Ask yourself why all the most egregious details of the ICE debacle in Georgia are coming from foreign media outlets? It’s beyond clear that the media is under covering certain stories to avoid the ire of the Trump administration. This has been clear for some time.

You really see right now how liberalism is over. Schumer about to pass the Trump budget. Klein painting a Nazi as a great man. Abundance bros teaming up with fascists. They gave up. They want in with the Trump coalition. Dems a totally irrelevant party. Walking dead.

@AbubakerAbedW @FIFAcom still doesn’t care

Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.

Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.

It’s the guns.

@DonEford More damage than RFK? He’s the impetus for all of this. And 16 states is a lot plus we still don’t know when we’ll have Novavax. We all appreciate your work but you could just admit that you underestimated this, it would be more credible

[Justice Democrats @justicedems]

This Party's leadership is not actually this dumb. It knows its own voters oppose Israel's genocide.

They are willfully out of step with their own voters because they'd rather be bought & paid for by AIPAC than stand up to them.

It's not stupidity, it's corruption.

[Dilan Esper @dilanesper]

One of the incidents that gave rise to this case involved a person who was roughed up by the ICE agents before he was able to show his REAL ID, which, once he gave to the agents, they then confiscated and didn't give back to him.

Democrats seem to have made their decision: they want a (probably short-term) extension of ACA subsidies in exchange for passing a budget bill. In other words, something Republicans need in exchange for something Republicans want. From me:

It would be interesting to see what Trump's presidency would be like if the USA had an opposition party.

[Tim Recuber @timr100]

@kenklippenstein Astounding instincts.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

This was very clear once the deportations started, yet Schumer and Jeffries have discouraged congressional Dems making a stink about the issue.

"Where do centrists find our Mamdani?"

You had your Mamdani. His name was Barack Obama. He had once-in-a-generation charisma. And because centrism is a bankrupt, useless ideology, he was a terrible president. You had your chance, sorry!

[Kentuckian Mélenchoniste🌹🇫🇷🇵🇸🇺🇦🇻🇪 @ExMiserian597]

If Cuomo had won the primary, by one vote or a hundred thousand, Jeffries and Schumer would’ve endorsed him immediately and the media would be hailing him the new face of the party and screaming how the party needs to move even further right.

Don’t even try to pretend otherwise.

We are in big trouble and entering dark times.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Former Philippine President Duterte is in custody in The Hague, having been charged by the International Criminal Court for ordering the summary execution of alleged drug traffickers. Trump just ordered the summary execution of 11 alleged drug traffickers. https://t.co/T4tjhVNNeh

Why didn’t we just track and interdict the vessel in US waters, arrest the crew and seize the drugs, as the US Coast Guard routinely does?

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field.

New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.

@KenRoth Disgusting just killing w no evidence or trial

@kenklippenstein What crimes are solved by the National Guard?
