Remember when Trump demanded the petroleum industry give $1B to his campaign fund?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ffs Hakeem - what is wrong with you, seriously! We’re angry and scared and you’re acting like you’re in a debate challenge. All to appease your mega donors or your paid, uninformed consultants? ffs!
Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

Putting aside Lindsey Graham’s eagerness to undermine his own institution, after Nixon vetoed the War Powers Act in 1973, Congress overrode him.
House vote: 284-135
Senate vote: 75-18
In both instances, the majorities were bipartisan. (Many liberal Dems balked and said it didn’t go far enough.)

Also, the guy who killed someone dropped an F bomb. So the only difference between him and Frey is killing someone.
WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?
FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
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."
