Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

More shameful destruction of historical education exhibits and more whitewashing of US history by MAGA foot solders.
It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

This reckless move by the Trump Administration has nothing to do with science or informed choice – it’s about appeasing a debunked anti-vaccine agenda being pushed by RFK Jr. and his allies.
I strongly condemn this decision that puts infants and children at real risk.

"Trump’s loudly pro Israel posture does not make him less antisemitic. It makes his antisemitism more transactional. He traffics in familiar tropes about Jewish loyalty, money, and power. He courts white nationalists and neo Nazis openly. He speaks of Jews as leverage, not as people."
My Jewish Uncle Voted for Trump.
The lesson of the Holocaust was never that Jews should abandon democracy wherever they live or empower strongmen who promise protection. The lesson was that fascism must be confronted early, everywhere, without exception.
