I had seen the "hold me in contempt so I can sleep" line, but the whole transcript is striking. Julie Le she tried to quit but then stayed so she could get more people OUT of detention; and expressed concern that her own family might get picked up.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

That doesn’t sound like an answer. If you were in the senate what would you suggest that might actually be implemented? I don’t love this list, but I honestly don’t know that I could do better. I really don’t know man.

My bad, you’re right.

I agree, that would be amazing. Why does border patrol have riot control ordinances? Let’s make that number 11.

That’s number 1???????

I agree that the senate shouldn’t vote for any new nominees.

I don’t agree that he’s on an island. The Supreme Court majority definitely agrees with him. It’s 6-3 until it’s brought before the court.

That’s not true, you’re just saying that.

Agreed! And yet, Kavenaugh stops… what can the senate minority do about that?

I think you’re being a little reductive. What would you suggest they offer as alternative solutions to curtail abusive overreach?

That’s true! And yet Justice I Love Beer is a Supreme Court Justice. How do you imagine the senate democrats overrule that decision in a minority? What should they do?

2,3,4,7,8, and 10 are all meaningful sticking points. We will not be able to abolish ICE and hopefully DHS until 2029.

This Member of Congress finally got access to the Minneapolis detention center and her report is genuinely appalling. Please watch and share.

My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.

This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

It’s pretty far down most people’s list, but any responsible administration has got to yank this guy’s clearance.

A very significant vote. The $75 billion can be taken away; this marks a clear vote by the Democratic caucus to do so.
