My 7 year old self loved this song, playing it on the jukebox at Sister Lakes Bowling alley as often as I could on a Saturday morning bowling league. 58 year old Tim still a huge fan.

What a ridiculous headline...

Such weak statement: Murkowski, R-Alaska, said it was "probably time for her to step down."

At least do the Democratic thing and make it a strongly worded statement...

Two Republican senators call for Kristi Noem to resign as DHS secretary
Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Thom Tillis are the first GOP members of Congress to call for Noem to step down as secretary of homeland security.

How revolting and disgusting to state that the killing of two US citizens by ICE as "Mistakes happen". How can any Democratic member of Congress accept dealing with such disgusting and amoral Republican peer? How can his constituents accept such an individual to support them in Congress?
NEWSMAX: Are you among the Republicans who are concerned about how things are being handled in MN?

REP. RICH McCORMICK: When things went wrong in the military, when I was in the Marines, people died sometimes, and sometimes it was through no fault of anymore. Just bad circumstance. Mistakes happen

I just have to assume nothing is going to change. Some shuffling of personnel, some strongly worded laws that is simply ignored. I hate feeling this way but I need to see enforceable action and justice. @liccardo.house.gov

Just to be clear, resign or impeachment will not stop the anger. Democrats need to stand up and stop "business as usual" with the Trump members of Congress and Administration. @liccardo.house.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @governor.ca.gov

Jack Smith: "I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in this country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted"

What will it take for our federal government to understand this? A reduction in funding or “new” laws will mean nothing to ICE.
I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

Strong statement from Rep Jayapal rejecting DHS funding deal:

The entire federal government of the US is either presenting as insane or fickle to the EU and the rest of the world.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.

Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.
But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

How can ordinary citizens deal with the criminal ICE behaviors when the police can’t even… so disgusting so insane. I guess whoever has the most people and biggest guns rule.
"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at.

California's No Secret Police Act (SB 627), is it being enforced or not? Or is it just a hollow attempt to show that California government is trying?

Disgusting…
“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.”

Are ICE agents in California following the new law banning masks? Or is this another example of our lawless federal government?

We are in an abusive relationship with the US federal government.

📌It's one thing how absolutely obvious it is we are in the middle of yet another cover-up by Trump's DOJ with the Epstein Files.
But it's quite another that this cover-up has to do with CHILD RAPE, and how damn little Trump's GOP is interested in getting to the bottom of it.

They are grotesque.

Republican leaders don’t care if Americans go hungry w/o SNAP, if citizens are detained by ICE, if migrants are killed in illegal strikes on “drug boats”, or if millions die from USAID cuts.

But when it comes to their rich friends in the Epstein files, they suddenly must protect the “innocent.”

Copernican Principle teaches us Earth isn't the center of the universe. Extend to society: no person, group, or nation is inherently central or special. Privilege, status, and power are social constructs, not cosmic truths. Humility and fairness start when we stop assuming we’re the center of it all

Current line of Presidential succession… JD Vance (eating the dogs and cats), Mike Johnson (not in my lane), Chuck Grassley (92 year old man). What a line to assure the continuation of this country if needed.
