What? No, violating a court order is definitely illegal, and prosecutable as contempt of court. But more to the point, the discussion of the map referenced above is about the fact that a 100 mile border zone does very little to limit ICE activities because most people live within it.

Are you suggesting the proposal would/could explicitly limit the zone to less than the 100 miles? I think that's doable in theory but I imagine anything significant would be thorny for some of the Dems

If a journalist were to ask Trump himself, right now, if he wants protestors to die, he'd be like "well they sort of have it coming, I think we all agree that they're pretty much asking for it"

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

Someone in the GC: "It's almost not even snow, it's practically ice sand"

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

We’ve been reminding folks to shovel, and it’s caused a bit of a debate. A main reason we are pushing to do so early and often is that sleet is very heavy.

As of noon, D.C. had picked up 1.13 inches of liquid (melted snow/sleet) from this storm. That’s quite a lot in winter. (1/n?)

One of the two leading authors on the "scholarly" work arguing the 14th Amendment doesn't grant birthright citizenship, everyone:

I do think any run he'd attempt would be doomed. He's deeply unpopular even with Trump's base and I can't imagine any of the Democratic base going out to pull the lever for him in a general. If the moment is still deeply anti-Trump, I think any small slice of the center he gets would never be enough

See my earlier post about making Republicans afraid not to impeach. Keep being angry, keep putting pressure on them.

Sidenote: it also shows how they've known this administration is insane and evil all along and they're just spineless wretches who will only do the right thing when they're at risk.

Comer on Fox right now urging Trump to pull ICE out of Minneapolis to *punish* Minnesotans β€” will prove to the state how good it was to have ICE there! This is really some 5-D chess

Cynics are (probably correctly) saying that he's reading the tea leaves and positioning himself for a 2028 run as the "reasonable" Republican.

Do we know if he ever took any public stances on birthright citizenship when Trump pushed for ending it? Seems like that could bite him if he did.
