Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.
Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

7/ Democrats need to stand for something right now. And what need, to vote for this budget, is pretty simple and reasonable:
Don't cut people's health care just to pay for a billionaire tax cut.
Don't fund Trump's growing authoritarianism without checks on his corruption.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use.
How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

‼️Beyond the anger, I feel such utter sadness at the corruption in this country's leadership that uses corruption to ensure they stay in power so they can do more corruption to stay in power.
The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign.
This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.

Of course, many reports of ICE thugs grabbing American citizens, brutalizing them & throwing them into detention ignoring their pleas that they are citizens. One can imagine this from Kavanaugh: “There is no problem requiring Jews to wear yellow stars. It’s just to identify them. No harm no foul”
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

Bottom line: The final text of the EU-US trade deal delivers $5,000 less to the average American household than the handshake agreement Trump boasted of on August 5.
Text of the US-EU trade deal is out: www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...
The most important thing is what's not there. Trump had boasted "They gave me $600 billion, and that’s a gift." But guess what? They didn't. He didn't get a penny.
