New in PN: The fascist spectacle of streamed executions "Hegseth & Trump are embracing a livestreamed execution bc the America they prefer is one in which vaunting hate & communal violence are the norm. That isn’t a new vision. But it’s one we need to defeat this November, & every day after that."

The fascist spectacle of streamed executions
It’s a sign of a deeply sick society.

Public executions create perverse incentives for jackals like Hegseth to target individuals for spectacular acts of violence in the name of self-aggrandizement and polling boosts. The latest in @atrupar.com's PN by @nberlat.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

NEW: Once he became president, Trump waged a multi-year war against Marc Elias and others who worked for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Now, the battleground is moving to SCOTUS where Trump is trying to salvage the case because he never gives up — but neither does Marc.

Trump hates me personally. Now he’s taking it to the Supreme Court
When I tell people that Donald Trump hates me, they often assume I mean it in a generic sense — that he hates Democrats and people who fight him in court. No, I correct them: he hates me personally.

“our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians.” If the U.S. military forces suffered those kind of damages under a Democratic admin, Congress would impeach the Defense Secretary and lot more.

I'm grateful for the heroic work of law enforcement that prevented a mass shooting and terrorist attack at the Mall of America. This shows why we continue to need major coordinated investments in anti-terrorism and local law enforcement to stop attacks like these.

Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.

GOP leader claims ground beef prices are ‘less than $2 a pound,’ despite reality
Politicians can get away with all kinds of dishonesty, but asking voters not to believe their own wallets is a losing proposition.

Lots of coverage of Trump on renaming New Mexico, New America. But people are too polite to point out Trump has no interest in renaming New England or New Hampshire or New Jersey or New York. It's Mexico and Mexicans and Latinos he wants to taunt. It's childish idiocy, but it's also a dog whistle.
