Bill Kristol: "The agents presumably had a good laugh about this. Perhaps they relished their meal even more because the staff was frightened. Humiliation of victims, a kind of relish in their fear and misery, a kind of sadism has become a dominant part of the culture of ICE."
The People Are Turning Against ICE. Will the Politicians Take Notice?
Strongly worded statements will not stop the terrorization of the country.

When career prosecutors resign because they’re being pushed to investigate a grieving widow instead of a federal agent who killed an unarmed woman, that’s not “law and order.” That’s a warning sign.

Grocery. An old-fashioned word. But a beautiful word.
Grocery prices were up 0.7 percent in December, the largest one-month gain since October 2022. They were up 2.4 percent from a year ago.

Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

You cannot tell voters that this regime is an existential threat one day and aid and abet it every other day. Either you're lying or you are complicit, neither of which makes you fit for office.
7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election:
Durbin
Hassan
Kaine
King
Klobuchar

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

This happened about 20 minutes ago. And Senator Kelly has already responded and said he’ll fight.
When Congress continues to let Hegseth get away with violating the law without even attempting consequences, he responds by violating the law more.
This isn't complicated.
What Hegseth/DOD is doing here is awful, but at some point part of the problem is Dems' lack of tangible response.

The Pentagon will cut the military retirement pay of Sen. Mark Kelly for what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the Arizona Democrat’s “seditious” statements on a video telling service members they have the right to refuse to execute illegal orders.

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four:
*regular armed forces (most regulated)
*ICE (minimally regulated)
*private mercenaries (?)
*MAGA thugs/militias (rogue)
All pardonable
