AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Jared Golden sees what ICE is doing to Minneapolis and welcomes the same to his district. I expect that from Republicans. But it's Dems like this that wreck the Party brand and make it harder for us to win. Thankfully he understands his limitations and is throwing himself out of politics.

ICE is detaining a 5 year old boy.

If you get off on this, you’re a monster and don’t you dare pretend to worship God.

Reminder that our Constitution guarantees due process to ALL persons — not just citizens — and enshrines habeas corpus as a fundamental right.

Either everyone has due process — or no one does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=metN4EiDtmQ
What is Due Process?
It’s more important than ever to understand your right to due process. Here’s what you should know.

House republicans sure are worried that Trump only had 5 months to mount a defense for his attempted COUP.

Give me a break Trump has never not delayed (until hell froze over) every single legal action he has ever been involved in. PERIOD. FULL STOP!

Why are we acting surprised?
Dozens of allegations. 34 convictions. No respect for the Constitution.
And we’re supposed to believe January 6th was a bridge too far??

What we already knew, and what Jack Smith confirms, is that Trump is guilty of sedition, treason, incitement of violence, incitement of insurrection, an attempted coup, obstruction of justice, fraud, and election tampering.

Trump remains ineligible to hold office and should be imprisoned.

As a Minnesotan - as an American - I will never forgive these seven, nor the spineless House Democratic "leadership".

I will never forget this betrayal.

The Republicans, save perhaps Massie, were already beyond redemption.

There's nothing "moderate" about voting to give billions more to Trump's lawless and murderous secret police force. This is a morally repugnant and politically reckless vote by members who embarrass and weaken the Democratic Party.
