"Yesterday, at a Faith and Freedom Coalition town hall in Washington, D.C., Representative Tom Emmer (R-MN), the third-ranking Republican in the House, made the white nationalism of the Republican Party clear.

He said: “Minnesotans are so afraid that you’re gonna call us a racist, you’re gonna call us an Islamophobe…. You know what? I would argue that I never did care, but I’m done being careful, even the least bit careful…. [Somalis] don’t assimilate. And if they don’t assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from.”

Eric Henderson of CBS News notes that Emmer has moved dramatically rightward in the past decade.

In 2016, Emmer told NPR that the Somali community in Minnesota was among “the fastest-assimilating populations that we’ve had.” “I’m going to say it out loud,” he said, “when you move to a community, as long as you are here legally, I am very sorry, but you don’t get to slam the gate behind you and tell nobody else that they’re welcome. That’s not the way this country works.”

The once grand Republican Party has become a party of radical extremists, coalescing around white nationalism.

Meanwhile, voters in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries in New York rejected two established Democrats in favor of newcomers with more progressive policies.

In response, Trump is trying out midterm messaging that calls Democrats “hard core, godless communists.” “They’re animals,” Trump said of his political opponents today in a speech to Christian conservatives at a convention of the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington. “We have to stop this, this horrible thread of cancer that’s permeating our country called communism.”

Trump’s rhetoric shows just how far to the right American politics have slid.

Communism is a political ideology that calls for public ownership of major resources as well as the means of production, so that the state, rather than private individuals or corporations, owns factories, farms, mines, and so on.

In theory, although seldom in practice, the state then redistributes wealth according to need.

Communism has never been popular in the United States, and the only politician calling for state takeover of private industries is Trump, under whom the government has taken stakes in at least nine companies involved in steel, minerals, nuclear energy, and semiconductors, costing at least $10 billion in taxpayer money.

Unlike communism, the sort of government both Democrats and Republicans embraced from 1933 to 1981 was very popular, and those opposed to the Trump administration appear to be starting to demand such a government again."

Maybe Vance doesn't know this history because it's in one of the books his administration banned.

The difference between Watergate and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028.

You can believe me now or believe me in 2028.

Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation at all.” – Donald Trump

“Affordability is a hoax.” – Donald Trump

“Nobody gives a shit about housing.” – Donald Trump

“I love the inflation.” – Donald Trump

When people tell you who they are, believe them. Vote every Republican off the ballot. Every. Single. One.

[Mitch Jackson, Esq. @mitchjackson]

Let me be really clear about what just happened.

The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.

You don’t get to look away from this one.

This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.

Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.

Stay informed. Stay loud.

Socialism is the fire department saving your house.

Capitalism is the insurance company denying your claim.

Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.

And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."

And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."

And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."

That's the U.S. government.

Donald Trump will go down in history as the only US President to be outwitted by a single-celled organism.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

We've been forced to pay into social security our whole damn working lives, but this little weasel and the Republicans think we don't deserve OUR MONEY back in full when we retire? They say we're not "entitled" to it.

Fuck that.
See you in November, GOP. 🔥

He was sentenced to ten years. Republicans let him out after 6 months. Disgusting.

Taking a floating paint chip out of the Reflecting Pool is vandalism.

Smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol is patriotism.

Got it.
