It's a straight up 24/7 Klan rally on X now.
A tweet by Shaun Maguire (@shaunmmaguire) reads: “Mamdani comes from a culture that lies about everything. It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda. The West will learn this lesson the hard way.” Below the tweet is a screenshot of a table displaying the name “Mamdani, Zohran Kwame” and an “Ethnic_Group_Description” field labeled “BLACK NON-HISPANIC.” The tweet implies that Mamdani falsely identified his ethnicity, suggesting dishonesty aligned with an alleged Islamist agenda. The tweet was posted at 10:00 AM on July 4, 2025, and has 1.3 million views.

The tweet says, “A female body doesn’t look like that!” The photo has been edited to give Perry an exaggeratedly muscular, male-like torso with defined abs and a flat chest, creating an uncanny and unrealistic appearance.

Today, Media Matters 
is filing a lawsuit against Trump’s FTC to protect its First Amendment rights.

Media Matters for America filed suit today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block an investigation launched by the Federal Trade Commission. The investigation is the latest effort by Elon Musk and his allies in the Trump administration to retaliate against Media Matters for its reporting. 

The FTC investigation mirrors similar probes by Republican state attorneys general that federal courts have already taken steps to block. A federal appeals court wrote in May that “Media Matters is the target of a government campaign of retaliation."

The GAO report on which this is based was published in 2021. The (at least) 70 citizens were deported between 2015 and 2020. We don't know how many citizens have been deported this year, but the key point in that GAO report is that neither does ICE.
