  • Georgetown College Republicans Hosted Marc Bernhard. Then Defended the Invitation.

    Healy Hall on Georgetown University’s campus.

    Georgetown College Republicans hosted German AfD lawmaker Marc Bernhard on October 19. The Forward obtained recordings, including his claim that the Holocaust is: “used as a weapon against Germany.” Apparently the difficult part of discussing the Holocaust is how inconvenient the discussion has become for a German politician. Quite a thing to bring to an American Republican club. On migration, his explanation was sweeping: “Always, where you see problems it’s with Muslims.” There it is. …

  • Trump Uses ‘Shylock’ Again, This Time to Defend Roger Marshall.

    Official 2017 White House portrait of President Donald Trump.

    Donald Trump was defending Republican Sen. Roger Marshall at an October 19 rally in Park City, Kansas, when he reached for a familiar term. Critics, he complained, had made Marshall sound like a predatory debt collector. The transcript records his description: “And they made it like, oh, he was some kind of a Shylock-type guy.” This was the character reference. Imagine what the attack ad would have sounded like. Trump was answering criticism of Marshall's …

  • Joe Suhrada Says He'll Quit as GOP Chair and Keep the Election Job.

    Editorial cartoon of two chairs labelled Party Chair and Elections Commissioner, with Resign and Stay arrows under The Plan.

    Joe Suhrada announced on October 21 that he would step down as chair of the Saratoga County Republican Committee after a recording surfaced of him using an anti-Black slur and a homophobic slur. He said he would remain the county's Republican elections commissioner. WAMC reported the announcement and his response. One job becomes a distraction. The other, which involves the public's elections, apparently remains a perfectly comfortable fit. I would like someone to explain that …

  • Trump's Agencies Tell Schools Which Civil-Rights Guidance They're Done Using.

    Pen-and-ink editorial cartoon: a bureaucrat uses an eraser labeled U.S. Dept. of Education to wipe a chalkboard chart titled Suspensions by Race, beside a tied stack of papers labeled Desegregation Orders stamped Case Closed.

    The Justice and Education departments published an October 23 notice saying they will no longer rely on seven joint guidance documents in civil-rights enforcement. English learners and racial discrimination in school discipline are among the subjects. The official label is a clarification. I appreciate the stationery. You can get quite a lot done to a civil-rights program under a heading that sounds like somebody fixed a typo. The list spans documents issued from 2015 through …

  • Federal Agents Searched Ilhan Omar's Home. Trump Found a Rally Line.

    Official 116th Congress portrait of Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a naturalized citizen born in Mogadishu, Somalia.

    Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington home on October 12 as part of a criminal investigation involving immigration paperwork. That night, Donald Trump used his Youngstown, Ohio, rally to complain about the Somali-born Minnesota Democrat invoking her rights. ABC News reported his words: “And she comes into our country, and she says, 'I have a constitutional right.'” Yes, Donald. She does. What a deeply inconvenient feature of the country you run. Omar became a …

  • Trump Calls El-Sayed ‘Mohammad’ and Invokes His Presidential Naming Privileges.

    Official 2017 White House portrait of President Donald Trump.

    Donald Trump went to Dalton, Georgia, on October 16 and explained why he keeps calling Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed Mohammad. His defense, captured in a C-SPAN clip reproduced by the Daily Caller, was a little lesson in presidential authority: “I’m the president of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want.” Well, that settles the health care debate. The man has naming privileges. During the same rally at Dalton …

  • Bo French Wanted Public Executions. Now He Wants a Texas Statewide Office.

    Republicans Are Racists -- and they're not shy about it

    Bo French, the Republican nominee for Texas railroad commissioner, repeatedly called for public executions in older social media posts uncovered by CNN's September 28 KFile investigation. One February 18, 2025 post, responding to discussion of DOGE, put the demand plainly: "I want more than perp walks. I want public executions." CNN also documented May 2020 posts invoking death for people French called Obama conspirators, including a reference to a former president. The reporting describes a …

  • Chandler Langevin's Heritage Politics Already Has a Seat in Palm Bay.

    Republicans Are Racists -- and they're not shy about it

    Palm Bay Councilmember Chandler Langevin is executive director of the American Restoration Coalition, a Florida Republican organizing group whose links to white nationalist networks were detailed in Jordan Green's September 30 Raw Story investigation. The group's strategy includes winning positions on local boards. This is a story about access to government, not merely ugly talk on the internet. Green reports that ARC members promoted Patriot Front and that Palm Bay Planning and Zoning Board member …

  • Matt Walsh's Problem With the Welfare Ad: The Moocher Was White.

    Republicans Are Racists -- and they're not shy about it

    Matt Walsh objected to Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders's welfare advertisement because its supposedly lazy recipient was a young white man named Brad. In his September 28 post, the conservative commentator suggested the villain should instead be a character called Shaniqua. He was not leaving the racial meaning to our imagination. Walsh wrote: "Republicans don't have the balls to do this ad with 'Shaniqua' as the villain." He argued in the same post that Black …

  • Trump Told Minnesota to Fight Back Against Somali Immigrants.

    Official 2017 White House portrait of President Donald Trump.

    President Donald Trump told Minnesotans to fight back against Somali immigrants in an October 8 Truth Social post. He described Minnesota as being taken over by that community, blamed it for statewide disorder and offered federal help. This was the president speaking to the public, not an anonymous account getting carried away in the replies. Here is the instruction in his own words: "The people of Minnesota must fight back." The post ends by demanding …
