The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

Please understand that This is Trump regime explaining how they will use the government to prosecute Democrats. Page 1 of the fascist playbook is imprison political opponents so that the fascist has one party rule.

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

"The U.S. should not be blowing up boats without even knowing who’s on them. There’s no due process in that — no names, no evidence, no oversight."... No shit, Rand Paul is right

Jen Rubin @jenrubin.bsky.social · 2h

From that commie-pinko Rand Paul: No debate. No vote. Just endless war. That’s what they’re pushing—again.

I took to the Senate floor to say not this time. The American people deserve a voice before we're dragged into another forever war.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

I've had a long day and so can't really do this myself, yet.

But I hope people realize this shitshow propaganda fest needs a very coordinated vigorous response?

Like rap sheets for all the people present?

Mockery? Music videos?

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

NEW: The 9th Circuit has lifted Judge Immergut’s FIRST restraining order, but NOT her second one. So the national Guard still can’t be deployed to Portland despite this 9th circuit administrative stay because the SECOND TRO is still in place.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

In a Chicago suburb, Berwyn, IL, multiple ICE goons and a cameraman surrounded a resident who blew his horn and walked down the street in his own neighborhood. They demanded his ID and threatened to arrest him for impeding their audit.
