Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Who’s next?

One demotion cannot detract from accountability.

Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

Bill Maher is a man who is watching his entire bankrupt worldview get crushed into oblivion by fascists on one side and well-meaning leftists on the other and I know it's a small thing but I take great pleasure in that

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Historically once it gets below 35% that's when you get into realignment territory

Bovino retreating from Minnesota per CNN's Priscilla Alvarez

i've heard at least two people are considering primarying suozzi btw

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

The last shutdown made him go down 4 points in the net average iirc, hopefully if that happens again he falls into the negative 20s

AOC: "This really isn't just about Democrats. This is about Democrats, Republicans, and independents. There has been this permission structure where we have all universally accepted that the GOP will simply just have no morals, or fall in line, and we have to challenge that logic and rhetoric."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Him voting for that wouldn't stop that from happening, it's just a lame excuse people use to justify democrats acting like republicans

He's not even running for reelection though, he's just doing it for the love of the game

Like, this only works if you're stuck in July/August 2024 and pretend nothing else happened after that

None of that is true

I don't Harris is going to be much of a factor on wether AOC runs or not

Imo it's either going to be Newsom or AOC. I do think Newsom can win but I don't think he's at all invincible, he's a weak front runner in a relatively divided field

“If we oppose the gestapo, the GOP will keep accusing us of being anti police. You know, the thing they've always done and will always keep doing no matter what”

It's also shortsighted given that probably neither of them will win the nomination (plus Walz likely isn't running)

Yw!

Yes

EXACTLY

Just to give an idea of how much that is, the enthusiasm gap in 2010 was R+15

66% of Dems are enthusiastic to vote in 2026 as opposed to 44% Reps, it's an enthusiasm gap of D+22

that’s right

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:

—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.

These will all go to 2026 referendums.
