Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

We are not in need of more evidence or rhetoric—we are in need of political will and action. We know how to fix what’s broken.
The question is whether we still have the courage to stop pretending and pick up the tools to repair it.

American Politics Only Pretends to Work
The most underappreciated obstacle to political change is the dreary doom loop of institutional process that only bolsters a broken status quo.

America has never needed an effective opposition party as badly as it needs one now; instead we have the most feckless Democratic leaders of the past 100 years.

I hope the people who thought “abolish the police” was a bad slogan or whatever are watching what the LAPD are doing. For shame. If they are above the law then there is no way to reform them.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare.
And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.

People in Gaza are still collecting the skulls and decomposed remains of their children from beneath the rubble, while some fantasize about building a resort on their mass graves, and others gloat over a minority that refused to vote for the party that enabled a genocide.

It’s like a qualification in Trump world.
Trump just announced Sean Parnell as the chief Pentagon Spokesman.
Parnell’s wife testified under oath that he repeatedly choked her. He ultimately lost custody of his children.

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work 👍

The DNC is a complete failure. The party is cooked and it’s time to build a party for and by the working class
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden Congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

So now we get in a pissing contest where each side tries to show how much they can hurt each other, people who have been friends and partners forever, things just keep getting ratcheted up, and everyone loses. All because of one malignant narcissist’s derangement and fragile ego.
