“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

It continues to fry me that I get emails from Medicare encouraging me to “Get healthy with Dr. Oz!” How many people have suffered needlessly from his quackery and snake oil? And now he has a platform next to Robert Kennedy? Jesus wept.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power.
They would defend the constitution and protect the people.
The American people are not safe.
The constitution is under attack.

My thoughts: the exact opposite. For “work with” (which should mean listen to and cooperate with) substitute “obey,” and you’ll get Sen. Hoeven’s meaning).

Michael Che comments on ICE during SNL's Weekend Update: "I get that ICE agents are people-allegedly-and they have a job to do, but at some point while you're pepper-spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, do you ever stop to ask yourself, 'Are we dicks?'"

This needs to be where the rebellion begins, with local police and citizens. We have to draw the line and prepare for it to get really ugly. No one in the Federal government is going to do it for us. We're on our own.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The Epstein files will not be released, the courts will not rein in the Trump regime--even if they did, who's going to enforce It? (see Epstein files). Congress will not act. If they were going to, they would have already. We have to stop pretending the system will save us.

Whoever is still supporting this monster is either woefully ignorant, willfully deluded, or just as deranged and sociopathic as Trump is. Or some combination of the above.
What truly terrifies me is that they have so many weapons.

This is the culmination of decades of work, packing the courts, pumping billions into elections and feeding the public conspiracy theories and disinformation. The goal is to undo all the social progress made since the New Deal. Make America a White male heterosexual supremacist Christian oligarchy.

Exactly. Report the facts. One of the most striking facts here are the lies. And they are lies. Intentional lies.
Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.
