admin position is that any crossing outside port of entry is criminal. So this reduces nothing. more smoke screen to bamboozle Senate Dems. Plus ICE/CBP just ignore it anyway.

New on @puck.news Susan Collins announced today that Noem has "ended" ICE operations in Maine. This was a crucial victory for her as ICE is the latest of a long list of political headaches as she is expected to gear up for another reelection bid. puck.news/inside-susan...

Perhaps @senatedemocrats.bsky.social might want to pivot to impeaching Trump and Vance instead of asking for ICE reforms that ICE will just ignore.

Direct attention away from Trump. He is a monster who will never change. He lies abut reform. Focus on his enablers & defenders in Congress. I think enough can be convinced to impeach and remove him and Vance.

The Battle of Minneapolis is far from over. But Trump... flinched. The People are doing what the law and the Democrats cannot: defending thier rights and the rights of others. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Hey @chmnmendelson.bsky.social DC needs alternate side parking during snow emergencies. 1st night one side of a street is closed. 2nd it switches. Then plows clear the whole street rather than a strip down the middle which they replow to no effect. Open garages for free to get cars off roads.

It seems clear Trump and Vance are reacting to the negative reaction to the ICE killing, but not to the killing itself. Trump and Vance immediately defended ICE and will continue to demonize protestors. Removing ICE and CBP leaders may change tactics slightly but not strategy.

I think that may be true. I’m shocked that the calls for impeachment are staying mostly focused on DHS and not the president overseeing the whole thing.

The march to fascism may pause or slow down briefly, but it doesn't end until Trump and his minions are totally and completely gone. He must be impeached and removed.

To my Republican colleagues who know better but remain silent in the face of mounting violence and corruption, I ask this sincerely: why did you come to Congress? Was it to defend the Constitution, the rule of law, and the people you represent, or to look the other way when it becomes inconvenient?

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

If any elected Republican says the didnt see what happened show them this. If any wont acknowledge the tyranny and support impeaching and removing Trump and Vance unelect them and never forget.

That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality. And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I remember being taught (or thinking) as a kid that most of the people of the Soviet Union were good and kind. Only their leaders were brutalists. I now only hope that until we unelect or impeach this regime, the rest of the world will remember that about us.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

horrible. Be thankful ICE isn’t in your neighborhood And thankful the people of Minnesota are acting the way we all hope we would act in the face of tyramy. More lives will be lost.

What a statement of moral clarity. “The life of a professional player is not worth more than the lives of countless people in various regions who are being directly or indirectly attacked or threatened by the World Cup host,” he said.” www.politico.eu/article/germ...

If Trump’s behavior is not impeachable then what is?

Impeach and convict Trump Then Impeach and convict Trump Stop at President Grassley.

This needs to lead the news every night until the thugs stop.

The filler should have said to ICE, “Right back at you, dude. Unlike your terror tactics, our protests are legal, constitutional and will prevail.”

DC Dems have poorly ceded the law & order mantra on immigration. Asylum is a legal way to seek residency. Asylum outside established ports is lawful, but for small fine Rs don't want to fix asylum laws, b/c they'd rather lie, demonize & terrorize POC to win elections. www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/u...

And the enablers and supporters....

Trump is not -- and has not been for some time -- the problem in the US. The members of Congress who refuse to impeach and remove him are. And the people who continue to elect those members will be.

Get ready for every Republican in congress to start worrying about the deficit again when Dems win the midterms.

Only notes. Replace “now is the time” to “we should have admitted 1.5, 5, 10? years ago” www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

The issue with the US isn’t Trump. It is the astonishing number of enablers, apologists and grifters that empower him.

Ha. Our country looks like something from another country. www.bbc.com/news/article...

As we succumb to the prevailing "Citizen" versus "Immigrant" narrative pushed by the administration, remember that shooting Renee Good would have been just as wrong if Renee Good were not a citizen.

When this nightmare ends, we will look back and wonder why people took so long to recognize our government had become a dictatorship.

There is at least a linear correlation b/w what is actually in the Epstein files about Trump & the lawlessness of the Trump administration. It might even by cubic or quartic with Epstein files the independent variable. That is scary for both what's in the Epstein files & the fate of the country.

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump? When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

Shocking how this narrative becomes treated as fact. BIDEN DID NOT WEAPONIZE DOJ. DOJ investigated credible reports of criminal activity. Trump was investigate because he had classified documents at mar a lago and incited an insurrection. DOJ was obliged to investigate.

I have no doubt anymore that Trump wants Greenland because he keeps seeing it on a map with a Mercator projection and thinks it is the biggest land mass in the world.

If there is any doubt that we are in an autocratic regime.….. This is insane and all but a few Republicans in office are responsible for it too. And everyone who voted for Trump. This is what he said he would do.

While the number of Trump enablers and supporters of his lies and fascism flabbergasts and depresses me, the acts of courage and defiance are uplifting.

“Responsible Elected Official: Yes. It is fair to say that. In a civil, democratic society police are required to show restraint and minimize the use of force against people who break the laws and resist arrest.“ Fixed it.

Watching them all fall in line to brazenly lie to protect their new secret police/terror squads from accountability for shooting a scared mom in the face 3 times, is a reminder (in case we still needed one) that it’s no where near enough to just replace Trump. It’s the entire immoral & corrupt GOP.

The Epstein files must be really damning to Trump given everything the WHI, MAGA House and Senate are doing to distract and harass people living here.

Imagine if people came to the defense of immigrants in this country being harassed, unjustly prosecuted, arrested and smeared only half as much as people are for Jerome Powell.

In case there was any doubt -- Sean Hannity is a fascist. Having Bovino on your show to say "Hats off" to the ICE agent who killed Renee Good and not denouncing that statement makes you an enabler and supporter of a fascist and hence a fascist. This is not "owning the libs". This is fascism.

Or nuke plants

If you are not repulsed, scared or sickened by videos like this then you are on the side of the fascists and autocrats, which makes you a fascist or autocrat. www.rawstory.com/renee-good-2...

I get that this is pendantic, but DOJ does not determine whether some is a criminal. A court determines that, usually through a jury.

With the increasing armament given to civilian law enforcement post 9/11 , Trump realized he doesn't need the military on US streets. The restrictions on US military in domestic activity is moot. You get terror with heavily armed, military camouflaged, ICE agents. @dieworkwear.bsky.social

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

And a coward.
