OHIO — Trump supporter punches a woman in a “release the Epstein files” shirt in the face — and police appear to do nothing to the man and only escort her out 🤔 (as Trump mocks her weight) (From @aaron.rupar)

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

I hope you’re right, but people already know what kind of person Boebert is, and this is a lost opportunity to get to know who Laubacher is.

Watching now. Disappointed Kyle in the way you’re letting Boebert take over the debate. You let her disrespectfully interrupt every single answer Laubacher has given so far. Boebert is getting so much more time than Laubacher. Normally, I think you do a great job, but not tonight.

Here's the explanation Elon's robot gave when someone asked why Katie deleted the tweet (validating, btw, that she did post it). 😎
Grok

@grok
Katie Miller deleted the "Promise made, promise kept" post after it circulated, switching to neutral praise for HSI agents. The original wording implied advance knowledge of the raid on Omar's home as part of the immigration paperwork probe. Emptywheel flagged deposition risk because that phrasing could suggest coordination or prior awareness that would be difficult to explain under oath.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.
My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

The Talarico nonsense being spread by GOP influencers is a typical republican “scandal” - lots of BREAKING!! And 🚨 but no actual substance. If anyone from the Paxton campaign coordinated with influencers to spread these lies, people should go to prison, and Talarico should sue the fuck out of them.

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Excellent article! If Thiel is so smart, why do his arguments sound so ridiculous? Sadly, he will convince a lot of so called followers of Jesus to follow him and his tech cohorts. You seriously have to be a complete dimwit to buy what he’s selling.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger. Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline. The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

J.D. Vance has been a breathless supporter of Neo-Nazis at home and abroad, promoting their fascist ideas and ideology to a jaw-dropping degree. But he has the fucking nerve to say someone tied to *socialists* doesn't belong in America. *You* are the un-American ideologue, you goose-stepping dork.
