Blue state lawmakers have had it with ICE.
State legislatures nationwide are advancing bills to curb immigration enforcement and limit cooperation with federal agents after the fatal shooting of a Minnesota woman by an ICE agent, raising tensions between local leaders and the Trump administration.

Once again, Trump is using hunger as a political weapon. In other contexts this would be called a war crime. In this context, you can just call it evil as all fuck.

The Trump crime family needs a secret police force to carry out their mass deportation goals. This authoritarian agenda requires violence, and they’re deliberately recruiting sadists who enjoy hurting people. And this is still the beginning. It’s headed to a dark place.
This is exactly right.
They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.
Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.
But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks

At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

18 year terms means two justices per presidential term. Thomas and Alito will be the first to go, and neither party will be able to pack the court for decades.
It's a better and more permanent solution than packing the court, which most people will see as a power grab.

We can restore judicial independence and address the ethical failures that are eroding trust in the Supreme Court.
Reasonable term limits would do both by lowering the political stakes of each nomination while remaining consistent with the Constitution.
