i do not think trying to prosecute renee good’s widow and friends will be successful for the administration but i do think it will be another nail in the coffin of the DOJ’s presumption of good faith in the courts

ERIC ADAMS RUG PULL EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

we're starting to encounter the consequences of the entire conservative right thinking liberal values are a grift and a psyop
I think this is probably something they think will chill dissent but the number of people in Minneapolis that have basically responded to DHS occupation by saying “I’m willing to die for my cause, are you?” makes me think this will not work

you know, I will keep the same energy for this unnamed House member as I do for the centrists who tattle to Axios, even though this member is right. say it with your chest and under your government name if you want what you're saying to actually be heard by your colleagues!
"'The Democratic party is not going to be any braver in the majority than it is in the minority,' one House member told The Bulwark. 'The whole point becomes maintaining the majority so you never take courageous and sometimes necessary positions.'"
ICE Becomes Central to 2026
Democrats debate how best to push back against the rogue agency and its leaders.

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

Dismantling DHS is an entirely achievable goal for Democrats at this point.
You can have Fox yell at you for being a radical leftist or whatever, but you're going to have endless images of paramilitary goons assaulting people on TV, and voters will associate you with wanting to end that.

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

To add some to this it must be at least a little intimidate to keep attacking all these people who show up absolutely everywhere to yell at you and not only doesn’t it make them scared of you it just makes them madder and more of them? Like these guys are locked in hell of their own doing
One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

We really gotta reinforce the fourth amendment that shit is in tatters
/3 That is likely to be a tiny element of this because (1) most Kavanaugh Stops are for harassment or immigration detention purposes and don’t result in criminal charges and (2) the Fourth Amendment has been dramatically weakened by SCOTUS and such motions are very hard to win.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
