This lead would be bigger if leadership would announce they're not funding ICE later this month and support impeachment of Kristi Noem. These aren't radical positions.
A new CNN poll finds Democrats with a 5-point lead on the generic congressional ballot, and they're ahead by 16 among people who are deeply motivated to vote.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

Its crazy the gradual increase of pleas we've made to ICE
Hey can you wear a name tag?
Hey do you have a warrant
Hey can you please not wear masks?
Hey can you please not murder us?

The hell with training, that organization doesn't need to exist anymore.

BRENNAN: What percentage of those you have in custody have committed crimes?

NOEM: 70% of them

B: It's not 70%

N: Yes it is. You guys pick and choose numbers

B: Your agency says 47% have criminal convictions

N: Wrong again. We'll get you the correct numbers

B: Well, that's from your agency

Who’s going to enforce it? Because until authorities are brave enough to enforce this ruling, we’re going to keep seeing this abuse.

This is who they are when the cameras are on. Imagine who they are when they think no one’s watching.

Republicans insisting the Clintons testify about what’s in the Epstein Files instead of just releasing the Epstein Files is peak idiocy.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

"Terrorism" refers to violence to achieve political ends. Research studies showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes means that ICE's actions are about Trump's racist politics, not law. That means ICE operates as a de facto racialized terrorist organization, not unlike the Gestapo.

The markets did everything they could to hold steady in the face of the Jerome Powell subpoenas, but I’m not sure they’ll do well with this news.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

The Constitution was meant to protect the people from the government. Trump is using it to protect the government from the people.

Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

If you’re a Democrat and your position is anything less than abolishing and prosecuting Trump’s secret police, then you are complicit and enabling fascism through thine cowardice.

First, he threatens to take Greenland by force, now he is threatening to tariff anyone who stands in his way.

First, he claimed tariffs were a way to fix the so-called trade imbalance.

Now he’s openly using them to bully the free world.

Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland.

This is mad king shit.
