All this exposes MAGA’s real position: Mass deportations must be carried out *even if* they hurt the economy. They should be prioritized *over* economic concerns. The goal is not primarily economic: It’s about ethnically purging the country. newrepublic.com/article/2138...

MAGA is raging at DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin for discussing immigration reform. But the real reason MAGA is so furious is he admitted immigration can be managed in a way that benefits our country. This is absolutely lethal to white nationalist ideology. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

MAGA Erupts at Trump DHS Chief—and Accidentally Exposes Big MAGA Scam

Markwayne Mullin just said the unsayable: That immigration can sometimes help the economy and the country. Now MAGA wants his head.

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

Get in, there’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post. This time, a network targeting people in Michigan. First paid to post about how hard it is to afford groceries and gas, the accounts have gone hard in recent days, supporting Haley Stevens. www.ms.now/news/haley-s...

That's why I concentrated this article on weaponized incompetence. ICE is being built by Stephen Miller and Markwayne Mullin in the image of the SS. Their goals are genocidal, in the sense that they see non-white people as a scourge to be purged, not as people. www.salon.com/2026/07/13/n...

fwiw, I'm going to donate to Jackson now; not a bad idea to do that right now if you want the story to be about Ds in array.

Not that we didn't know this already but having ICE - whose jurisdiction has absolutely NOTHING to do with elections - investigate voter fraud gives away the game. ICE is no longer a legal entity bound by laws and norms, it's Trump's personal force, focusing on whatever he wants.

404 Media@404media.co · 3w ago

NEW: DHS plans to pay Thomson Reuters $125 million for access to its databases which includes peoples’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, ethnicity, social media posts, and geolocation information — to help ICE investigate “voter fraud”, according to documents reviewed by 404 Media.

Donald Trump, a man whose approval rating is 22 points under water, is going to give a speech tonight the premise of which is that he could not possibly have lost an election.

Sure, it's a dystopian hellscape, but on the upside, you don't have to look at Trump's fleabag hotel (or any of Chicago's skyline) thanks to all the smoke, so, yay?

They don’t care about fertility any more than they cared about women’s sports. They want to own women and children as property. The only real fascist goal is domination. They have no other. The rest is just whatever lie they’re currently telling to disguise that fact.

Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · 3w ago

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

NEW: A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.

The background to her statement was that Trump said he would replace federal income taxes with tariffs. It was never going to happen, but because right wing media dwarfs left wing media, Trump's ludicrous promise sounded plausible. There's no way out of this without billions spent on media.

Just start calling ICE officers “Donald Trump’s death squads.” Don’t ever make what they’re doing sound legit. “When they’re not killing, Trump’s death squads are rounding up people to be sent to his concentration camps where his camp guards will torture them.” That’s not even exaggerating.
