I don't even know what to say. This gleeful cruelty is despicable. I have some faith that it is also disgusting to average, non-posting types. I mean, this is just really fucking gross.

I cannot believe Adam Schiff steered the conversation back to “Biden is too old”. We have to be pragmatic. 1. Ds have to unite around another candidate FAST & that won’t happen. 2. Republican state AGs will sue to block the candidate change. It’s not practical. Stop the circular firing squad.

"Adam Schiff is wrong. Joe Biden is on track to beating Trump this November and is estimated to receive 277 electoral votes over Trump's 261 electoral votes. Why on earth are we still having this debate? The numbers don't lie. Voters have Biden's back"

I loathed George W Bush, but this is what the then Gov of Texas said at 2000 convention "The largest lesson I learned in Midland still guides me as governor of Texas: Everyone, from immigrant to entrepreneur, has an equal claim on this country's promise." Glimpse of how far GOP has devolved

The TX Governor also lead the crowd in a nativist chant of “send them back”. They mean it. This isn’t just some side issue, the radical nativism is the through line of this whole convention. The mass deportation agenda is the GOP‘s animating force in 2024.

I think the biggest story is that Republicans are about to nominate an adjudicated rapist and fraud convicted of felony voter deception who is vowing to help hand Europe over to Putin. But history is conspiring to make sure that this goes unsaid.

The lawlessness, violence, and cruelty of a second Trump term elected on an explicit promise of tens of millions of deportations will be utterly horrifying.

The Republican plan to separate American families and deport millions will devastate the economy. It will create job loss, increase inflation, and wreak havoc on key industries, including construction, healthcare, and agriculture.

Trump promises to turn the military and deputize the police into his show-me-your-papers force tasked with rounding up millions for mass detention camps. That is not hyperbole. This is the plan they are campaigning on.

None of this is for the real benefit of American families but at their great expense. Mass family separation will cost American jobs. Mass family separation will not make neighborhoods safer. Mass family separation will undermine the short and long-term prosperity of the nation.

This should horrify every decent American. Remember they mean deporting millions of Dreamers, farmworkers, long-settled immigrants who have contributed to our nation for decades. Businesses will suffer and families would be separated from coast to coast. Our neighbors, our coworkers, our loved ones.

If you live in New Jersey and care about these things, I highly recommend telling Governor Murphy you expect him to appoint Andy Kim, the elected D nominee, to replace Menendez in the Senate. www.nj.gov/governor/con...

As smarter people than me have noted: these sweeps will also inevitably rip from their homes plenty of legal immigrants and bona fide American citizens who "look like they're illegal."

During a Heritage event this week, Homan said that “no one’s off the table.” He means Dreamers, farmworkers, construction workers, frontline workers, family separation from coast to coast. "If you’re in the country illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder,” he continued.

So it seems like a LOT of teamsters are pretty fucking angry at Sean O'Brien today. Might be a good time for a homophonically-named labor leader to step up and make a big statement about that. Just a thought.

Senior Trump sycophant Peter Navarro, arguably one of the most dishonest, when not being the most annoying, just got out of prison. Because there just aren’t enough Republican seditionists running around without a leash.

If you're looking for something that could recharge the Democratic campaign, being able to run against the Court is a great option on several levels. Let this be the beginning.

Still not quite it, but finally Biden embraces *some* concrete court reform. According to sources it will include an enforceable ethics code, term limits for justices and a possible constitutional amendment revoking the immunity decision. Court expansion not mentioned. (Gift link)

Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changeswapo.st The president has discussed the plans with constitutional scholars and members of Congress in recent weeks.
