I donβt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatβs happening now look like childβs play. And people are disappearing.

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this countryβs history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to βthe leftβ and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Please fix this headline, @financialtimes.com. There was _no_ meltdown from Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It was the allies of PutinβTrump and Vanceβwho melted down while a TASS reporter they invited into the Oval Office looked on to report back to the Kremlin.
