The Republican Party is now led by Nazis. There is only one rule now-
Never help the Nazis
Never vote to confirm their people. Never allow unanimous consent. Never. Never. Never. There is no bipartisan anymore. There is just helping Nazis or not helping Nazis.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:
In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

Even as the National Guard is deployed in a perimeter around half my neighborhood to try to prevent ICE’s campaign of violence from boiling over, ICE continues to send lurking cars of armed feds on patrol around the city and stage shows of force around the region. Insane. Unthinkable

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

Hey CNN, this far into the Trump admin, the fact that you lead with the blatantly false claims made by the administration is a *you* problem. If you refuse to do actual journalism, and only want to be a mouthpiece of the state, just say so and stop pretending to be journalists.
Video shows the moment a federal agent shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis.
The victim was armed and resisting, according to the Department of Homeland Security, and it's unclear what led up to the deadly shooting.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Preventing ICE from murdering civilians could have a chilling effect on future presidents’ ability to terrify the nation with a secret police force.

I’m sure there’s no shortage of MAGA and ICE sympathizers in the department. But it’s also a little unclear what they could do. And they have noticeably turned a blind eye to rapid response and done absolutely nothing to help the feds that I’ve seen.

I’ll be honest, I have not come out of this particularly angry about the MPD. They’re massively outgunned and the idea of a federal-local armed conflict is scary. They’re also very noticeably nowhere to be seen whenever ICE conducts any operation. The mutual contempt is palpable
I imagine this is souring an already not great perception of the Minneapolis PD amongst the populace? I understand they’re “outnumbered” but I can’t imagine living under this terror and having any respect for the local police who didn’t even try to protect its people.

This. You were paid a lot and a lot of power and responsibility were placed on your shoulders. You preened for years on how important your roles were. And then at the first adverse wind you folded like cheap lawn chairs while ordinary people took up the torch of the values you claimed to defend.
The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things

On his trip to MN yesterday, Vance said DHS wasn’t targeting people based on race.
Not only is that false, remember, this Admin took a case to SCOTUS specifically arguing they should be allowed to do that.
Trump’s SCOTUS ruled in their favor.
Don't be fooled by their lies.
