Noem won't rule out ICE agents at polls She repeatedly refused to definitely say that agents would not patrol polls during midterms this November.

Although DHS Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that her agency currently had β€œno plans” to deploy ICE officers to the polls this November, she did not entirely rule it out.

In fact, Noem suggested it could be a viable option if Democrats somehow β€œplan on” having undocumented people vote.

Pa. Sens. Fetterman, McCormick vote against effort to rein in Trump’s war powers U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was the only Democrat in the Senate to vote against scaling back the war in Iran.

John Fetterman was the *only* "Democrat" to vote against reining in Donald Trump's unconstitutional attempts to start wars without Congressional approval. What a dick.

Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.

First US soldiers to die in Iran conflict are identified Four of the six - ranging in age from 20 to 42 - have been named after the drone strike in Kuwait.

They died to protect names in the Epstein Files.

Some results from last night:

-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats

Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.

Democrats don’t have to agree on everything. We just have to agree on one thing:

It’s time to win the general.

Thom Tillis is threatening to use procedural moves to shut down every Senate committe he's involved in if Kristi Noem does not respond to his inquiry

This is something the Democrats could have done at any point during the last 14 months, but chose not to

The Failures of β€œCentrism”
By moving to the so-called β€œcenter,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening ine The Failures of β€œCentrism”

As primary season kicks off today in North Carolina and Texas, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November.

Hogwash.

Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine.

Democrats say they won't relent on DHS funding demands because of Iran war Republicans have called on Democrats to drop their demands for changes to immigration enforcement due to the war. Democrats aren't buying their argument.

New: Democrats say they won't relent on DHS funding demands because of Iran war

"No," says ANGUS KING of GOP push.

OSSOFF, lone Dem running in Trump-won state, says agents "shouldn’t be assaulting or killing Americans with impunity."

Dynamic unchanged.

As did Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, Kim, Peters, Shaheen, and Slotkin among the Dems.

Tillis, like Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Rand Paul, & anyone else ostensibly still a "moderate" & "pro-democracy" GOP Senator, is welcome to caucus with the Democrats, giving them control of the Senate & actually fighting back against the authoritarianism, at any time.
