Screencap of Twitter/X video. The last time we checked in on Chris Matthews, he was complaining about the DSA takeover of the Democrat Party. Now he is complaining about Republicans and the midterms. According to Matthews, the GOP is going to get very ‘nasty’ in the weeks before the midterms and paint all Democrats as socialists. But haven’t Democrats done that to themselves? Matthews also tries to go to bat for AOC here, claiming she is as American as apple pie. OK, Chris. Whatever you say.

On Thursday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “The Hill,” Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) said that people in the country illegally who commit crimes should be deported after serving their sentences, but “what the administration is trying to do is now that we’re coming up on the midterms, is they’re trying to gain their footing back on immigration because they’re seeing that people are responding to what ICE is doing in Virginia.” In response to criticism of Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin over an ICE detainer for a suspected killer in Virginia, Subramanyam said, “Well, first of all,…

Screencap of YouTube video. Vice President JD Vance visited the Ohio steel plant where his own grandfather worked this week and used part of the visit to outline the accomplishments of the Trump administration, especially with regards to immigration and jobs. At one point, Vance retold the story of a child predator who Minnesota Governor Tim Walz tried to rescue from deportation by giving him a pardon.
