Is that “the problem” Ron? Is that really the problem?
BASH: This is a sitting president suing American taxpayers for $10 billon. Are you comfortable with that?
RON JOHNSON: I don't doubt the federal government deserves to be sued. The problem is we don't have $10 billion.

I'm skimming through mentions of Trump in the Trump-Epstein Files, and there's one thing that I'm thinking over and over:
All we had to do was believe the women.
There are dozens of stories in here that make me ill. Do you really believe these are all lies?

The DOJ knows what we can see and what's been redacted, yet Don Lemon is a priority. Enraging and disgusting.
This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.
Decide. Who are you?

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:
° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement
° Create a code of conduct and enforce it
° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude"
And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.”
And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

My husband has been in Vienna for a week. His flight home lands in Detroit in 30 minutes. He's been in the air since 8 a.m. Every time he travels abroad, he returns home to a crazy news cycle. I can't imagine what it's going to feel like to turn his phone on as the plane taxis to the gate.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
