GOP is confused. Ending sanctuary cities won’t stop ICE from recklessly shooting people — as seen in MN. The real issue is unchecked federal forces misused for political theater. Protest and armed carry are constitutional, the courts say. The Gov must adhere to the Constitution. Good for the goose…

A review of the video shows no clear threat. Yelling ‘officer safety’ must be supported by evidence. Training and policy are essential, but accountability is vital when video footage does not align with justifications given. Police groups should be measured in statements or risk losing credibility.

America is at a breaking point. We move forward or surrender to fear and grievance. Progress means defending democratic norms and civic responsibility — not flirting with authoritarian impulses — as the 2026 elections approach. The stakes aren’t rhetorical. They’re existential.

When a VA ICU nurse is killed and smeared, neutrality is betrayal. The VA Secretary failed his workers, choosing political rhetoric over simply praising a dedicated caregiver like Alex Pretti. Any union leadership that won’t demand accountability is failing too. No confidence — now.

So let me get this straight: ICE reportedly let a suspect in a $100M jewelry heist just… leave the country? Prosecutors wanted a trial and prison, but instead he got a one-way ticket to South America. This is what passes for “law enforcement” now.

WAPO reports former judges warn the judiciary is under extreme strain, its integrity pressured by partisan attacks and ambiguous SCOTUS rulings. Who is holding SCOTUS accountable? We have very important issues headed to SCOTUS and the rule of democratically passed law may be on the line.

AFGE-Europe is reconstituting, stay tuned.

“Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen.”
