The folks who keep insisting that every state shld have open/concealed carry are appalled and excusing this shooting by saying that the guy had gun. There's no evidence as of now that he drew it or used it but just the idea that he had one is enough for the pro-ICE people

There's no way to verify that someone who won't show their face or ID works for the government. It's OK to resist violent kidnapping by strangers.

ICE 👏 must 👏 murder 👏 more 👏 responsibly
Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

Did it fail, though?
And it’s 5 years & 1 day since Trump staged a failed coup
The Trump regime’s internal security enforcers murdered an American citizen in broad daylight.
The regime is illegally blocking the release of evidence of Trump’s extensive collaboration with Epstein. They’re agitating for war with France and Germany.
It’s completely insane anyone supports them.

Today's MAGAs are truly living in another universe. They think that because the crimes of the fake electors were committed for federal elections, Trump has the legal right to pardon them - even tho they were charged in state courts. (and they think they're patriots) smdh

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.
