I’ve harped on this for years but the reason there’s a seemingly (or at least relatively) “low” amount of corruption in US politics is because we’ve legalized all of it.

This is why I want Congress to conduct a criminal investigation on this issue: the failure to fully investigate Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s death was just the tip of the spear. The Trump Administration DOJ and FBI have not been conducting ANY investigations on officer-involved shootings.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

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.

Which does not mean backing off, but pushing harder. All these people need to go to prison, at the least. We learned from Jan 6 that we need to jail everyone right up to the top, or they just come back after being pardoned by the worst president in American history.

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.

All three living Democratic presidents have said nothing about any of this. I don’t mean just today, I mean any of it. Obama’s last two tweets are about basketball and wishing his wife happy birthday. Nothing on Renee Good who was murdered 17 days ago

Mister Rogers said “look to the helpers.” Feds murder the helpers

It was Pretti’s altruism that the state found offensive enough to murder him for.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Bread is expensive and the circus is cancelled

Where is Amy Klobuchar? If she wants to be Governor, go earn it today.

Today’s assault and murder makes me even more angry at all the “don’t take the bait let’s turn the temperature down” rhetoric from state leaders. We can’t just let them murder people like this

At the very least every Democratic officeholder or candidate should be calling for the impeachment and/or arrest of Noem, Homan, and Bovino. Bare minimum.

these are the 7 house democrats who voted to give ICE another $10 billion on thursday btw

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

I'm sorry, abolishing ICE is now off the table as the centrist compromise. The floor is now The Hague.

I supported a government shutdown in March 2025 & September 2025, but I was on board as of Tuesday with letting a DHS appropriations bill pass b/c I supported the appropriations process. Now, I would turn to the Democratic caucus and say: let her rip. The appropriations budget for ICE should be O.

Hilariously, they did it. Or at least said they did it. The DNC chair announced the creation of a "people's cabinet" back in early April. It was essentially never heard from again.

Tear this shit down like it's Baghdad 2003

they’re not going to be satisfied until they kill again none of these agents have a shred of humanity

If you’re calling for ICE to “get out of our state” without also demanding its abolition, you’re just saying you want them to kill people somewhere else.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV. The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence. This is not protection. This is occupation.

If there are *any* Democrats in Congress who will still vote to keep funding this administration when it is using that money to terrorize our cities and refusing to allow congressional representatives their clear right to observe their activities, then those reps need to be primaried into retirement

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

whats missing from all the coverage is that the president is using the military to harass, brutalize and punish areas of the country that didnt vote for him

public grief interferes with ongoing production/consumption and the profits of billionaires and can lead to questioning the political order, so our “leaders” try to limit its expression

Congress can force ICE to release documents like these at any time, but doesn't because they do not do their jobs

not getting shot in the face by a government thug after dropping your kid off at a school is a kitchen table issue, probably the most talked about issue at kitchen tables right now honestly

my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

it’s very funny to be asked what you like about Trump’s policies and say that you like his demolition of the East Wing

The best moment in the History of the Word Caucasian came in a series of Supreme Court cases during the immigration panic of the 1920s. The Naturalization Act of 1790 said that only "white" people could be naturalized as American citizens, but that only raised questions about what counted as white?

sTaTe'S RiGhTs

we have to make supreme court expansion a 2028 nominee litmus test, we have to get every candidate on the record about what their plan is to rein in this rogue court of unaccountable ideologues

The Supreme Court isn’t legitimate and probably won’t be in my lifetime unless the klansmen are kicked out. They are proudly corrupt. The branch might as not exist

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

Bingo. And imagine the Democratic politician who said this did so as he sat next to the podcaster's assassin whom he reminded everyone was his close personal friend

This same group has done this before and will do it again. Traitors.

Resign.

Schumer said the Dems will "keep fighting". Keep fighting their own voters? Keep fighting off effectiveness? Keep fighting being held accountable for anything? As far as I can tell the Democratic leadership is good at one thing only now, which is sending fundraising messages to my phone.

This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame: Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?
