"News analysis" incredibly revealing

When we discussed them at the Chamber of Commerce, we said the leopard deportation squads would be orderly & meticulous! But now they're eating the faces of immigrants & citizens alike! No one could have predicted! Except those progressives we despise!
Immigration was Trump’s strength. Now he’s lost the plot. - The Boston Globe
The controversy now consuming the administration has little to do with immigration policy and everything to do with how that policy is being enforced.

No matter how much the polls swing our way, Dems will never win real progress with Sen. McClellan & Rep. Chamberlain leading the party
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.
Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week

If you want to know why so little progress is made on ... anything in MA, it's because wealthy centrists control state Democrats

When JD Vance blurted out "absolute immunity," it was a classic Kinsley gaffe - he accidentally told the truth
In 16 shooting incidents since July, no DHS officers have faced charges
The Trump administration’s rush to defend the officers and accuse the victims of attacking them has sparked widespread outrage and demands for accountability.

MA cemtrist Dems thought they could have their cake giving in to NIMBYs blocking local clean energy, and eat it too by importing Canadian hydro

As with every other centrist strategy on climate, it's failing us when we need it most

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE.

Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE.

Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Whenever cable news has Trump/cronies on, people are like, well it must be because they're great for ratings!

They were never great for ratings, it's always just been sucking up because they think Republicans should govern us (and specifically so Trump will approve their next merger, tax cut, etc.)
