Trump wants more people killed in Minnesota so he can say the state has been so badly run . The truth is he will never win the state and the Republicans that are there will lose their seats now. #ettd

A moderate Democrat with a federal law enforcement background (he was a fed prosecutor) saying on the record that we may need to abolish ICE and start from scratch seems significant.
Some good suggestions from @brianbeutler.bsky.social. I think Rep Daniel Goldman offers a good start at how Dems might approach this going forward here:

Trump is already trying to back out of giving the $2,000 stimulus checks, which no one is getting anyway.

Trump’s Rage Explodes at GOPers as Their Defiance of Him Visibly Grows

ICE Director, Todd Lyons, is LYING to the American public about why ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, didn’t have a bodycam when he murdered Renee Nicole Good.
I bring the receipts, including the Trump Executive Order that ended the use of body cams by ICE.

One thing we can say that we know for certain, no matter what abuses of power or corruption Trump engages in, Republicans in Congress will do and say nothing. Except that Susan Collins will continue to be concerned.

Yes, when I think of voices calling for civic discourse and toning down the rhetoric, I think of the Trump administration. IN particular, I think of the guy who has routinely threatened to arrest elected officials who disagree with him.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
