"Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
And who was it that put them in that position? Who gave them inadequate training and who gave them the idea they would be immune from their lawless actions?

This president is not working to keep us safe, and neither is Noem. That's why we argue against their policies and will continue to argue against their policies.

Whoever taped this encounter has an enormous amount of courage. Being a small older woman, I have no doubt I would have been face first into the pavement and disappeared into their expanding network of abuse and murder detainment centers. 1/2

Hey Andy, agreed! Americans feel things. Like betrayal. Like being lied to. Also like the feeling of justice served when House members like you lose your jobs come November 2026.

Sure, the House Repubs could call for a Johnson replacement, but who would step up? Either that person would become Johnson 2.0 or, if they had the courage, stand up to the Leader of the not-Free World, be attacked, vilified, reviled and end up political career deprived. 1/2

This actually makes sense to me. If something costs $100 and you bring it down to 13 bananas, then it's down 7 mailboxes, making it 700 invertebrate before so it's now down 700 lip balm. See? This is really a very simple salami problem.
