This is what a decade of Trumpism has encouraged -- a GOP gubernatorial candidate in Colorado who's unsure of how many people he's killed but positive that his Jewish opponent is a tool of Satan. These people were in the tent before, but the rest of the party seemed embarrassed about them. No more!

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

Yesterday in Humboldt Park, ICE goons pulled weapons on teenage activists Ben and Sam Luhmann. Just a month prior one had shoved 16-year-old Sam to the ground for legally filming their activities in Joliet, IL. The courage of these brothers is unmatched.

A good example of why soldiers who are not police don't belong on the streets. National guard's members are trained in military combat, disaster recovery, emergency response, and rescue operations.

Looks like the poster boys for Profiles in Discourage have cemented their places in history alongside Bill Cassidy (RFK Jr) and Susan Collins (Brett Kavanaugh) for having contrived the most obvious BS excuse to vote for nominees who all of them knew had no business filling their respective roles.

AP headline:
Todd Blanch’s nomination for Attorney General clears critical hurdle after deal with GOP holdouts.

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files. Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why. We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.
