Crockett: "I need people of color to understand that the scheme of the Republicans has consistently been to make sure that they mute our voices. I fully anticipate that's where they are going with this map."

Emil Bove said under oath that he never ordered DOJ lawyers to blow off Judge Boasberg's order. That was a dodge. Erez Reuveni showed smoking gun proof that Bove ORDERED DHS to ignore Boasberg's order. www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/15/o...

ICE is now the largest law enforcement agency in the country. Democratic governors, mayors, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents: https://www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-police

"...get rid of electronic voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections." Again, they're doing everything they can to pre-determine the outcome of elections. Everything.

"Donald T**** was one of the most successful... if not THE most successful businessman of the 20th Century." - #DonTheCon's Trade Advisor Kevin Hasset. 🙄 #Gaslighting

(He went on to defend a steep 50% #tariff on #Brazil despite a Trade SURPLUS, citing #MafiaDon being upset over their treatment of their former #dictator #Bolsonaro.)

@MugsysRapSheet The guy who *might* have had a billion dollars at the time of his first election is more successful than the handful multibillionaires whose financial backing he begged for?

What's the definition of success exactly? And maybe a definition of "businessman" would help too?

I mean, just how insane is it for #Hasset... who is well aware of megabillionaires like Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg... trying to claim #MafiaDon might actually have been "THE most successful businessman of the 20th century"? #GMAFB #Gaslighting #TooStupidForPolitics
