I can't be the only person who had no idea that #MattGaetz created an official "El Salvador Caucus" in the U.S. Congress last year and it just so happens to be full of most of that body's biggest cranks (#LaurenBoebert, #MikeLee, #NancyMace, #TimBurchett) and most corrupt reps (#AndyOgles, who made some “interesting” campaign finance moves at the crypto industry’s favorite bank that he and George Santos chose to hold their campaign money).

Feels like kind of a lot of congressional time spent nurturing America's relationship with a country whose GDP rivals that of Des Moines, Iowa.

[UPDATE] dear lord the El Salvador Caucus has an (extremely active) Twitter account: x.com/SAL_Caucus

I don't know if the #Republicans understand how strong China's propaganda is. Their economy may be failing, and military not as advanced, human rights lagging, but Propaganda is the ENTIRE name of the game in China. Their people think they are #1 in everything…. Just like #MAGA thinks the US is.

I think the most harrowing thing about all this - seeing it from a distance, through a glowing screen - is seeing #JakeBroe just absolutely lose it.

To see your country's democracy dropped off of a cliff is probably not the best feeling in the world, I'm guessing.

The party that is the #republicans will be known as one of history's greatest betrayers, right up there with Judas.

"In a stark recasting of Orwell’s original insight, in 2024 it was not Trump and his MAGA allies who cloaked their intentions in euphemism and ambiguity. Instead, it was mainstream media, pollsters, and political consultants who retreated into vagueness—minimizing or outright ignoring Trump's explicit threats in an effort to avoid accusations of bias, partisanship, or alarmism."

Republicans in Congress are not fighting for the rights of the co-equal branches of government. They’re not fighting for the rights of the people through elected representatives in Congress, and they’re not fighting to protect an independent judiciary. Instead they are fighting will full-throated support for consolidated power for Trump.

They’re not hostages; they support Trump’s fascism.

"The reason I think we're at the numbers we're at is because this movement has been building a very long time. And one of the things that we need to do when we reclaim America and an America for everybody is to push these people back under the rock they came from. Because that's really where this kind of mentality should be in a healthy society. They'll always be there, but they shouldn't be running everything."

"There is the idea of othering and ... you can see the way the administration began these flights with individuals that they believed they had constructed this image of them as these terrible human beings. Again, although 90% of them do not have criminal records, but they could do it. They had brown skin."

"They’re painted not as people, but as animals. As monsters. As rapists. As the scourge of American society. The messaging isn’t accidental. It is the exact kind of dehumanization that makes cruelty palatable, even desirable. ...

This is the playbook. This has always been the playbook. Turn the masses against the vulnerable. Make cruelty the point. Then repeat the lie until the truth chokes on its own breath."

"Reminiscent of Hitler’s grotesque propaganda, where Jews were cast as vermin, stripped of their humanity so that no one would care when they were disappeared, the Trump apparatus is manufacturing the same cruelty, recast for modern America. The new 'vermin' are the immigrants. The undocumented. The vulnerable. The desperate."

" “It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process.”

That sentence should chill every American to their core."
