A friendly reminder: Using rational arguments to stop an irrational actor does not work. Using shame to stop an actor with no conscience does not work. Using the law to stop an actor who thinks they are above the law does not work. Using moral norms to stop an immoral actor does not work.

This is a test for Democrats right now.
If you really want to grab the mantle of leadership and emerge as a frontrunner, you have to speak out forcefully and against ICE...
Right now.
No centrist mealy-mouthed bullshit.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

DHS, ICE, DoD, HHS, AID, EPA...every day, Trump is murdering people, maiming them, making them suffer. The administration has zero accomplishments. But it has a growing death toll, at home and abroad. Trump, Noem, Homan, Miller, Rubio, Hegseth, Kennedy, Oz, Zeldin all have blood on their hands.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something."
They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable.
These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

Watching Karoline Leavitt offer one bland, ridiculous lie after the next as if none of us compass basic logic, I am reminded of Ron Ziegler's raw lying for a scandal-soaked Nixon. Until Leavitt, Ziegler was the youngest, least experienced press secretary, and by her light, he was subtle and nuanced.
