People just going out here saying the literal opposite of what happened. Thune caved! Thune did! This is a cave by Thune and Senate Republicans, any possible way you cut it.

If you need any more evidence why you should absolutely not be following Wajahat Ali, this should be all it takes. Right?

RIGHT?

If you're following this dude, you're gonna unfollow him for this utter lie, this bullshit, right? You realize he's not helping, right?

One of the worst things about the permanent damage Trump has done to US politics is that it's now assumed that he represents the default way to wield power. Biden was hands off with the DoJ. DoJ probably got a tip and investigated it, as they should. Insufficient evidence was found, so it ended.
Holy shit. The Biden DOJ investigated Ilhan Omar???

This is exactly what people claim they want him to be doing and saying, so where are the hundreds of replies and quote posts showing support?
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said Democrats will support the other 5 appropriations bills, but need substantive changes to the 6th. “Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled legislatively, the DHS funding bill doesn't have the votes to pass," Schumer said Wednesday.

Again, the thing about all of this is that there are exactly <zero> legislative fixes for any of this. Our terrible, deeply broken, horribly designed presidential system was a grave mistake, but the Founders were very clear that there was a mechanism that was supposed to be used in these cases:

🧵👇
👇🎯💯 This is the inescapable conclusion that <everyone> in 🇺🇸 politics & the entire national media cannot bring themselves to make. There is nothing Trump can do at this point to un-disqualify himself, & there are no laws Congress can pass to fix it.

The <only> mechanism is impeachment & removal.
The inescapable conclusion that neither the NYT nor WaPo editorial board can bring themselves to make is that this administration has to end. Its response to these killings—let alone the killings themselves—is obscene and totally disqualifying.

Quite literally, there are about a dozen scandals under Trump II that are worse than the worst scandals in all of 🇺🇸 political history. Add in the ongoing familial/personal monetization of the presidency, the violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations with 🇨🇦 & 🇬🇱/🇩🇰, & the murder on the high seas.
Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Also not grasping that when Republicans are in the minority, particularly in the Senate, the things they DO are things we would not do because they’re severely damaging to the institution, good governance, or morality. We don’t want to be those guys who just smash things.

The grind of government isn’t like campaigning and that’s why experience will be needed when democrats take back house & White House.

Sloganeering is easy; governing takes time and effort.

Maybe the ask is to shut down the government and make repeal of the OBBBA the demand? I don’t know? Because I genuinely do not know what “while you can” means here.

“While you can” is load bearing here, considering ICE is already independently funded outside of the appropriations process right now as we speak, for years hence if they wanted.
Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

I feel like I should drop this video here, because while it's not specifically about politics, it is very much downwind of it, and explains just how we're in the current state that we're in. It especially helps explain how we got to having a total upside-down health leadership in this admin.

"Voters have agency" is the one factor that way, waaaaaaaaayyyyy too many people on our side don't want to reckon with. Jan 6th failed! Trump didn't seize power; voters *gave it to him*, knowing this would be the result. 40 million people who are not going to just go away!

I am not always saying "don’t turn allies into enemies over a disagreement on tactics" but frankly I should be considering how often it reaches epidemic levels on this site

the worst weeks on here are the ones where people who share goals and share values convince themselves that people who don't agree on tactics are evil rather than just being fuckin' idiots.

try to stop at "you're a good guy but you're being a fuckin' idiot" as the outside bound imo

This stuff needs to end.

A. There are about 100K voting locations in the US. There are maybe 10K ICE field agents. They never do big actions w fewer than 5-6 agents. Do the math.

B. Even if they did, so what? Chicago & MN show that the harder ICE/CBP pushes the more determined Americans get /1
This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

again, if you are hearing about an empathetic, soulful, new-tone trump pivot calming things down in Minnesota, the people who are telling you this are trying to trap your mind inside a false, alternate reality. please consider why exactly they are doing this.

Hey look it's John Thune! The guy you all think Chuck Schumer is. Thune is the LEADER of the Senate with an immense amount of power! And he's planning to use it to suppress your vote!
NEW: Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said he’s readying to bring a more aggressive version of the SAVE Act to the Senate floor.

The new bill would not only require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, but would also mandate photo ID to vote.
GOP Senate leader: SAVE Act vote coming, ‘I’m for it’
“At some point, we’ll have that vote,” Thune said. “I’m for it.”

Ana, if the Congressional minority could dictate the Congressional majority's actions, why are Republicans obsessed with taking back Congressional majorities?
The things here are, like, the minimum basic bullshit. Maybe if you were starting some kind of new bureau you could nail down perimeters. But barn door, horse, etc. The agency has shown itself to be rotten to the core. Don't fix, don't overhaul, abolish.

If they manage to achieve that as the minority, that's incredible work. If they manage to make Republicans look terrible because they refuse these extremely reasonable sounding reforms, still a solid win.

But maybe you disagree! Totally fair, what is your plan? Or even your specific objection?
