Marco Rubio, a son of Cuban immigrants, “is fully on board with Trump sending troops in humvees and armored personnel carriers to the neighborhoods of communities in Miami and Hialeah to round up anyone who the deportation force thinks is undocumented.” 👇🏽 https://zacharymueller.substack.com/p/rubios-radicalization-from-citizenship?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1728374&post_id=144882875&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=cxpc&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

“‘This was not a campaign video, it was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the President was in court,’ Karoline Leavitt, the campaign press secretary, said in a statement.”

Why should anyone give liars the benefit of the doubt?

Conspiracy theorist Elise Stefanik, who has unapologetically echoed the same antisemitic “invasion” rhetoric as the Buffalo mass shooter, “doesn’t want anyone to remember her time criticizing Donald Trump. In fact, she’ll lose her mind if you try to bring it up.”

The Florida crash that resulted in the deaths of eight farmworkers harkens to the Baltimore bridge collapse, which killed six immigrant workers. These men were among millions of essential workers.

But they shouldn’t have to die to have their work honored. Their labor should be recognized every day. More at America’s Voice:

In 2022, these workers helped make Florida number one in the US in the value of production of bell peppers, sugarcane, tomatoes, and watermelons, just to name a few. Florida is also one of the top producers of all oranges. Their backbreaking and skilled labor sustains the agricultural industry and feeds the nation.

“Trump’s mass deportation plans: Why 2025 will be different,” writes former American Immigration Lawyers Association president David Leopold.

"The restraints held back the worst excesses that soiled the previous promises of mass deportation will no longer be in place.”

This wk marked two yrs since a gunman motivated by white nationalist and antisemitic “replacement” and “invasion” conspiracy theory murdered ten Black Americans in Buffalo.

Despite this death toll, this rhetoric has been fully adopted by the GOP. See our report: https://americasvoice.org/press_releases/on-two-year-anniversary-of-buffalo-white-nationalist-attack-on-black-americans-replacement-theory-has-only-gone-more-mainstream/

“At the highest level of leadership in the Republican Party, including the Speaker of the House and the Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, there is an aggressive use of talking points that is actively courting more racist political violence,” said America’s Voice Senior Research Director Zachary Mueller 👇🏽

In recent days, top Republicans have openly refused to pledge to respect the results of the upcoming election if it doesn't go their way.

Tim Scott, for example, was pressed three times on whether he’d accept the results – and refused to directly answer each time.

Virginia’s Jen Kiggans, meanwhile, is nodding along.👇🏽

The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post “largely failed to cover Trump’s plan to deport 11 million immigrants, among other extreme immigration policies, mentioning it in only 10% of all the articles Media Matters examined."
