I am underwhelmed by “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” The minimum demand should be all ICE and CBP agents off the streets of Minnesota. The minimum.

Personally, I’d rather hear “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” than “I’m from the government and I’m here to shoot you.”

I'm seeing people mistakenly claim the gun photo was posted before today, but its just how Google sometimes dates images based on the original date of the thread its posted in, not when it was posted. The photo was posted an hour ago in this 5 day old thread

Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Need unambiguous statements of support by everyone — from Walz and Klobuchar and Smith to Schumer and Jeffries— for state and city law enforcement standing up to lawless DHS.

Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity."

Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

Tomorrow, Jack Smith will testify publicly on all the evidence he collected and why Donald Trump was lawfully indicted.

Everyone should watch.

The Democratic approach to building back power is:

1. Avoid contentious issues;
2. Pivot all discourse to unobjectionable appeals like costs;
3. Leave moral opposition to citizens of conscience, who have lost all trust in the party, but hope they vote Democrat anyhow.

Wrong top to bottom.

VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

Okay, question:

Assuming that you have to pick a new leader from an existing Senate Dem (so you've got 44 non-Chuck options)

Who would you vote for as the new Senate Minority Leader, if it was up to you? Genuinely curious

No president has ever more clearly deserved impeachment, conviction, and disqualification than Donald J. Trump after Jan 6, 2020. The failure of most Senate Republicans to do their duty will echo for eons. They should be forever defined by their disgrace, cowardice, and betrayal.

Yesterday, the President posted that he was “Acting President of Venezuela”. Checking ABC and CNN news apps this morning, nary a mention.

Don't plug their bill to the press.
Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

Mitch McConnell could have ended this all after J6, by voting to remove Trump and bar him from office.
Mitch McConnell slams “threats and intimidation by U.S. officials" over Greenland. "And the use of force to seize the sovereign democratic territory of one of America’s most loyal and capable allies would be an especially catastrophic act of strategic self-harm to America and its global influence."
