Imagine knowing your political leader is mentally unstable, dangerous, and corrupt and refusing to admit it or do anything about it.
Now meet all GOP representatives and senators.

This is why America is supposed to have three co-equal branches of government.

Ending Haitian TPS would tear families apart and weaken our economy. The fact we have to fight to protect TPS at all is even more validation that cruelty and racism drive this administration's agenda.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

"With Closure, Kennedy Center Follows the Path of Trump Steaks, Trump Plaza, and Trump Vodka"

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."

He’s been through so much. They shouldn’t have made him fly the plane too.

also, here's your reminder that even "moderate" R's like Cox claims to be still don't hesitate to put their thumb on the scale for their party when it suits them

This is some very good news. Hope for America.

Yep it finally started!

Except in Raleigh, where we have absolutely no snow at this time.

Not saying anything about Will, but couldn’t anyone get into a 20 min argument about a Gloomhaven rule? I mean, really, some of those rules are 🤯🤯🤯

Lots of these takes going around and all of them are... exactly right.

If elected Democrats stop pushing will be right back here doing the same thing in a different city.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

It’s well understood:

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Let me say up front that I am opposed to guns and the gun culture of the US. Much stronger laws and controls are needed. But right now we have the gun culture and the second amendment supporters, many of whom supported Trump. But now under Trump we are facing the loss of democracy and the onset

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

1/ The Trump Administration talks about using the Insurrection Act to impose its vision on Americans. But there's a problem: they and Conservatives in general fundamentally misunderstand who actually serves in the US military.

Thune could easily pass the rest of the budget and have a stand alone debate and vote on the DHS budget. It's up to him if he wants to shut down multiple agencies.

For Trump, the Truth in Minneapolis Is What He Says It Is

Cover the presidency, not the president. Center the truth, not what Trump says or supposedly thinks, especially when what he says is false and what he feels or thinks is irrelevant. "For Trump" only muddles the story.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Obviously fixing this is only a tiny part of the solution, but notable that CBP is inherently broken—built to be exclusively violent losers and LEO washouts—while ICE is built to be rudderless as an agency (and mostly losers).

No good reason to keep either agency or any of their personnel.

There is far more outrage from tech leaders over a wealth tax than masked ICE agents terrorizing communities and executing civilians in the streets. Tells you what you need to know about the values of our industry.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

This cannot be said often enough. And loud enough.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.
