Consistently useless.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Man tackled to ground after spraying unknown substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar at town hall in Minneapolis.

On House procedure: any member can force a vote on impeachment (or anything relating, appointing managers etc.), but Jeffries as minority leader has a special privilege: he can force a privileged vote on the floor immediately, right then, rather than within two days like anyone else can do.

Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski become the first Republicans in Congress to call for Kristi Noem to resign

Gov Hochul: “No one is above the law — no one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not the President of the United States— Make no mistake, when these ppl who have abused the power entrusted to them by their offices are finally out of power, states, including NY, will hold them accountable”

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

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.

we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Cardinal Tobin “employed some of the strongest language yet by a U.S. cardinal to condemn the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, describing Immigration and Customs Enforcement ‘lawless’ and urging Catholics to tell their lawmakers to vote against additional funding.”

he should not get a pension

Suozzi knew ICE had overstepped its bounds and funded them anyway. Now he wants credit for belatedly acknowledging that mattered, with zero obligation to act.

Shutdowns offend Susan Collins more than ICE killing Americans in the street. Got it. Maine, you don’t have to return this geriatric doormat to the Senate in 2027. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

During a recent interview with New York Magazine, President Donald Trump had "an unfortunately timed" memory lapse when struggling to remember the name of a disease perhaps best known for memory loss, The Daily Beast reported Monday.

John Fetterman’s wife Gisele posted this in response to last week’s killing by federal agents in Minneapolis. Incredibly, the senator himself has not yet said anything publicly or issued any statements.

Help us beat the last remaining Dem congressman who voted AGAINST the Affordable Care Act (oh, and Rep. Stephen Lynch also voted to "thank ICE" and expand deportations in a safe blue Massachusetts seat). Proud to endorse @patrickroath.bsky.social! Chip in 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/lwdwe...

Gov. Walz: "You heard the most powerful people in the world, certainly in this country — the president, VP, Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem — narrate to you what you were looking at, that this was a domestic terrorist…sullying his name within minutes of his death."

'Reined in' from this guy. Keeping a list so we'll know who passes this thing with "guardrails" instead of abolish.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA-17) is not just calling on the Senate to reject the DHS funding bill, but is also calling on Congress to enact actual consequences for ICE’s illegal activities.

I made this account with the intent of helping people shame dems into doing something, but I feel like people also need to be aware of how the GOP is reacting, especially those of us that are little blue dots.

Tina Peters is serving 9 years for her role in breaching election integrity. As a CO county clerk, she abused her role to tamper with election equipment and shared sensitive data to prove “the big lie”. She was convicted on 7 counts (4 felonies). At sentencing, the judge said she showed no remorse.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

Sen. Angus King, an independent that caucuses with democrats, represents Maine.

Nevada’s Sen. Jacky Rosen calling for Kristi Noem’s removal from office.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

Michael Che on SNL: "I get that I.C.E. Agents are people, allegedly. And they have a job to do. But at some point, while you're pepper spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, do you ever stop and ask yourself, are we dicks?"

Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

Why does ABC think we need the Treasury Secretary’s interpretation of ICE’s extrajudicial killing of a civilian?

I find this language really gross. First off, it's weak as hell. But second, if your demand is simply that ICE leaves Minnesota, that's just telling them to go to another state to terrorize people. These centrist squishes need to push for full abolition of ICE.

We need more officials speaking out like Rep. Seth Moulton (MA-06). He’s not just saying yesterday was a step too far. He wants to see consequences. He wants to see prosecutions. Here’s hoping enough of his colleagues feel the same way and aren’t scared to say so. youtube.com/shorts/hyqtA...

Same guidelines apply to our elected officials. Just because a statement came from a government agency doesn’t mean it is guaranteed to be true. If there are issues with the veracity of an agency’s statement, use your legislative/executive power to investigate and do something about it.

dear @facethenation.bsky.social @meethepress.com 🇨🇦 we all saw 2 executions.Renee Good. Alex Pretti. interviewing known liars of the criminal regime without calling out their lies is wrong. insults the dead and their families. 💔 #ICEout #MinnesotaStrong

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Sen. Dick Durbin, another one of the 8 Democratic YES votes on Nov funding bill, is a NO on this DHS measure: “I will not vote to fund the illegal DHS and ICE operations that terrorize Chicago, Minneapolis, and many other communities.” This bill doesn’t have the votes.

YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents** substack.com/@gelliottmor...

FRANKLIN, TN pastor Kevin Riggs changes his profile pic to “ABOLISH ICE” and challenges other Evanglical pastors to do the same. www.facebook.com/share/p/1HZh...

This is really something. Mark Warner, one of the more moderate and cautious senators in the Dem caucus, says he'll vote No on ICE funding:

I hope Schumer actually means it this time, because I still remember when he went on TV to pretend he was standing firm on the last shutdown, then the whole Dem Senate caved in the very fucking next day.

"If unchecked, Operation Metro Surge will only continue to inflict irreparable harms and wreak havoc on Plaintiffs and their residents. ... Emergency relief is not only warranted, it is essential."

Chuck? Chuck got it right?

Reminder that just 2 days ago, 7 House Democrats joined 213 House Republicans by voting in favor of the $64.4 billion Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding. newrepublic.com/post/205604/...
