You can't "significantly reform" fascism
Hakeem Jeffries: "Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities."

So if I have this straight, Axios went out and found a couple of centrist congressional Democrats angry that their party is being critical of the takeover of Venezuela, and these members are so tuned in to the pulse of the voters that they would only speak anonymously

News coverage of taxpayer financed stadiums is a recurring failure and a complete disservice to their audiences.
It is completely disingenuous for government officials to continue to claim that Kansas "will not be raising taxes" to pay for the Chiefs stadium. That $1.8 BILLION has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is taxpayers. *INSTEAD* is doing a lot of work here. www.kansascity.com/news/local/c...
