Oh wow. Mike Lawler got so rattled when Cait Conley accurately called him out on his SALT deduction lie that he tried to get up and leave before being told by the forum moderator to sit down and calm down. Oh, and the crowd laughed at him, too. #NY17

That’s not the only reason Mike Lawler is rattled. He’s terrified because he knows Cait Conley is going to take his seat

This penultimate paragraph in @gregsargent.bsky.social’s new piece is a devastating summary of the GOP’s racial politics.

Trump and MAGA have pulled off some astounding political sleight of hand. They have openly advertised that their ideological goal is ethnic cleansing, recruiting ICE agents, and saturating official government communications with explicit white-nationalist appeals. Yet they also succeeded for a time in selling this agenda to Latinos as purely about law enforcement and public safety. This straddle was critical to sustaining notions of MAGA as a multiracial movement.
