Tonight's reminder that fewer than 10 people can end the worst of all of this immediately, simply by caucusing with Democrats & giving them control of both chambers of Congress. Absolute Profiles in Cowardice.

Imagine if there were even 5 Republicans in Congress that would put their country before Trump...but nope.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

If you’re scared of a Honda Pilot driving less than 5 miles an hour, with its wheels pointing away from you, you should not be working in law-enforcement…

You shouldn’t have a gun. You shouldn’t have a badge. You should find a new line of work.

My 15 year old just texted me this TikTok video and told me that “this is our geopolitical situation right now.” I both love that he’s politically astute and hate that this is the world he has to grow up in.

These chucklefucks are all the same: they can't govern, and when the stupid people who voted for them start to notice their failure, here comes the lawless invasion.

Also, as multiple people have pointed out, the whole analysis ignores the impact of the RW mediasphere. Democrats are *perceived* as "too liberal" because Fox keeps *saying* they're too liberal, & the mainstream goes along. Dems talk affordability; Fox says they only talk about trans people.

Cotton admits there was no Congressional authorization of use of military force.
BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

"...shackled by her wrists, waist, and ankles." With no deportation notice and against a judge's direction. Done in OUR name.
She was first in her family to go to college.

She’d been in the U.S. since she was seven.

They grabbed at the airport on her way to surprise her family for thanksgiving.

They put her in shackles. Her ankles, her arms, and her waist.

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it.

A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

I don’t think the Republicans plan to open the government for a while.

Trump thinks he is untouchable while Congress is out. He has no incentive to get them back to work.
