I really hate that politics in the US consist of one party trying to do as much harm as possible and the other trying to stop you from being able to do anything about it

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre

beautiful. it's what cartel politics produces. the dear leader can't be blamed but he's noem's only real direct superior. so noem has to find someone else to take her heat which diminishes her own power and increases miller's even if he's not supposed to have any over her. its pure grima wormtongue

YESSSS

Kavanaugh is a monster

start asking your primary candidates difficult questions!! Will you work to codify Bivens? To eliminate qualified immunity? Will you vote for Jeffries to remain Speaker? Will you support prosecutions of federal agents found to have violated the Constitution?

the bodyguard was less protecting her than him at that point.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

its like the cars from richard scarry's busytown

so uhh which one of the reforms keeps the ice goons from storming foreign consulates?

Storming a consulate is, I’m pretty sure, an act of war.

as we all know penguins are lone creatures that do not amass in tremendous numbers to survive the harshest conditions on the planet. they do this alone and by making solitary choices.

fascinating that this is all largely a self-made crisis. incredible self-immolation

bars

any literature out there that interprets Johnson v. M’Intosh less as a property case than as a jurisdictional case?

having my two senators be moody and scott is crazy because one is a wordless back-bencher and the other defrauded our healthcare system and continues to get re-elected

spectacular.

binkiecels are seething because of teethingchads

Philip Glass’s Akhnaten was a spiritual experience for me and the Met’s production was probably the greatest work of performance art I’ve ever seem

Genuinely cant think of anything more degrading or embarrassing than getting snubbed by america’s greatest living composer

Philip Glass boycotting the Kennedy Center Philip Glass boycotting the Kennedy Center Philip Glass boycotting the Kennedy Center Philip Glass Philip Glass Philip Glass Philip Glass Philip Glass boycotting the Kennedy Center

How about personal liability of officers for legal and constitutional violations?

This is, quite simply, a betrayal of everyone in Minnesota and elsewhere, that are putting their very lives on the line to rein in ICE.

theres just inherent comedy in switching greg gruppenfuhrer bovino for tom moneybags homan

it's like the VA and NJ democratic victories again, where the people literally score a tremendous victory only to be rewarded with this man capitulating on a funding fight

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

A federal judge in Chicago has denied a summary judgment motion from Foley & Lardner, so the BigLaw firm will be headed to trial on claims that it discriminated against a Muslim Arab attorney by rescinding her job offer for pro-Palestinian statements. 1/2 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

all power and glory to this lady in particular. may her days be blessed.

The people of Minneapolis just won the first battle in the fight against fascism

so they sent Homan to MN; Noem managed to keep her job; and somehow Bovino got canned. i need the insider's scoop on these conversations.

and im commenting again so this appears twice on my feed

We need a statute, yesterday, that does three things: 1. Codifies Bivens (allowing suits against federal officials who violate constitutional rights) 2. Eliminates qualified immunity (so they can't hide behind it) 3. Retroactively extends the statute of limitations on all constitutional torts.

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

On the other side, Katie Miller (wife of WH policy architect Stephen Miller) is out there describing commitment to "classical liberal democracy" -- something you might remember from civics class as the founding ideal of this country -- as an indicator of "woke and deeply leftist ideology."

There's no way you can follow right-wing discussions and not fear that if, ICE withdraws from Minneapolis, a small but heavily armed group of people may say that, since the Globalists have sold us out again, we have to start shooting the invaders ourselves now.

It is the collegiality of authoritarianism, and it is not lost on me that ever. One. Of. Ilan’s. Positions. Serve an authoritarian administration. As above, so below.

“Wtfiu?”

The murder of Alex Pretti might prove to be a political turning point for the GOP. It should be a turning point for Dems, too. For the current leadership, and the consultant-industrial complex, which just fatally endangered the careers of seven members who chose to put morality last.

we are strong

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

When you transparently abuse your academic credentials to give a patina of legitimacy to lawless power for purposes of self-promotion, you waive the presumption of collegiality that good-faith disagreement is owed. Wurman is currying favor in the guise of scholarship and mad people won't play along.

in the domestic violence analogy, this is the part where dad has to come up with excuses as to why the 5 year old has two broken arms and wants to make sure you know he works really long hours

Ive mentioned before that Wurman is more postmodernist and law-skeptical than a critical legal theorist. Nothing is established. Nothing is legal truth for him.

Codify Bivens.

look i suggest nothing but legislators have legislative immunity
