My prediction is that Americans - even die hard Republicans - won’t accept the federal government blatantly executing a man on the street in broad daylight.

I prefer Texas Republicans personally attacking each other over Texas Democrats personally attacking each other. Much less stressful and far more likely to produce a positive result.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

I don't see how Will Lewis can effectively lead WaPo.
Lewis did not save Bezos from himself on opinion pages. (375K+ cancelations) His innovations did not stem enough red ink.
And he has not taken any ownership of the devastating ensuing cuts. He's making Murray own it alone.

This is actually a decent list of immediate demands as a bare minimum. I would have added: slash ICE budget down to before the ugly bill.
Keep calling and keep pressure on so Democrats don’t cave on any of these. Any Democrat running in 2026 must commit to abolish ICE when they take power.
