My apologies for the visual.

ICE agent exposes himself to the crowd and then gives them a finger.

In retrospect, smearing a minivan driving mom as a terrorist and VA nurse as an assassin was uncalled for. From now on our administration promises to celebrate their lives as well as their deaths

ailes woke up every morning with the mindset "what can we do at fox news today to elect more republicans?" and that set the tone for EVERYTHING the network did. everything.

think this is mostly right. roger ailes wanted to make money but he was a diehard conservative who was very invested in getting elected republicans elected always. thats why he was so good at what he did. bari has hitched her wagon to the right but she isn't a true believer of the faith.
My sense is that Weiss is a largely non-ideological grifter. Yeah, she's invested (pun intended) in being an Edgy Iconoclast Who Can't Be Classified, but ultimately I think she's just a troll who wants money and prestige.
what bari weiss is doing is bad and dangerous, but as someone who has watched the rw media world for decades now -- weiss is like a discount bargain basement roger ailes. like karl rove, ailes was an evil genius. weiss is a dummy. still dangerous, but a dummy.

Indeed. Senate Dems don't even need to say "abolish ICE." They can do their obnoxious "we need to investigate this, come up with reforms" or whatever.

But there is no good reason to rush to whatever compromise the GOP will accept. Dems have the advantage. Use it. Let the GOP stew in their problems.
the first best Senate ask is to split the DHS funding from the rest of the minibus.

It wrongfoots Republicans, it unites the D caucus, and it becomes more compelling rather than less compelling the longer Rs resist it. plus all the minibus components were negotiated separately anyway

Once you get a bead on how Sulzberger, Kahn, Healy, Peters, et al view politics, the editorial slant in their political coverage is unmistakable. "Liberals need to be listening to conservatives" is practically a commandment to them
these people seem like idiots

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking:

Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

Eyewitness to the killing of Alex Pretti:

"The thing that stood out to me was that he was calm. There was no way that he was the one escalating this. He was doing exactly what so many of us have done. We were recording the ICE agents because they need cameras on them to keep them accountable"

After the public execution of Alex Pretti, the administration is blaming the optics, th tactics, the messaging, Bovino’s head just rolled, now they may have Noem’s head roll as well, but none of that is to blame for what’s happening on the streets of America. Donald Trump is to blame. He unleashed this lawless, un-American cruelty. He and his party must pay the price. Their heads must roll.

I’m sorry, the @nytimes.com’s own video team shows incontrovertibly that the federal agents beat, tortured, and massacred a civilian who posed no threat to them on the street and all we get is a mealy mouthed passive voice headline about “flawed and fatal decisions?”

Reminder of the pattern: when the real trump falters, he is removed from the news and replaced my in headlines by a fake, imaginary trump who is instead doing reasonable and popular things.
Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

It sounds like he’s being reasonable, but it’s just a request to better mask their awful policies and actions. NO ONE that CBP and ICE go after are folks waving ISIS flags or with suicide vests. That just doesn’t happen.
Ted Cruz: "If you're being told, this is a mom of three -- and she's not waving an ISIS flag or doesn't have a suicide vest -- escalating the rhetoric doesn't help, and it actually loses credibility. So I would encourage the administration to be more measured and recognize the tragedy."
