Literally all they've got any more is KKK-style nativism, directed specifically at Latinos. Every single GOP message collapses back to this. They've become the Klan

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

As increasing attention focuses on Stephen Miller's unhinged rants, he risks making himself—like Elon Musk—a toxic figure w/o the loyal fan base his boss enjoys.

While 47 blames the left for violence (statistically false), one wonders how long he will let Miller stomp all over his messaging.

Stephen Miller is the Poster Boy for the Rabid MAGA Movement

The more voters see of him, the more repulsed they’ll be

The GOP literally wants to kill women.

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

S. Carolina RE-Intros Bill To Kill Women For Getting An Abortion

Here's what's in the bill, why it is so dangerous, and the meaningful steps you can take to fight back, support women's health, and help block this bill from becoming law

Note that he's changed the preposition in a way that makes it even *more* nonsensical.

It was "transgender for everybody."

Now it's "transgender from everybody."

A nontrivial shift, because it's further evidence of his deteriorating temporal lobes.

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

Never forget when Pam Bondi lied that the Epstein list was “on her desk.”

She will always put Donald Trump ahead of America.

Whenever I say people should leave the military, I'm told that we need the good people to stay because they're a firewall against unjust orders. Okay. When does that happen? Assassinating Venezuelan fisherman? National Guard in cities? Insurrection Act? Excited to see this firewall in action soon.

US District Judge Karin Immergut issued a second temporary restraining order barring deployment of Natl Guard to Oregon from ANY State. Her prior TRO issued two days ago barred Texas NG. Trump appointed Judge Immergut in 2018. She was confirmed in 2019.

Connect with your people offline. Take the chats to signal but also take your close relationships offline entirely. We need to be connected when they shut this all down.

What’s your organizing plan if things go dark? Where do you meet? Who picks up what work? How do we communicate?
