Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.
Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional
Over the weekend the former head of Trump's Border Patrol attended a summit with fascists from around the world who are calling for "Weimar solutions" and it for some reason has received almost no press coverage.

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility.
ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions.
Let me walk you through it.
In the wealthiest city in the richest country on Earth, it is unacceptable that so many students have been left behind.
So we’re investing in what works: high-quality instruction, strong support for teachers, and a public school system that doesn’t give up on anyone.
The $17.3 million expansion of NYC Reads & NYC Solves programs will help make sure every NYC student succeeds.
Can't overstate how important it is to celebrate and publicize these historic wins in the face of huge rightwing ideological & political apparatuses.
Within one 24 hour period, Trump:
- got out of a $100 million IRS fine
- secured "immunity" from all future tax investigations for his family and friends
- created a $1.8 billion slush fund for lawbreaking supporters
- was reported for likely insider trading worth nearly $1 billion
All of the obvious things to say about this are true. It's bad. Nobody even tries to defend it. The closest thing to a defense you get is something about how "but Democrats suck" and "woke was also bad," which is not a defense, but rather a kind of moral blank check made out to the administration to give them the right to do anything.
But what I'm most curious about is whether this sort of lurid corruption creates a countermovement that successfully returns government to rule of law or whether it's establishing a norm of executive imperialism that every future administration will use to achieve its ends, which can always be justified by the moral blank check of "the other side is worse, so let us do whatever we want."
Good morning.
The President of the United States is currently looting the treasury. He’s just taking your money for his own purposes. Billions of it.
And Republicans won’t do anything because their loyalty isn’t to you, it’s to him.
