Women came forward with allegations against Eric Swalwellβand immediately, people questioned their timing. The question shouldnβt be βwhy now?β The question should be βwhy do we make it so hard for survivors to come forward?β

Itβs pretty rich that MAGA is trying to shame Democratic members of Congress for not knowing about the allegations against Eric Swalwell. They knew about the allegations against Donald Trump for years and still pushed him on America.

No one suspends campaigns over *false* allegations. So you obnoxious people making excuses for Swalwell and blaming the victims need to take seat and shut up.

Stay safe out there today - and buckle up. We will need actions that are way more disruptive than polite weekly protests. To be clear, those serve an important purpose, but they are by no means sufficient to effect the change we need.

Everybody loves a protest until you ask what actually changed. Folks pack the streets, raise voices, flood social media, and for a few hours it feels like power is shaking. Like history can be changed...

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Donald Trump took the United States to war today, killing Iranian school children and risking the lives of people in America's military. He is currently yucking it up at a fundraiser. He's a shallow, glib person without any regard for the serious consequences of his lies, scams, and incompetence.

Like his historical predecessors, Donald Trump has entered a death spiral. The more he loses power, the more he demands it. The most dangerous moment in any abusive relationship is when the victims decide to leave. That moment has arrived.

The more I think about it, the more Iβm 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 donβt go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

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.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Schumer, Jeffries and much of the current Democratic Party is not built for this fight or made for this moment. They've had 10 years. Just look at their actions. Trust your own eyes. We have to cull the party and replace the Vichy Dems with actual fighters and reformers. It's the only way.

As we await Senate action on the remaining spending bills, remember that Susan Collins could make a difference by stripping out DHS from the rest of the government funding bills. But she won't because she is just as MAGA as the rest of them.

Here comes the video analysis: - Pretti was shot 10 times after they took his gun - He never "brandished" the gun, assaulted an agent - They repeatedly pepper sprayed him at point blank range and beat him when he was down - He was attempting to help a woman who an agent threw to the ground (battery)

Also, may I say that I donβt agree with people saying ICE and CBP need βmore training.β Theyβre doing exactly what this administration has trained them toβimpose a reign of fear in blue cities. They donβt need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was βarmed with a gunβ. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired.
