President Donald Trump has blamed the recent attacks on the โ€œgeneticsโ€ of the suspects.

โ€œTheyโ€™re sick people, and a lot of them were let in here. They shouldnโ€™t have been let in. Others are just bad. They go bad. Something wrong. Thereโ€™s something wrong there. The genetics are not exactlyโ€” theyโ€™re not exactly your genetic," Trump said in an interview with Brian Kilmeade that aired Friday on Fox Radio.

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who had already faced backlash for an anti-Muslim post last month, wrote on X Thursday: โ€œWe need more Islamophobia, not less. Fear of Islam is rational.โ€

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a series of posts on Thursday that no country is โ€œfreer and safer because Muslims moved there,โ€ and he called โ€œimmigrationโ€ a โ€œnational security threat.โ€ Earlier this week, he wrote that โ€œMuslims donโ€™t belong in American society.โ€

Also on Thursday, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, called for โ€œNo more Muslims immigrating to America."

And Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., shared a post featuring a side-by-side photo of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is Muslim.

Is NBC really the only major news outlet covering this overtly anti-Muslim (and eugenicist) rhetoric from Trump and his Congressional cronies?

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

In California, ballots are mailed to all registered voters.
In 10 years, with over 1 billion votes cast, 31 incidents reported. Most are irregularities, administrative errors not necessarily fraud.
Heritage Foundation database lists 1 documented case fraud of absentee ballots in 40 years.

Quite frankly, if you aren't directing your economic and intelligence agencies to do anti-Republican election interference, you're an idiot.

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

Right: Why might the videos cause reputational damage?

Do we, the public, not deserve to hear exactly what was done with our data, money, our science? Why does their incompetence or lack of care deserve anonymity?

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose โ€˜targetsโ€™

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

We're seeing corporate, right-leaning media consolidation bend the knee to Trump. Americans must find independent, trustworthy, news sources.
