Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.
A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers by denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown.
How to win friends and influence people.

Coons: "The government is assessing the authority to summarily kill people....in the Caribbean. Congress has never authorized such a use of military force...How did you conclude that these strikes on boats or ships in the open ocean are legal?"

All these headlines saying βBondi Goes on the Attack.β Really? She wasnβt in the octagon, sheβs a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Thereβs a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.
You donβt get to punish people for doing their jobs just because youβre failing at yours.
Perhaps youβve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deportβ¦the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

On Day 1 of the Republican Shutdown, I requested that my pay be withheld.
~750K federal workers are now working for free. Youβd think Republicans would feel bad about that.
Instead, theyβre suggesting *not* paying furloughed workers what theyβre owedβin violation of a law TRUMP signed in 2019!
It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants."
My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is?
The people lying to you about immigrants.
After yelling and obfuscating to senators for hours, Dick Durbin hit her with this one: "Eventually you are going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will." Suddenly, she went SILENT.π₯ She knows.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.
I think the better question would have been:
"Pamela Jo, as a fellow taker of bribes, in your case from Donald Trump to shut down your Florida AG investigation of Trump University's consumer fraud, did you approve the shutting down of the bribery investigation into Homan?"
South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion
Meaningβif a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executedπ
