I love that we're told we should be happy with whatever scraps Dems get at the table and Lindsey Graham can hold up everything with a "I should be allowed to cash a multi-million dollar check from the taxpayers for my trouble"
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

“In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) is planning to fly to Minneapolis tomorrow. Ro Khanna flew in today.
We've been telling Dems to do this last week. You have to be in Minnesota. You have to be with the people. You have to stand next to Walz and Frey.
Coordinated effort, leadership, and pushback.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

I swear DHS recruited a bunch of frustrated former high school bullies as ICE agents. And they really had to explain to them that hurt feelings don’t justify brute force.
LEAKED: After the ICE shooting of Renee Good, agents received a mandatory “legal refresher” on civil rights and use of force.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
