Wow. This was on FOXNEWS.

Noah Smith contains multitudes 🤷‍♂️

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment? CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."

What Bill is displaying here is the courage to form his opinions about things directly, not just through his identity label as intermediary "What do I think," as opposed to "what do I, as a conservative, think?"

I mean, that’s a pretty good line

We should applaud Democratic officials who didn't "wait and see" after killing of Renee Good by Trump's ICE and instead loudly slammed this as murder. Result was Trump/MAGA didn't get to control narrative like usual. That's why MAGA world has been so outraged. We need more of this from Democrats!

This “policy” is contrary to law

Let's call this McClellanism. One of the biggest problems with Union civil war generals is that, after a big battle, they would look at their own disorganized and depleted forces and assume that the Confederates were in much better shape. That scared them, so they would retreat.

Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

Really this is something we need to stop accepting and working to correct and its a much more viable reform idea than "abolishing the police".

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday announced an effort to expand child care across the state, including a free program for 2-year-olds in New York City starting in the fall.

I’ve taught midwestern university students for over 20 years and this kid is exactly why I love doing it.

In all seriousness, when Daniel Perry shot and killed Garret Foster in Austin in 2020, we figured out who Perry was and we were watching his social media posts get deleted in real time WHILE he was allegedly in APD's custody. Fortunately we archived them in the Wayback Machine before he did it.

AMAZING

Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes

When I said that one of the things that's going to happen is that regular state and local law enforcement are going to be partially valorized as part of the project of dismantling ICE and CBP, this is what I was talking about

In the spirt of trying to read things first I did and unfortunately its paywalled so I couldn’t confirm the details, but the available text just sights “negotiators” which does not have to mean Democrats.

Reporter: Senator Chris Murphy has a 3-pronged proposal to try to rein in ICE. He wants DHS to obtain a warrant for interior arrests. He wants Border Patrol to stay at the border. And he says DHS officials must wear identification and stay unmasked during enforcement operations.

The reason Colbert would make a better politician than Stewart is that, even with 10 years of being a fake person under his belt, Colbert actually turns off the smarmy

The dude took a razor blade to the bible and cut out all the miracles

Oh my God they really are justifying a murder on a woman being Mean.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

This is right, but I'd add that #1 is only unclear because of a pretty perverse line of authority that doesn't need to be that way.

For right-wingers who want to preserve any sort of public career in a post-Trump reality without being constantly haunted by their past disgrace, "Renee Good's murder is a bridge too far for me" is one of the easiest off-ramps in the world. I think we should take note of who declines to use it.

This might have been the one piece of really relevant non-testimonial evidence that the feds might actually have been able to stonewall for either a criminal or civil case Speaking of which, if you are not participating in such a case you don’t need to watch this video, I shall simply trust Chris

Newly-released footage reveals Renee Nicole Good’s last words.

If you need an escape from this hell, this year's Vienna Philharmonic New year's concert recording is out and its always a fun listen!

Remember, when Vance was caught spewing racist lies that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets, he admitted that "if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do." Proudly, openly a liar.

Also: you CANNOT fucking pull a gun on someone while filming on your fucking cell phone. If as a LEO your judgment is the situation has reached the point where deadly force may be warranted & you need your gun out, not having your full attention on it is at BEST depraved indifference to human life

Alas not implausible

They’re leaking the video because the end goal of all of this has been triggering riots, I genuinely believe

Vance leaked that video because he thinks that he can shape the narrative and control it. If it comes out before he shares and tells people what to think about it, everyone sees what he doesn’t want people to see: She is dead because of ICE.

obviously it doesn’t feel good to realize that hundreds of thousands of Americans fantasize about murdering many of the people around them, under the banner of the US flag, but it seems double not-good to try to _not_ remember that fact.

I genuinely do not know how we can live in world where so many people either believe that video is exonerating or are so broken inside as to be able to lie to others so willfully that it is.

Alpha News is a far-right site run by the wife of the former head of the Minneapolis police union. Whoever leaked this to them thinks it makes Ross look good. Which is just astonishing.

We are in the upside down

Are they just funking morons? Im not sure how anything there is exculpatory.

Ken is absolutely right. My concern about the state of affairs in MN has not been the lack of a charge as yet but the issues regarding whether and to what extent MN authorities are or will be conducting a separate investigation from the federal ones.

👇🏽

So apparently there is an alleged video showing the actual shooting. Highly recommend turning off video auto play immediately.

Important: Minneapolis killing should lead Dems to draw a much harder line against *any* ICE funding in budget talks, Swalwell/Goldman agree. "I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says. A Dem House should be for defunding. newrepublic.com/article/2051...

Frey: "I think [Vance] also asserted that because you work at the federal government you somehow have absolutely immunity from committing crimes. That's not true in any law school in America, whether it's Yale or Villanova or anywhere else. That's not true."

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

THIS 100% ! Its also a problem FWIW in the leftmost circles around needing to win via class/econ policies. People will point to Mamdani as a counter but IMO the main thing there was the nature of the messaging first and the exact message/policies second, but it is very interrelated.
