Good! They need to hold their ground
As Democrats negotiate fiscal 2026 funding for the Dept of Homeland Security with Republicans before a Jan. 30 shutdown deadline, they’re demanding new rules for ICE and Border Patrol agents—such as forcing them to use body cameras, refrain from wearing masks, and go through more extensive training.
‘Abolish ICE’? Many Democrats are ready to fund it — with conditions
It's not clear a Homeland Security funding bill can get done, but furious negotiations are underway.

Republicans say they care about women. Then they raise health insurance costs, threaten hospitals, lie about safe medication, and fight for a national abortion ban. Restricting abortion has never been about protecting women. It’s about control. We must stop them.

Sen. Ossoff: Trump doesn't care what working class and middle-class Americans are going through. What Donald Trump cares about, above all, is retribution. He cares about harassing and persecuting and punishing the people he believes to be his enemies, whether it's J Powell or members of the Senate.

Imagine the view from Beijing and Moscow right now
For those catching up this Wednesday:
--White House is trying to sabotage efforts in Congress to block further military action in Venezuela.
--White House might well launch another illegal attack on Iran imminently.
--White House continues to threaten a NATO ally with territorial annexation.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

Remember — this is happening as they get even more tax cuts in exchange for the social safety net being cut for everyone else.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
