Do I have this right?

Voters elected Republicans to run the country. Now that they are running the country voters are angry that the Democrats can’t do something to stop the Republicans we voted for from doing what voters wanted them to do?

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

No more turning away

I fall between fury and laughter when I see the nonstop “mErRiCk gArLaNd fUcKeD uS” narrative.
People who voted for Biden in 2020 decided Harris wasn’t worthy of their vote.
Child rapist, treasonous, fraudster Trump could have been held to account, but we scapegoated Garland for our culpability.

Whether it's a low-level Biden staffer asking Facebook to correct some COVID misinformation or Donald Trump's right-hand man telling CBS to kill segment about ICE sending people to torture prisons, both sides have sought to limit free expression.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.
