Walz: "What's the plan Donald Trump? What do we need to do to get these federal agents out of our state? You thought fear, violence, and chaos is what you wanted, and you clearly underestimated the people of this state and nation. We're tired but we're solved. We're peaceful but we'll never forget"

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

We're a big Neil Young family, always in heavy rotation, and boy Ohio hitting different this morning. But also a reminder that we've been here, or at least here-adjacent before.

No one should get any cookies for standing up to Trump in private. Speak up now or forever go down in history as an enabler.

The comments to donors last year are some of the harshest criticisms of Trump and Vance by a fellow Republican.

the fact that the NRA is offering even this incredibly mild level of resistance is significant.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny

also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

“Preschooler’s detention marks fourth for district.”

Total abolition of ICE and the entirety of the War on Terror apparatus that led to this point. Or there will be many, many more.
