Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

These facts are VERY similar to the case of Mohamed Jama in MN. They were looking for a 5'5" guy and snatched Jama, who is 6'5" (his lawyer did a big Perry Mason moment to have him stand in the court room). These rulings may help the victims sue.

I think the framing of this -- the polarization is not the problem -- is counterproductive, but it is a good read. Reason I say it is counterproductive is that Trump has used polarization to get normie Republicans to vote w/30% of rabid racists. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Across Western democracies, the average social attitudes of voters
in political parties across the spectrum have been changing along with
the framework of expanding political rights.25 Far-right parties all over
the world are working to undo that progress, and in places where they
succeed, partisan animosity increases.26 To restore a functioning and
pluralistic democracy in the United States, reversing over a decade of
democratic backsliding in the world’s oldest democracy, the thing to
“fix” is not polarization. Polarization is the country’s immune response
to an unpopular, antidemocratic, and intentionally divisive faction grabbing for disproportionate power to the detriment of national success,
reputation, and democratic self-government. Tamping down that immune response only allows this minority faction to have greater control.

If we're going to denaturalize and deport people for sex trafficking they hid on their citizenship applications, is there a reason this would not apply to Ghislaine Maxwell?

CHILD SEX ABUSER’S CITIZENSHIP REVOKED AFTER NATURALIZATION FRAUD CONVICTION

Cyril Domaquik Clemens, a Liberian native, was convicted of three counts of indecent liberties with a child after confessing to sexually molesting a young child.

The abuse began before he naturalized, but he concealed it during the citizenship process, fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.

An interesting paper given that Judge Perry just named Baude as amicus in the Broadview 6 case to write what I fully expect to be an argument about whether judges are helpless when DOJ breaks the law.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

During impeachment, the following happened: 1) Rudy visited known Russian spy Andrii Derkach 2) Bill Barr got copy of Hunter Biden's laptop 3) DOJ dropped Burisma corruption investigation started in 2016 4) Bill Barr set up a side channel to ingest Rudy's RU dirt Impeachment slowed none of that.

A south Florida political journalist explains why GOPers are beginning to worry that Angie Nixon can beat Ashley Moody.

And like Alex Vindman, Moody is proving to be a terrible campaigner.
Moody runs and hides from the press and her campaign for the Senate is calling her opponent "Socialist Angie" over and over again. With gas prices high, the economy weak, an unpopular war, is that enough?

Talking to Republican consultants, they are worried about the Senate race in Florida. They still think Ashley Moody will win, but their confidence has waned in recent weeks. Moody does not generate any excitement and Vance's recent comments only energize the opposition.

@DeFede
As Republicans demonize
@AngieNixon
, and JD Vance tells her "you don't belong in America," they run the risk of having it backfire. Nixon can be a compelling figure. Here she is getting emotional when I asked her to tell voters something personal about herself.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
