"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.
"The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.
This Was Inevitable. And It Is Unforgivable. ICE Owns This.
A warning ignored. A life lost. This cannot become routine.

What Would Republicans Do?
If a repugnant cabal of predators and perverts beats you in critical elections, their tactics are worth studying. And, in some cases, emulating.

Could this be the straw that breaks the camel's back, as far as triggering mass protests?
One never knows. Something will, eventually. It needs to happen but also God help us. I hope all protests remain peaceful.

I have had enough. I was more than content to say impeachment was pointless because he will never be convicted by the Senate, and to just focus on impeachment of his lackeys.
But you know what? Impeach him anyway. Create an extensive written record of his high crimes and misdemeanors.
