Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

We don't talk about the Claremont Institute nearly enough.
The Claremont Institute's been pro-dictator, anti-democracy for some time; in Trump they found their useful idiot.

Claremont was among the first conservative think-tanks to recognise the opportunity that Donald Trump presented. Its trajectory mirrors a broader shake-up on the right, where actual thinking is much unwantedThe Claremont Institute makes the Heritage Foundation look like the Center for Public Broadcasting. Claremont is fascist nutters all the way down.We don't talk about the Claremont Institute nearly as much as we should. So much of this 💩show was first voiced in the Claremont Review.

Aren’t the Greenland and Canada fixations part of the American sphere of influence project that so many folks associated with the Claremont Institute have? Just because they’re incompetent doesn’t mean there isn’t a strategic vision.This is what the Claremont Review does: it attempts to create a coherent world-view out of racism, misogyny, and homo-/transphobia, to normalize hate as a rational response.

📌NEWS: Pete Hegseth said that the Pentagon is eliminating 1 in 5 generals and admirals. 📌NOTE: Authoritarian regimes eliminate military leaders who they believe aren't loyal to the regime. 📌UPSHOT: This is a very concerning development in the GOP's ongoing attack on America and her Democracy.

"No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos." Hegseth's vision for the military always sounds like an old gay personals ad written by a fussy Bloomingdale's necktie salesman named Bryce.

I'm sorry, but this is wrong. The state that has the death penalty, the governor whose admin is pushing forward executions despite past issues, and the AG's office defending the efforts all came before today's 5-4 order. You can make the Supreme Court the enemy whenever you want, but facts matter.

Pete Hegseth’s “anti-woke” purges have nothing to do with strength. He fired highly qualified, decorated officers, who dedicated years to their country, simply because of their identity. He’s the unqualified one. I called this out on MS NOW last week. He said it out loud today.
