As others have noted, "Abolish ICE" is in positive territory without Democrats even pushing the message. If they actually leaned into this, they could easily move that number much higher.
BTW, while "Abolish ICE?" is currently polling at 46/43, the same weekly poll had "Abolish the Department of Education?" at 28% support, 58% opposed before Trump did it anyway.

Trump shared a conspiracy post on Truth Social accusing Tim Walz of ordering the assassination of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman. Beyond disgusting.

(The reality is that Hortman’s murderer was a strong Trump supporter.)

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

Wanton madness
Caracas is under fire. Multiple U.S. strikes have hit key military sites: Fuerte Tiuna, La Carlota airbase, and a communications center in El Hatillo. Explosions echo through the capital, the power is out in parts of the city, and U.S. helicopters are flying low. Fires also rage near La Guaira.

As a Ukrainian, if you ever cared about Russia's fascist illegal, illegitimate and unjust invasion of Ukraine, you should absolutely care about US's fascist illegal, illegitimate and unjust invasion of Venezuela. My solidarity and best wishes to all Venezuelans.

And just like that … Mamdani is getting the criminals out of NYC.

So excited to see NY’ers roll their sleeves up and get work with their new Mayor. You’ll accomplish great things together.

HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff

BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that?

Targeting the free press is nothing new for this administration or for Trumpism but this feels like an elevation of hostiles

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Remember when Biden bungled a comment and it sounded like he called all MAGA garbage, quickly corrected and it was still a 3 day news story?

Luttig has it right here: “[T]he Supreme Court has given them no choice but to speak out.”
More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

America First. Really?

Trump says we have to throw 15 million Americans off healthcare and significantly raise ACA premiums because we don’t have enough money.

But somehow we have $20 billion to bailout the right-wing regime of Argentina?

We can’t let that happen.
The U.S. is in talks to provide Argentina with a $20 billion swap line to help contain financial upheaval and support President Javier Milei’s free-market overhaul, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

Brian Kilmeade just casually thinks murdering people is a solution. Not healthcare, not housing, not services, death. This isn’t news commentary, it’s stochastic terrorism.
