i dont think people deluded themselves really…they were told by republicans that “mass deportation” was criminals and the media didnt fact check and democrats moved right on the issue there was no alternative offered to mass deportation, no one even argued against it

Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."

It's kind of crazy that the Natalie Harp news cycle raised some extremely valid questions about the extent of her influence on our octogenarian narcoleptic, none were answered and the press just stopped wondering.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

If the Democrats retake Congress this cycle they're going to be asked to bail out farmers to slow the damage this regime is doing and it will: 1. reward people that voted for this mess 2. likely be necessary regardless of what we want 3. result in people punishing Democrats for it in 2028.

This is the problem with a political party that relies on lying - and media not calling out that lying. The federal government's proclamations are a hall of mirrors. Watch what they do, not what they say.
