Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

🚨FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR POWELL: “Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the federal reserve setting interest rates based on our assessment of what will best serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president.”

This is why it’s actually misleading for ICE to wear all those “POLICE” patches and IDs. They’re very much NOT police.
I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Kamlager-Dove: Nobody said that about the January 6ers, did they? So, they didn’t comply. You know what they got for not complying with the law? A pardon from Trump. And dozens of them have gone out to commit additional crimes. So, I am so sick of the hypocrisy and the bullshit.

Warner: "In less than a year, Trump has used the military to attack Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela. He's now threatening Colombia, Greenland, and other nations. I'm not sure that America trying to be the policeman for the whole world is why Americans hired Donald Trump to be president"

ICE shot a man in Glen Burnie and the story they told was contradicted by:

1. ICE’s own photos
2. Bystander video
3. Lawyer for another immigrant at the scene
4. Anne Arundel County Police

Now ICE is revising its story.

Tapper: "By this standard, would any of these officers be justified in shooting and killing the people causing them physical harm?"

Noem: "Every single situation is going to rely on the situation those officers are on."

It only gets dumber from there.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.

the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.
This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
