If you want to reduce crime you’re better off deporting white people, who commit more of it, than immigrants. It’s a big country and it’s easy to cherry-pick bad things, but Musk is targeting immigrants because he’s a xenophobic creep trying to spread hate

Trump is now repeatedly saying he’s going to be a dictator on day one and I don’t think we should keep asking what he means. That’s what he means.

It's insane, completely insane, to watch the right and far left once again gravitate towards the notion that Democrats, and especially Biden, are warmongers, and Donald Trump is a secret dove. These people cannot stop making Trump into a cipher for their populist fantasies

In the eyes of the media, BIDEN is running for president, a job that requires extraordinary acuity, insight, scrupulousness, and patriotism. But Trump is running for Clown President, a job that requires being the biggest goof in the room. And that’s the standard each is held to.

Trump is running for president. Not a pretend Hollywood version of president but the real version, with nuclear weapons. So why don’t the mainstream media raise the alarm when he says things that are both ignorant and deranged?

It took like three days for Democrats to let a manufactured Fox News controversy bully them into effectively censuring one of their own senators, a legitimate national celebrity, for his lovable habit of dressing down. THIS IS WHY THIS PARTY SUCKS AND FAILS

What people need to understand is that these contradictions aren’t a SYMPTOM of Trumpism. They point to its very core - its emotional, psychological appeal to millions of America. The ability to sustain these contradictions is why Trump was elected, how his movement exists.

Future generations are not going to understand the unique frustration of this era, where one party transparently acts like comic-book villains, and then every other political institution, from media to their opposition party, pretends they have complex, sympathetic motives.

The thing is, with Taibbi, it seemed that he was handed a bunch of files by Musk and told to write about them. That's PR, not journalism. But with Weiss, it's worse. He just handed full access to internal account data to a political pundit so she could publicly settle scores.

Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor part accompanied this monumental session with a six-vote margin in the House and a bare one-vote majority in the Senate. The scale of their achievement cannot be overstated.

To round up migrants, Miller said, Trump would dispatch forces to “go around the country arresting illegal immigrants in large-scale raids.” Then, it would build “large-scale staging grounds near the border, most likely in TX,” to serve as internment camps for migrants

The problem with the Pelosi-Hamilton thing is not that it's cringe, it's that Dems always seem to believe they're playing politicians a TV show with no real stakes, and commemorating an actual coup with guests from a hit musical suggests they still don't get this is all for real.

If you claim your overriding moral imperative is helping Palestinians, but when asked to consider the consequences of a second Trump term for Palestinians, you say "That's a problem for Biden, not me," I think your overriding moral imperative is not actually helping Palestinians
