Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post.

      Apparently there was enough evidence for a democrat judge to approve a search warrant.

      And keep in mind that that judge most likely gave that search warrant request an enormous amount of scrutiny simply because it was a sitting member of Congress.

        She’s a progressive Democrat whose against Israel’s genocide. They’re likely not on the same team despite sharing a party name.

        Evidence based on immigration filings from decades ago…

        It doesn’t matter what judge they found, it’s still a fishing expedition that should have never been allowed.

        Don’t play team sports with people’s lives in service of fascism.

          You’re talking to a troll who exclusively reads the NY Post.

          They’re 100% on board for fascism.

            No. That would be the CENTRISTS who play nice with fascists. Anyone can do a simple search for how the DNC hates and sabotages DSA candidates

            🔍 Investigating DSA campaign interference The search results show a range of actions by Democratic establishment figures, from public rhetoric to concrete opposition efforts. Whether these rise to “deliberate sabotage” depends on where you draw the line, but here are the most concrete instances:

            Funding and opposition research

            Third Way, a centrist Democratic think tank, launched a $15 million campaign through 2028 to counter DSA influence, including opposition research, digital advertising, polling, and outreach to Democratic activists and party leaders. They called the DSA a “mortal danger” to the party. Primary opposition

            Chuck Schumer backed Abdul El-Sayed’s more moderate opponent in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, though a Schumer-aligned super PAC later committed millions to El-Sayed’s general election campaign. Michigan Democrat Hines refused to endorse two DSA-affiliated House candidates in her state. CBCPAC (the Congressional Black Caucus PAC) launched what DSA-aligned figures described as a “disingenuous smear campaign” against William Lawrence, a DSA-endorsed candidate in Michigan’s 7th District, alleging the DSA is “flush with white supremacy.” Public calls to exclude DSA members

            Jaime Harrison, former DNC chair: “If you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure.” James Carville suggested House Democrats “should not seat” DSA-aligned winner Darializa Avila Chevalier in the caucus and called for a party “schism.” Rahm Emanuel called the DSA a “Tea Party / Freedom Caucus moment” and said the party coalition “doesn’t include room for people who believe America is a country wrong at every level.” Reps. Suozzi and Gray released an open letter declaring “We are capitalist, not socialist.” What DSA-aligned figures say

            DSA co-chair Megan Romer and others frame these as the establishment “quashing” a legitimate electoral insurgency, arguing it’s “undemocratic and hypocritical for Democrats to intervene in their own primaries.” The DSA’s New York chapter noted after its June sweep that “the millionaires who tried to stop our movement” failed.

            The most defensible characterization of “sabotage” is the Third Way $15M effort and the CBCPAC smear campaign, as these involved active spending and organized opposition rather than just public criticism. The rest falls more into political opposition and rhetoric, which is standard in primary contests, even if the intensity is notable
