The amount of fuckery that goes on around ostensibly “progressive” elected prosecutors should tell you how hard it is to run a candidate for Sheriff under the progressive banner, but this is still a real bad look for Tidewater Dems.

Bolts @boltsmag.org · 13h

The local Democratic Party chair said they did not seek any policy concessions from Dave Rosado, the “pro-Trump, pro-ICE” sheriff, in exchange for endorsing him.

Democrats in Southeast Virginia Endorse “Pro-Trump, Pro-ICE” Sheriff

Immigrant rights advocates were already dismayed that no Democrat ran against their local GOP sheriff in Chesapeake. Then the local Democratic Party rallied around him.

You’ll never guess who is in charge of the Homeland Security Council….

NEW: A senior ICE official testified today the WH Homeland Security Council — and not the State Department — informed him Uganda was the deportation target for Abrego Garcia.

DOJ then asserted presidential privilege over any other details about the call. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

All of us should be asking the same question, but only a few dozen of us can threaten to zero out DHS’s budget unless they get an answer, Dick.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

It is ESPECIALLY funny given that at his first press conference in Philadelphia he expressed a desire to bring a title back to Washington

Listen. It's been 6 years and it remains VERY FUNNY that the Washington Nationals won the World Series immediately after Bryce Harper left the building. And it will remain VERY FUNNY forever.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
