Durbin: "What's happening in Illinois is outrageous. To think they're going to federalize the Texas National Guard and send them into my state is not only necessary, it's almost criminal."

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

CNN: β€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 β€” 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

Well, he is transforming our country into an autocracy. But he could have also mean transactional? It’s sad our leader is so crazy people have to kiss his ass to keep their people safe.

So she’s basically answering no questions. Why can she not be held in contempt? Probably because the GOP leaders don’t care about accountability, just supporting rampage.

What Actually Works to Fight CrimeΒ  The administration’s plans to fight crime by dictating state bail policy or deploying the National Guard won’t build long-term safety, but there are many evidence-based ways to reduce crime.

Crime prevention works when it builds on community trust and evidence-based solutions, not performative displays of force. bit.ly/4neYVD1

Chad @Magendanz, #WA5thLD, was seen a few days ago meeting with Moms 4 Liberty.

Is he seeking their endorsement? Making promises 2 them 2 get their support? Suggesting books 2 ban?

Moms 4 Liberty banned Atwood's & Steinbeck's books. Chad's no moderate. Chad can't be trusted. #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

Being in the country illegally is not a felony, it is a misdemeanor.

ICE is terrorizing people over a misdemeanor!!
