New party identification polling from Gallup this week shows Americans are moving against Trump faster than they did in his first term. Adults were R+4 in 2024, now D+8. That 12-pt drop is 3x the change in the first year of his first term.

Ilhan Omar: There is no precedent for this level of federal overreach, violence, lawlessness - this is not about immigration. This is about retribution. Trump himself said it this week. This is about creating chaos and fear to justify invoking the Insurrection Act.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Ban corporate PACs and Super PACs.

Ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

Ban partisan gerrymandering.

Overhaul the Supreme Court.

There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

It’s time to impeach. I have voted TWICE this year to advance Articles of Impeachment for Donald Trump. After a year of threats on our own soil and our allies—Republicans are finally talking about impeachment. It’s about damn time.

Mr. President, you have been duly warned—now by the GOP.

And we won.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

The administration needs to be asked directly how many J6ers, and anyone convicted of seditious conspiracy, are now ICE agents with a badge and a gun.

the chair of the county legislature posted how he was swarmed by ICE for investigating the site of the rumored future detention facility that DHS wants to open in S. KCMO. He's on public property and ICE is trying to intimidate and arrest anyone who comes near.

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?

Answer? He wanted a *war*.

What does Secretary Rollins think American families should eat for dinner?  

"...a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing." 

My family ate like this in Soviet Ukraine. This isn't the American way.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."
