when a similar DOJ scandal happened last winter the dems responded to the mass resignations of career prosecutors by cutting their work week short & skipping town to go on a european junket
Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

yet further proof that senate brain poisoning is terminal and unavoidable
Elizabeth Warren is a shell of her former self. It’s sad to see.
.@PabloReports: Would you vote for any funding increases for ICE?
Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.
This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Either ICE Is Abolished or It Will Kill Many More Renee Goods
Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

[very serious elected dem voice] "more training will fix the handful of bad apples ICE has in their ranks"
the problem with this is that "more training" is usually just another way for politicians to say "we're gonna give this agency more money" which is the diametric opposite of neutering DHS as a federal agency
okay since it appears i have to spell this out even more: “training” — a thing that sounds good to sensible moderate voters, who exist and are uncomfortable with sudden change — can, if we make it, be a stalking horse for “moves that effective neuter the agency”

Average ppl in Minnesota are putting their bodies on the line. Priests are fearlessly staring down guns. ICE is gassing ppl and snatching kids.
And this fucking coward can’t call for using power to stop ICE?

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

it's impossible to stop trump's paramilitary squads from continuing to roam our streets terrorizing, kidnapping, & killing until the democratic party purges itself of the cowards currently leading the party
Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained."
This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

Here is one thing I will say about this: people should ignore the roll call votes.
Schumer is going to do whatever he needs to do to get the less vulnerable members to take the arrows for everyone else.
If ICE is funded, it's going to be on every single senator.

this is not a party gearing up to even pare back funding, let alone abolish ICE. I cannot stress enough that it'd be cleaner and easier to just get rid of every last one of them via primary than try to figure out which is worth saving
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

Kindly shut the hell up about this merely being a problem with “training.”
Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:
- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

so, uh, trump launched a war against venezuela, kidnapped the president & his wife, but the collective response from the democratic party has been to do nothing?

think about how much money the next democratic president will be able to brag about saving the the american taxpayers when they fire every single DHS agent before they've been on the job long enough to claim this $50k payout
I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
