I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Republican voters in Kentucky who presumably spent much of 2024 banging on about Epstein just ejected from Congress their own Republican congressman, who helped get the Epstein files out, in order to please the close friend of Epstein, Donald Trump.

The US-Israeli plan for regime change in Iran at the start of this war was apparently to replace Khamenei with… Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! The most insane-sounding story you will read today:

BREAKING: Thomas Massie Loses Primary in Big Win for Trump and AIPAC

“First Draft: Islamophobes Can't Shut Up Even as Muslims Are Murdered at a California Mosque” 3 people were shot dead at the Islamic Center of San Diego, amid rising GOP anti-Muslim invective that has been left largely unchecked by the mainstream media.

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*
