  • Laura Loomer Called Five Black Women "Ghetto." Asked to Explain, She Said "I Spoke the Truth."

    A note on the file first. This roll call is about Republicans: officials, candidates, the party. Laura Loomer is none of those on paper. She's a far-right activist. She's here anyway, because Donald Trump has publicly praised her and met with her at the White House, and because a Republican member of Congress looked at what she wrote and said the party owns it. We'll take her word for it. Angie Nixon is a state …

  • Texas Won. Bo French Looked at the Student Section and Saw Foreigners.

    Some wins are big enough that the whole state gets to enjoy them. The Longhorns' upset of Ohio State was one of those. Kids in burnt orange, screaming in the stands, having the best Saturday of the semester. Bo French had a different reaction. French is the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, the office that regulates the state's oil and gas industry, on the ballot against Democratic state Rep. Jon Rosenthal of Houston. He …

  • "We Need Help": Mike Collins Asked Black Georgia for a Favor. Here Is the File.

    On Saturday, Georgia's Republican Senate nominee stood in East Point in front of about a hundred Black conservatives and asked for their votes. His party's own operatives put the target at 15 percent of the Black vote. This page has assembled the complete file that request has to survive: the death-flight joke, the antisemitic reply he refused to delete, the monkey-chant video he captioned approvingly, the chief of staff in a group chat with Nick …

  • Trump Endorsed a Navy Vet Named Amir. MAGA Would Like a Refund.

    This site spends most of its time documenting the movement's cruelty toward outsiders. Today, a rarer specimen for the collection: the machine turning on a man it was explicitly instructed to love. Donald Trump endorsed Amir Hassan for Michigan's 8th Congressional District on Truth Social, with the standard trumpets: "It is my Great Honor to endorse Amir Hassan," praise for his Navy service, his law enforcement career, the works. Let us review the candidate's résumé, …

  • Turning Point's Tyler Bowyer Asks a Republican Lawmaker if He Can "Speak English"

    Turning Point USA's Chief Operating Officer asked Arizona Republican Rep. Quang Nguyen, who fled Saigon at 12, whether he could speak English. Nguyen is a Republican. That's the part worth sitting with.

  • Elon Musk Posted About Race on 26 of 31 Days in January, Then Said He Can't Be Racist

    The Guardian counted 26 out of 31 days. The Washington Post counted roughly 850 posts. Musk's defense: his partner is half Indian. That is the whole defense.

  • 28,000 Messages: The Young Republicans Group Chat That Praised Hitler

    Politico obtained 28,000 messages from a private Telegram chat run by Young Republican leaders in four states. Gas chamber jokes, Hitler praise, Black people called "the watermelon people." The Vice President called it kids being kids.

  • "You Have Said the Actual Truth": The Richest Man Alive Endorses the Theory by Name

    On Wednesday, November 15, a user on X posted a version of the replacement thesis with the antisemitic engine fully exposed: that Jewish communities promote "dialectical hatred against whites" and back the importing of "hordes of minorities" who will eventually replace them, and that they should therefore expect to lose sympathy. Elon Musk, who owns the platform, replied to it. "You have said the actual truth." Consider what had to be true for those five …

  • The Number Three Republican in the House Ran the Ads. Then Buffalo Happened.

    Five days ago a gunman drove three hours to Buffalo's East Side and murdered ten people in a supermarket he chose by zip code, citing the Great Replacement by name in the document he left. In the days since, a great deal of American political energy has gone into establishing that nobody in public life had anything to do with the ideas in that document. So it is worth going back to August and September …

  • "Somebody Else's Babies": A Congressman Says the Quiet Part, in Twelve Words, on a Sunday

    On Sunday, March 12, Rep. Steve King of Iowa's 4th District posted approvingly about Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician whose party platform proposes closing mosques and banning the Quran. King's endorsement came with a thesis attached. "Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies." Read it twice, because the construction is doing more work than the vocabulary. There is an "our" that owns a civilization. …
