"...Democrats should rally around proposals...in the House to condition spending on increased oversight of ICE...Democrats can bring the same attention and pressure to bear on Republicans as they did in the healthcare fight..."

Trump's EPA says it will stop calculating the public health value of air pollution regulations, instead solely focusing on costs to Big Business.

Like the rest of his deregulatory agenda, it's a gift for corporate donors and a disaster for the rest of us.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Kenosha anti-ICE protest. Peaceful and positive. Police were cool, no incidents that I witnessed. Bummed more young people weren't present in a gathering of around 200-300.
