult Uyghur women are pressured to marry Han Chinese men, and there are official goals to sterilize a certain % of them.
* Xinjiang has the largest prison capacity in the world relative to population
* Huge numbers of Uyghur prisoners are now being shipped across the country in forced labor schemes, as a way to dodge Xinjiang sanctions/boycotts
* The CCP shut down all 10 existing Uyghur-language publishers, none remain. They fed one university's book collection into a shredder.

There's a lot going on the world, but it's worth remembering that China is still actively engaged in cultural genocide. They're barely even hiding it, they openly talk about the need to 'correct' Uyghur culture and create 'ethnic unity'. They are openly destroying an entire culture as efficiently as they can, cutting children off from parents, restricting language, restricting religious practice, forcing sterilizations and intermarriage, imprisoning anyone who resists the tiniest amount and shipping them out to forced labor factories. That is what the CCP is.

Trump looting almost $2 billion from the government coffers to pay his supporters is one of the largest scandals in US history.

But our press is so beaten down and the public has become so fatigued by his constant criminality that it's barely a news story.

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

Incredible- Trump's $2 billion taxpayer-subsidized slush fund comes with a legal disclaimer that basically says "we are not responsible for any crimes committed with this money"

On average, one person dies in ICE custody every six days. This is the highest rate EVER for the agency, and a sign of massive failures to keep people in custody safe and healthy.

“Trump never called for vigilante assassinations,” except the time he supported the hanging of Mike Pence because Pence didn’t help him overturn the election he lost and still whines about to this day

MAGA is blatantly trying to use incidents of political violence to muzzle the media.

George Washington believed that vaccinating his troops against smallpox was the key to winning the Revolutionary War and our independence. A founding father from 250 years ago had a better understanding of science and military readiness than Pete Hegseth.

Most corrupt administration in US history.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This deserves much more attention.

Hungary’s incoming PM just admitted on the record that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to finance CPAC.

His exact words: “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place, it was a crime.”

He is opening a criminal probe in Hungary.

This demands a parallel investigation here.

Federal law bars any foreign national, including a foreign government, from directly or indirectly giving money or anything of value in connection with a U.S. election.

It also bars any American from soliciting or accepting it.

CPAC is the flagship networking event for Republican candidates, members of Congress, and the conservative political operation. Money flowing from a foreign government into that ecosystem is exactly what the statute was written to stop.

We need answers.

How much did Orbán’s government send? Who received it? What was it spent on? Did any of it underwrite electioneering, candidate travel, or political messaging in the United States?

Congress should demand records. The FEC and DOJ should open formal investigations. CPAC should disclose every dollar received from any Hungarian government entity or state-linked institution.

Foreign governments do not get to buy influence in American elections.

Not from the left.

Not from the right.

Not ever.

“Trump threatening to destroy a whole civilization is a negotiating tactic, and we shouldn’t take it seriously. Which is why it is so brilliant, because the other side knows he won’t go through with it, which is how threats work in negotiations”

Unbefuckinglievable. He HAS to go. His threat of extermination is unconscionable.
