But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.
I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Trump's FBI raided an election office in Georgia, a state central to his baseless 2020 voter fraud conspiracy theories.
Meanwhile, he's continuing to let actual fraudsters and politically-connected crooks off the hook.

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

💯 Also, every NATO/🇪🇺 leader rightly speaking out now about the far right authoritarianism coming from 🇺🇸 has 20-25% of his/her electorate at home voting for Trump equivalents in their own far right authoritarian parties. Let's not write entire publics off because of a common domestic threat.
I get why a distinction between "America" and "the Trump regime" may seem immaterial to many Europeans. But Trump's domestic political weakness is something Europe can exploit, which in turn strengthens the hand of opposition within the US. Plus, the distinction is *extremely* relevant stateside.
