If there’s one thing he understands at this point, it’s sleeping.
There is exactly one thing.
Every time you say "reform" instead of "abolish" ICE, another American gets radicalized into fulling defunding the police, as they realize the whole carceral system was always the enemy & that state violence is still violence.
You just keep on saying "reform," appeasers. I like where this is going.
Mike Johnson has repeatedly rejected the results of the 2020 election. I wish a journalist would ask him about his plans for defending this resistance to President Biden's authority to The Almighty. He'd pretend to be confused, sure, but it would be fun to watch.
Seeing the Pope in the Epstein files would be like seeing Cal Ripken pitching for your kids’ Little League team. Sure, the activity is the same, but the players on his usual team have been doing it a lot longer. They’re not even playing on the same level.
Once you realize that "legal" and "illegal" are largely arbitrary, socially constructed concepts (I don't mean people, I mean, behaviors like "crossing the street" and "downloading music") it's a small step to "we can totally just make 'being a billionaire' illegal."
A competent Senator could attach an amendment to any DHS funding bill that repeals 287(g). That way, *when* (not if) Schumer caves on it and Fetterman votes for it, local law enforcement could still be prevented from cooperating with ICE and CBP.
Me: What’s going on in math class?
Child: We finished parabolas and started the quadratic equation, which is really fun! I love quadratic equations.
I don’t understand him, but I love him.
From your lips to One Above All’s ears.
A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
Already living inside Malfunction, but ain’t we all?
After that, make it Intertwined. Maybe The Ballad of Delilah Moreno.
@schiff.senate.gov This is how you do it, Senator. This is what it means to represent California in this moment. Take notes.
Thank you Rep. Thompson for using your platform, voice, and vote.
“Defund ICE” was the right position six months ago. Reality has moved and you’re still playing catch-up. We were right then, and we’re right now:
Abolish DHS.
Prosecute CBP, ICE, & Miller.
Impeach Nome & Bovino.
If you’re not out in front of this, Senator, you’re already behind.
This description is both unnecessarily kind to Newsom and unfairly maligning of circus peanuts. Sure, they're both tasteless, totally devoid of value, and exposure to them will make you sick, but at least the peanuts aren't transphobic.
If you really want a white man as a candidate for 2028, may I recommend Van Hollen over noted MAGA-friendly transphobic circus peanut Gavin Newsom.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was the victim’s name.
He was a nurse.
ICE executed a nurse.

If they’re worried about defining FEMA (funds FEMA will never see under this admin), why not attach an amendment to the DHS funding bill that abolishes ICE and moves all the money appropriated for that agency last year to FEMA? Then attach it to every bill this year.
Yes! And it gets started with you voting NO on all of his nominees, judicial appointments and bills, even if you like them. So maybe you could stop enabling him at some point? Any time, now, Senator.
As a USAdian, I say “I would love…” or “Can I get…” Sometimes even “A … would rock my world right now.”
Was it for the biggest? I always thought the Knobel Penis Prize was reserved not for the largest, but rather the most upstanding members of society. There must be different categories.

“I’m a bot.” - my kid just now, after doing something bone-headed.
I hadn’t heard this GenZ slang before, and I love it.
@mikethompson.house.gov I know you’re not part of this caucus. You’re a Blue Dog, but the time for bipartisanship has passed. Please join efforts like these. Progressive leadership is our only path forward right now. Where are you on this proposal?
Yes! Thank you for being vocal about this. Now let’s defund, dismantle, and abolish ICE, then prosecute every person who has ever worked there for kidnapping and child trafficking, for a start.
@reptedlieu.bsky.social When you say they can’t trample rights, but agency heads say they can and should kill anyone who says no to them, who will agents follow?
What would make you say Abolish ICE? Do they have to shoot a rep? Because they will. It’s coming.
Dismantle.
Prosecute.
Abolish.
I'm really worried people are going to crawl up into the comments and clown on you for this.
Henry Kissinger earned a Nobel Peace Prize for starting a war & then ending it. That's how USAdians do it. Roosevelt, Wilson, Marshall, Obama: lots of pro-war Yanks have gotten one. Trump might be the first to get it like he's robbing a 7-11 though: "Gimme the peace prize and I might let you live."
“Because it’s Wednesday.”
I like you, Mike. I’m usually glad to be your constituent, but you need to get out in front of this on impeachment or step aside for someone who will.
If Dems don’t use this illegal invasion and kidnapping to push for a trial, they *will* be primaried and they will lose. Be the leader we deserve.
If I know my local bank manager does a ton of cocaine and beats his wife, does that give me the right to rob the bank? If Trump is not impeached, the answer is obviously YES.
“Maduro is a terrible person” is a non-sequitur. It’s irrelevant to whether it was legal, or moral, to invade.
