THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Since we're doing the "fascism" debate again, I have to confess I find it baffling how the "not fascist" argue it can only apply to the specific situations of one historical time period, which is not a standard they would ever apply to any other political label ("socialist," "liberal," whatever.)

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

YES‼️ DEMOCRATS, KEEP THIS UP
House Republicans wanted to pass a funding bill using a fast-track process called suspension of the rules. That method skips normal procedures but requires a big bipartisan vote, usually two-thirds of the House, around 70 votes.
House Democrats told them no.

Dems aren’t providing the votes. This means Republicans can’t use the easy button.
So now Johnson has to use the Rules Committee, which lets leadership set the terms of debate and bring the bill to the floor with a simple majority instead of a supermajority.

That route is risky:
• Republicans have a slim margin
• Any internal GOP rebellion can sink the bill
• Dems can and should still make the process painful and public
Bottom line:
Democrats took away the shortcut.
Republicans now have to muscle it through the hard way.
