It’s not because Trump has “lost the culture.” It’s not because he has “lost the country.” Those are euphemisms for a backlash among respectable white people to a president whose authoritarian impulses did not stop at the color line, as they were supposed to, according to the rules of white power.

Trump is more untouchable than an actual king for God's sake.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Pure corruption of the crudest sort. And Lutnick and Trump are in on it. A Detroit billionaire met with Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, hours before President Trump said he would block the opening of a new bridge connecting Detroit to Canada, officials said.

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." 🤔

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.
