For some reason, I'm thinking about how aggressively Savannah Guthrie has interviewed Trump. During an October 2020 town hall, she took him to task for spreading conspiracy theories, COVID, and election denial. She scolded: "You're not like someone's crazy uncle who can just retweet whatever." 🤔

He grew up in Simsbury, Connecticut. His parents died when their plane crashed into a helicopter last January. If he wins it all, his will be one of those Olympics stories told the world over.

NEW: The Trump admin publicized the arrest of an "antifa domestic terrorist," implying he was charged with threatening federal agents. But the criminal complaint suggests Kyle Wagner was charged with Instagram beefing with controversial rightwing agitator Jayden Scott.

Too many law enforcement personnel believe in imposing order at the point of a gun, not in law & order as you & I understand it.

I think it’s time to blame Trump for this. Not only for bungling the investigation but for inspiring this poor woman’s kidnappers.

They bet our entire economy on this.

Covid gave us that period of Work From Home that made workers productive and middle management useless. Now, middle management wants employees to correct a computer all day while it takes longer to accomplish less.

1) Abolish ICE & DHS. Prosecute. Shift immigration enforcement to pre-2003 arrangements.
2) Amnesty for all undocumented immigrants in the country for more than 3 months.
3) Decriminalize unauthorized border crossings and visa overstays. That means administrative rather than criminal penalties.
“Abolish ICE” needs to be rhetorically linked to an actual policy program of the sort folks On Here have proposed: return to essentially the 2001 status quo ex ante, shift immigration judges to article iii status, transfer criminal alien removal to grown-up law enforcement, etc.

Thune’s plan has been obvious - drag this out as long as possible to put distance between the Pretti/Good murders and the final vote on DHS funding, hoping that the American public moves on. Senate Dems will never have more leverage for ICE reforms than they do right now.

There is a religious uprising in this country that the press corps will not recognize as such.
McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question

McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

The US extracted the wealth from Puerto Rico through sugar/tobacco plantations for decades while paying farm laborers almost nothing. The Jones act has taxed Puerto Ricans to prop up a US shipping cartel for a century. The only parasites are the wealthy Americans extracting wealth from the island.

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Rep Bennie Thompson (D-MS) at border security hearing:

"News reports show a Border Patrol agent was found passed out, drunk & covered in vomit in a vehicle & ICE personnel apparently stole a child’s phone and sold it for cash. It’s an embarrassment and DHS’s so-called leadership should be ashamed"

Democrats demand new restrictions to Trump’s immigration crackdown and threaten a DHS shutdown- APNEWS

So it's Dems who are demanding restrictions to arresting bad people, is that the headline?

New Headline: Democrats demand accountability of ICE and the removal of ICE agents from U.S. Cities.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Immigration is not zero sum. You know who knows this best? The descendants of immigrants. They wouldn't be here if there wasn't enough America to go around. So why does this descendant of immigrants suggest immigrants are somehow taking something from citizens? Because he's hiding the real goal.
