Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.
Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I’m heartbroken seeing any person killed needlessly. But in this moment, the juxtaposition of hateful, violent, small men murdering one of our very good men feels so terribly painful. We desperately need these good men standing up for what’s right.
Rest in Peace and in Power, Alex Pretti.

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country."

Trump is throwing out his typical BS so media will write stories and talk about his supposed intent to “turn the temp down” while offering no specifics to actually do that. Why do they fall for this every time? This is only another ploy to stall for time hoping people move on.
