The GOP has put the federal government on a war footing in relation to cities and states that didn’t vote for them, and then Republicans lament that we seem to be sliding into Civil war. It’s like if a Confederate had been elected president in 1860 and immediately started invading Northern cities.

Commentators seem to be missing the main point of what Homan is saying -- he says that AG Ellison and Walz agreed with him that "County jails may notify ice of the release date of an inmate just as long as they don’t hold them past the release date."

Spoiler alert: When top officials have to start saying in an agency’s defense “no, no, no, that’s a totally legitimate law enforcement agency,” they have already lost and it is, in fact, no longer a legitimate law enforcement agency.
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

I’ll believe this when the Minnesotans on here confirm it has happened.
But if this is real, then they are retreating again.
Did Homan announce the next target? Usually they frame it as “we won here, now we move on,” but did they not even do that?

I would sometimes ask what exactly were kitchen table issues at poll briefings, it would go something like this.
"What are kitchen table issues?"
"Health care."
"Oh like universal health care."
"No. Like our drug pricing bill."
"What is our drug pricing bill?"
"Well so by 2030..."

The Dems should invent a board game where voters get their donor lists and a list of predators from the Epstein files and see how many matches they can make. Voters can play it on the kitchen table so it's a "kitchen-table issue".

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. It’s a relatively common crime.
There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.

Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 rioters were already indefensible.
The fact that so many of those who received pardons went on to commit additional crimes, including many felonies, makes the move look so much worse.

He’s absolutely right that prisons and other detention places were bad under Dem presidents.
And know what today’s critics of ICE did then? Complain abt it and demand change.
Is this just a lame deflection, or do GOPers like this genuinely not understand that not all ppl put party loyalty first?
