The National Archives withheld the part of the call with Reagan's racist remark when it was first released, but made the full conversation public this month.

As someone who works elections, this is 💯
The funny thing about the MAGA voter ID crusade is...are they SURE they want to do that? Increase the hurdles to advantage the most motivated? Because I assure you, Democratic voters will jump through any hoop you put in front of them to get a ballot cast. Can MAGA say the same of its voters?

Secretary Noem told the press that Arizona "is an absolute disaster" when it comes to elections — yet she could not provide a single example to support that claim because its patently untrue. In fact, Arizona already requires documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Arizona's elections are safe and secure. The election deniers now staffing the Trump administration have spent the past six years lying to the American people in a deliberate effort to destroy trust in our election system.

john fetterman wants you to believe the 'sexism' problem is calling Kristie Noem a (very tame) name instead of how pregnant immigrant women in minneapolis cant go to the hospital or get prenatal care bc they're too afraid of being kidnapped & brutalized by ICE
Fetterman: "I met with Secretary Noem. I've always treated her with respect. I refuse and never will engage in the kinds of sexist terms like 'ICE Barbie' that the left media will use."

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

I’m pretty sure Jesus would not approve of this.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The concept of “lying under oath” is up for grabs right now. All the Trump SCOTUS judges did it about Roe. Kennedy did it to get his post. If one of these fuckers isn’t prosecuted it will be crystal clear that there are zero repercussions for doing so, and everyone will lie forever.

Reporter: Part of the fighting inside DHS is also around Corey Lewandowski's pursuit to carry a government-issued firearm. This fight got so intense that a lawyer for ICE was walked out of the building and then was put on administrative leave. This is not normal.

👇🎯 @willbunch.bsky.social is right. The reason all the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - from 1865 to now - is because there are never any actual legal, personal, & professional consequences for the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics. That must change this time.
Gift article: "We won’t get anything resembling democracy until we clear that widespread debris, and that means sending a bunch of these liars to prison, because they are the real criminals. America desperately needs truth and consequences."
