For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal.
For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

The cool thing about DOGE is that they taught us that ICE can be abolished in an afternoon by the next Dem president. I will only support primary candidates with that attitude.
This is how you do it. Dems need a Project 2026 and a Project 2028 and they need to be AGGRESSIVE. Not just take trying to restore what the MAGA orcs destroyed, but going much further in the other direction.
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
These will all go to 2026 referendums.

People need to know more about Epstein's fixation with Eugenics & an elite research group he funded at Harvard ($6.5M initial investment) that involves a lot of very intelligent people & Steve Bannon who seem to be generally focused on world domination circa 2015-16.

People in America have been basting in "we're great" propaganda so long it must come as a complete shock that we are not exceptional, not great, but extremely corrupt. We rate very low on "democracy indices," civil rights, education & healthcare. Corruption has poisoned everything for many decades.

Crockett is great at speechifying. And, I love her hair. But, this fiery performance in front of TV cameras is just more narration, not a call to practical action. She, as are most Democrats, are focused only on re-electing themselves - that's the only plan after all the bold talk. We need action.

The Opus Dei courts rulings against Obama's clean energy policy implementation cannot on any point be reconciled with their current spate of rulings for Trump's policy orders, other than by accepting that SCOTUS like MAGA policies and hates Democratic policies. It's pretty simple.
Ten years ago today, #SCOTUS issued five unsigned and unexplained 5-4 rulings granting emergency applications to block President Obama’s Clean Power Plan—a completely unprecedented move that helped to usher in the Court’s modern … (mis)adventures … with its shadow docket.
