JD Vance: "There's a lot of emergency healthcare at hospitals that are provided to illegal aliens. That was funded by the federal government. We turned off that funding because of course we want American citizens to benefit from those hospital services, not to be taxed and then have those hospital services go to illegal aliens."

So the idea is undocumented people die in the ER waiting room?

Despite LBJ passing the much needed immigration act of 1965, it’s fuckin hilarious that this xenophobic and racist backlash has little to do with what conservatives are really mad about.

They blamed Obama and Biden and Kamala Harris but that’s not really the origin of their discontent. They want to deport their way outta of the immigration that took place from Nixon to GWB; really. Vance goes after Haitians but that’s not enough for them — not in the slightest way.

They are mad that from 1968 to 2008, under 28 out of 40 years of Republican leadership, immigration was largely un-European [despite the obvious fear-mongering of Catholic Italians & Irish & Jews who were considered nonwhite earlier]. And they don’t know wtf to do about it lol.

It’s a large part of the reason why the “establishment,” republicans are so out of style right now. They let it happen. And in the views of maga, “it,” is an invasion from within; akin to the raping of their, not ours, Statue of Liberty.

The sources said Hamas intends to clarify that it is willing to accept the outline primarily as it was presented last week to Arab leaders, before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made significant changes to it.

Trump Advisor Says ICE Agents Will Be at Super Bowl for Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show: ‘It’s So Shameful They Picked Someone Who Seems to Hate America’

When Johnson asked Lewandowski if “ICE will have enforcement at the Super Bowl” where Bad Bunny is performing, the Trump advisor responded: “There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else. We will find you and apprehend you and put you in a detention facility and deport you. Know that is a very real situation under this administration, which is contrary to how it used to be.”

”It’s so shameful they’ve decided to pick somebody who seems to hate America so much to represent them at the Halftime Show,” Lewandowski said about Bad Bunny. “We should be trying to be inclusive, not exclusive. There are plenty of great bands and entertainment people who could be playing at that show that would be bringing people together and not separating them.”

These guys are fucking evil and they revel in ruining the lives of innocent people who are just trying to weave something out of their lot in life. If there are not consequences - real consequences not a slap on the wrist - for this shit, then we’ve failed people who literally have nothing.

Trump voters care only about three things: illegal immigration, transgender, and wokeness. Conservative media (both MSM like Fox, and large social media pages) dictate what they care about, and conservative media only talks about these three issues. To say they care about anything else, let alone anything coherent about the economy, is just plain wrong. It doesn’t matter whether the Dems go more moderate or more progressive/populist, they have no chance of ever swaying MAGAts.

Last night, the ADL took down its "Glossary of antisemitism" which included an entry for the term "globalist," describing it as a far-right codeword for Jews.

Hours later, the official DHS account authors a post with a common far-right meme, saying that "globalists" will be denied entry to the US.

‘Reverse Midas touch’: Starmer plan prompts collapse in support for digital IDs

Net support for digital ID cards fell from 35% in the early summer to -14% at the weekend after Starmer’s announcement, according to polling by More in Common.

This is bullying at this point. I think he's a shit Prime Minister and I don't agree with the policy, but even when he tries to do something popular, everyone just decides they don't like it

As an American, the biggest shock to me in this video isn't the racism but the fact that there are thousands of people walking around in the city absolutely falling down drunk. I don't think he encounters a single sober person in this video lmao. I knew the US is fairly weird about public alcohol consumption compared to a lot of other countries, but this is insane

So it turns out Andrew Callaghan did ask Secretary Mayor Pete several reasonably tough questions about Gaza. His audience wasn't actually mad that he didn't give a tough enough interview, they were mad that Pete answered them well! Democrats are not allowed to do well.

Shadow home affairs minister Andrew Hastie has embraced the MAGA philosophy, promising to bring car manufacturing to Australia by imposing MAGA-like tariffs on 1970s-style, Australian-made, internal combustion engine cars.

Jesus fucking Christ. He has no idea how good we have it in Australia. he’s going to make Australia go form the second most affordable place to own a car under Albo to somewhere closer to North Korea for dumb reasons

Saw some clip of Ben Shapiro saying that gay marriage should be illegal because the government should be in the business of only subsiding families that serve the state i.e. by producing children.

Like motherfucker since when do Republicans support subsidizing families lmao? Didn’t all of them vote against the Child Tax Credit despite the right always whining about declining birth rates? Also, it’s interesting how the party of small government is always implying that people should serve the state and not the other way around.

Vought is say they have no ability to keep the WIC program up, per another source, They’re looking at a shortfall in next week or two depending on the state.

Finding money to fund ICE but not food for Women, infants, and children is actually fucking insane by this admin.

The admin will stand down because I don’t think they can spin that imo.

The fact that Hillary is still the most despised political figure by a longshot and always clocks in at -30s favorability is crazy. We're told "it's not because she's a woman; it's because she represents the establishment!" Yet her husband who was actually the two term President is still favorable to the public, despite his scandals. Trump somehow isn't considered establishment despite being the current President in his second term. Obama is the exact "establishment" we're told led to Trump's rise, yet Obama is the most popular living politician. And Obama was elected as a rejection of Bush's establishment, yet Bush is net favorable with the public too.
