The Dems will never learn. The moral high ground is GONE. Guys like Mike Lee are out here making light of political murder and Klobuchar is talking about manners. Who is going to tell her? That moment is long gone.

What an absolutely chilling attempt by the NYT to normalize something that is so extreme and rare.
I categorically refuse to accept either of these as normal or routine.

Stephen Miller represents everything vile about this administration and drawing more attention to him will (a) make it harder for the administration to pretend this isn't creepy white nationalism in action and (b) likely make Trump jealous to the point he shitcans him like Elon.
Win-win.
Win-win.
More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

Terry knew exactly what would happen when he said this. ABC’s terms of employment are very explicit about restrictions on employees’ personal political activities and expression, and the policy’s application is entirely subjective.
I never thought I’d say this, but thank you, Terry.

They are literally arresting people AT WORK. And if they aren’t at work it’s because they were AT IMMIGRATION COURT AS INSTRUCTED or THEY ARE MINORS!
what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.
Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:
