I realize that there are so many things about this but I’m tired of the “they’re paid protesters” line because this isn’t about crowd sizes. This is about 1st, 4th,civil, and human rights and no one loses those because they are “paid”.
Trump: "In MN, the Troublemakers, Agitators, & Insurrectionists are, in many cases, highly paid professionals. The Governor & Mayor don’t know what to do, have totally lost control, & our currently being rendered, USELESS! If, & when, I am forced to act, it will be solved, QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY!"

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

The paid protesters argument is, while still stupid, about crowd sizes where numbers matter.

To apply the paid protesters argument to violations of the First and Fourth amendments, civil rights, and human rights, is to say that if we are being paid to do something, we lose our rights.
"You're seeing a lot of paid protesters" -- Rep. Mike Haridopolos's attempt to defend ICE's tactics in Minneapolis during a CNN panel discussion this morning did not go well. Bad used car salesman vibes.

Regular reminder that no member country pays into NATO. It is a requirement to spend 5% of GDP (new target) on defense spending (aka their own military).

So is Fine suggesting we will cut our defense budget here?
NEWSMAX: If we take Greenland, can we get out of NATO and stop paying $50 billion a year?

REP. RANDY FINE: NATO needs the US a lot more than the US needs NATO. Greenland should be part of the United States.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

NOAA cut funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, directed by my friend Mike West. As a result, seismic monitoring by nine stations in Alaska tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes will go offline by the end of the month. This endangers people in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of the Pacific.
This lab is key for tracking deadly waves. Its sensors are about to go offline.

ICE took a mother from our school today. She went to support her son at hearing. ICE took her for good measure. The bus driver knew mom was kidnapped. She always picked up the kids. Mom used her one phone call to beg Principal to save her children from ICE. We are a country run by a cruelty cult.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
