Enough Dems have made the funding bill dead in the water. Now we need Noem impeached and ICE dismantled.
Are there any folks outside Mike Johnson’s house?

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

From firing the local MAGA-allied police chief to calling for the abolishment of ICE, so much inaction by elected Democrats boils down to "but I'm scared!"
I am very sorry, but you said you could do this job when you were hired. Please step aside if you can't.

The secret reason I understand SCOTUS rulings and sound intelligent about our current judiciary hellscape is because I read Law Dork.
OK, a little pie-in-the-sky goal here: Any chance we could get Law Dork 549 new subscribers — free or paid — before the new year?
That would give Law Dork 80,000 total subscribers!
If you've relied on my work this year, share this with your recommendation!

A decomposing president who is easily fooled and is only running on his cruel and self-serving instincts is the ideal puppet of the wealth and oligarchical classes interested in dismantling government and requiring widespread oppression to continue hoarding resources.

It's amazing how so many billionaires - who have WAY more money than they could possibly need in 500 lifetimes - REALLY want to avoid paying small slivers of tax money to benefit a common good like social safety services for less fortunate countrymen within the society that made them billionaires.

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Neoliberalism will not stop fascism and in fact will defend fascism as long as it can as an act of self defense because actually dealing with fascism and its root causes also ends neoliberal political theater and it’s corruption.
