A first look at the response from the hard core MAGA forums is at the MAGAReport and I'll be adding more tomorrow magareport.news/p/white-hous...

I am a member of the WHCA but wasn't at the dinner tonight. Instead, I'm checking in on the response from the MAGA forums. They are angry and, even with no real information on what happened, the rhetoric is white hot:

Johnny Young was a self-described incel who went viral for posting videos of himself sexually harassing women and pepper spraying them when they resisted. I wrote about his story and the violence lurking in incel communities for @esquire www.esquire.com/news-politic...

esquire.com

He Filmed Women as He Harassed Them. Incels Made Him Their Hero.

In the dark corners of the Internet, a growing number of angry men fantasize about violence against women. Johnny Young went viral for turning his twisted vision into reality.

It's unclear if it's even necessary for visa holders to return today nor if this will have an impact, but it's an interesting look at what happens with far-right trolling manifests offline. More on this & all things MAGA in my (free) MAGAReport magareport.news/p/4chan-trie...

4Chan tries to block Indians from returning to the US - MAGAReport 9/20/25

4Chan and MAGA are trying to book up the flights to H1-B visa holders cannot return, calling it "Operation CLOG THE TOILET"

1351

Their goal is to hold as many plane tickets as possible from India to the US today to prevent H1-B visa holders who are out of the country from returning. They aren't buying the tickets - they are going to airline websites, searching for seats triggering a 15-minute hold, blocking other bookings

1262

The project, dubbed “Operation CLOG THE TOILET" began on 4Chan’s /pol board, a mostly unmoderated discussion board that is known for its racist, far-right, white supremacist, and otherwise unsavory content. It was picked up on patriots dot win, a hard core MAGA board.

Indians are just waking up after Trump nuked the H1B program. Want to keep them in India? Clog the flight reservation systems!
https://www.google.com/travel/flights

The setup:
>Jeets have <24 hours to re-enter the US, otherwise must pay $100k H1B fee
>Tens of thousands of Jeets abroad are now scrambling to get last-second flights back to the US.
>The solution? Operation CLOG THE TOILET
The plan:
>Go on Google Flights, search common India-US flights (e.g. Mumbai to San Francisco)
>Initiate the checkout process.
>Most airlines will hold your tickets for 15 minutes during the checkout, thus locking out Jeets
>Don't checkout. Leave window open for full 15 minutes
>Repeat
tl;dr Open common India-US flights, initiate checkout holds, repeat.

If enough autists do this, the whole flight reservation system will get clogged and H1B Jeets will be stuck in India.

On Friday, Trump signed a proclamation raising fees for H1B visas to $100K. It takes effect tomorrow. H1B workers who are out of the country have been told to return to the US immediately lest they be denied entry. 4Chan & MAGA is trying to block them🧵 magareport.news/p/4chan-trie...

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

Trump's idea to ban trans people from owning guns tests the MAGA faithful who have been 2nd amendment absolutists but who also hate trans people. Today, we learned that humiliating trans people is more important. 2A be damned! Today's MAGAReport: magareport.news/p/maga-finds...

Banning trans people from owning guns seems like a fine idea

Today's MAGAReport is about how the hard core MAGAs are so so mad about tweets like this from Gov. Newsom's office open.substack.com/pub/jengolbe...

TRUMP JUST FLED THE PODIUM WITH PUTIN — NO QUESTIONS, NOTHING! TOTAL LOW ENERGY. THE MAN LOOKED LIKE HE’D JUST EATEN 3 BUCKETS OF KFC WITH VLAD. IS HE AFRAID THE PRESS WILL ASK ABOUT ME??? (AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR) AND THE FACT I "STOLE THE CAMERAS" THIS WEEK WITH “THE MAPS”? MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING HE BEGGED PUTIN TO HOLD HIS HANDS (TINY) ON THE WAY OUT. ADMIT IT, DONNIE J… YOU’RE TERRIFIED BECAUSE THIS WAS THE WORST WEEK OF YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM. “THE MAPS” WILL END YOUR PRESIDENCY, RETAKE CONGRESS FOR THE PEOPLE, AND EXPOSE YOUR RIGGED "LITTLE GAME." MY "PERFECT MAPS" ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANYTHING IN TRUMP TOWER (WHICH MANY SAY SMELLS WEIRD). @STEVENCHUENG47 — EXPLAIN THIS DISASTER!!! ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT HOME, DONALD — YOU’RE PUTIN’S PROBLEM NOW. I’M AMERICA’S SOLUTION. — GCN

Apropos, jury trial in SF kicks off tomorrow against Flo Health (and Meta) for sharing this type of data with advertisers.

MAGA is not buying Trump's line that Dems are creating a "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax". I wrote about the MAGA take in today's MAGA report magareport.news/p/they-think...

It's such a textbook exercise in resolving cognitive dissonance that I'm collecting data to write a paper about it. Anyway, subscribe to the MAGAReport (for free!) if you want more updates on insider MAGA goings-on magareport.news

It's a brilliant solution to the current conundrum. No one has to reject the Epstein conspiracy theory; they can instead believe the conspiracy goes even deeper and their known enemies are behind it (and also they can give Trump a pass)

Jen Golbeck @jengolbeck.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

In the last 24 hours, a new Epstein narrative has taken hold in the MAGA forums: since the Biden FBI had the files, they probably corrupted them, deleting Dems and adding Trump, so they can't be trusted. magareport.news/p/the-new-ma...

I am SO PROUD of my friend @gwenfilosamedia.bsky.social, a 2x Pulitzer Prize winning journalist in Key West She broke the news of Key West PD's partnership with ICE that led directly to last night's meeting where the city commission voided the 287(g) agreement gwenfilosa.substack.com/p/key-west-c...
