Mad as hell, but probably going to keep taking it.
Jeffries and Schumer must resign. It's insane that Dems in Congress aren't demanding this every day.

Oh cool, that'll do it.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Trump commits insane acts of corruption every day at levels that would shock even presidents from the 1800s
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

I came across this image yesterday, and it's been haunting my thoughts ever since.

Someone who can really read the room.
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

Schumer was grandstanding yesterday to get rid of Noem, but to still give DHS and ICE as much money as they could possibly want to kill us all.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

I welcome Elon Musk's financial destruction, but he should also be in prison for the people he killed through the destruction of USAid
New: Tesla 4th quarter profit plunges 61% year-over-year; annual profit down 46%

the brand damage:
-1 million lost vehicle sales, per study
-Declining revenue, profits, deliveries in 1st half of '25
-Lower total production/deliveries than '24
-Lost crown as world's leading EV seller

Tesla bet big on Elon Musk. His politics continue to haunt it.

Things are so bad Schumer is at least pretending to want good things.
Schumer calls for Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to be removed from their jobs.

These craven freaks turning on each other as the ship begins sinking is rather entertaining.

Getting rid of Bovino is good.

Getting rid of Noem would be good.

Getting rid of Stephen Miller would be really amazing.

Greg Bovino should spend the rest of his life in a cement box AT BEST.

It's absolutely insane that House and Senate Dems aren't demanding the resignation of Schumer and Jeffries.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.
Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Tear ICE and DHS out by the root and salt the earth so nothing like them can grow again.
Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.
They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

"What can Democrats actually do?"

- Vote against funding for ICE and DHS

- State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

- Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE

- Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!
