They're too old to make it through a full shift.
The Senate is on recess this whole week.
The Senators could all be in Minneapolis right now, riding with ICE patrols, speaking out about what's happening, and standing up for what's right.
That they are not is a choice.

Am I the only one tracking that there's another federal budget deadline looming on January 31? (It's fucking up my travel arrangements for a TDY in early Feb is why I know…). Seems like it's not being talked about in the press much esp vis-a-vis ICE doing brown shirt things

Mendoza is an incredible QB but he sounds like an used car dealer on cocaine in every interview. Or a religious missionary. I hate it

Not a single sideline shot of Cignetti yet. Shameful. Give the people what they want (a continuous inset feed of Cignetti’s face)

My ten year old was in the other room eating Cup O Noodles and spilled them and yelled and every horrifying ramen burn from the burn ICU and PICU I’ve cared for flared in my mind. Fortunately just got a little on her leg and she’ll be fine. Made a big mess tho

I think it’s great the internet is passing around the CECOT piece but let’s be real: the number of people whose minds can be changed that are also technologically literate enough to watch it this way rounds to zero. They didn’t want Boomers and Xers seeing it. No one else watches 60 Minutes anyway
