So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

A 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts was detained by local police on Thursday. When his mother arrived to pick him up, she learned that her son had instead been taken into ICE custody and later transferred to a juvenile facility in Virginia, more than 500 miles away.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*
