Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.
I wish people could finally accept this.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

If you cancel out all the overwritten BS these three paragraphs reduce down to "tech oligarchs want gobs of government money and no government regulation," which is presented as some kind of novel new kind of "thinking" about regulation but it's just ... what robber barons have always wanted.

This is one of those things that I think is quietly important – when these people are talking shit about cities, Portland or Minneapolis or New York or Charlotte or wherever, you have to loudly say, “no, fuck you, you’re lying, that town and its people whip ass and you’re the asshole”

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.

Every legacy Republican hates him more than Democrats do because he has destroyed the party and what it meant to be conservative.
The way I've looked at it is, there has never been, and never will be, a bottom with Trump and his ilk.
There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a “new low.”
But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it.

More good news: Trump policies are expediting the demise of rural white voters.
The good news:
1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue.
2) She can and should run again in the midterm election.
3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play.
The bad news:
Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.
