Ossoff: "Then there's the ex-staffer posting swastikas and Klan regalia. And the neo-Nazi with a million followers who produces neo-Nazi propaganda at Collins's house ... a man who won't take responsibility for what happens under his own roof can't be trusted with our national affairs."

We can't create a permission structure for the targeting of Jews due to the actions of Israel - which is antisemitic - and there can be no place for rhetoric normalizing violence in our politics. All Democrats should separate themselves from Piker. He's a gift to Republicans.

Once again, Donald Trump questions the loyalty of more than 70% of Jewish Americans who rejected him in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and are preparing to reject him & hold his GOP enablers accountable in November. We're not buying his depraved bullshit, including on Iran.

Horrified by the attack on Temple Israel, the 2nd U.S. synagogue targeted by antisemitic violence this year. My heart is with the Detroit Jewish community & the 140 families whose small children were at Temple Israel. Grateful for security. No one should live or pray in fear.

Last year, Musk urged the far-right AfD Party to "move beyond past guilt" (i.e. Nazism) & Vance encouraged AfD's acceptance at Munich. This year, AfD was invited to Munich & Rubio's message to allies was not to be "shackled by guilt and shame." It appears this WH is using neo-Nazi talking points.

So to recap, the Coast Guard downgraded swastikas & nooses from "hate symbols" to "potentially divisive." Once public, they vowed to reverse course, but failed to do so. Now, they're vowing (again) to reverse course. At this point, does it matter? They already indicated tolerance of hate symbols.

Fascinating: The Trump administration claims that the answer to offensive speech is “more speech” when the offensive speech comes from Tucker or Musk — but when it’s on college campuses, the administration’s answer is to attack civil liberties, due process, and academic freedom. 🤔
In a speech Tuesday, Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s civil rights chief, defended Tucker Carlson’s hosting of white nationalist Nick Fuentes. She said the answer to offensive speech is “more speech,” and praised Elon Musk for removing guardrails on X, despite studies showing a rise in antisemitic content since the billionaire took ownership.
