Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

Ossoff: "Privately, most elected Republicans in this building think the president has lost it and is dooming them to dismal losses this fall"

Ossoff: "The abuses of federal power, the misconduct is unprecedented. That's why Donald Trump so deeply fears his impending losses in these midterms, because he recognizes that when there's a change in the balance of power, there will be real accountability imposed"

Most economic indicators are largely exogenous to the president, who in reality has few levers and typically unfairly gets blame or credit. But for the very few levers the president actually has, Trump has made them all worse. Tariffs and the Iran war were both self-inflicted.

AOC on Trump’s Thursday address: I don’t think we should be contributing to the platforming of lies about our elections. Many of these outlets often receive transcripts, and I think we have an ethical obligation not to air things that undermine our elections and are not rooted in fact.

This. Abolish ICE is not enough. "Secure" borders and no accessible legal pathways mean my friends and I will be finding human remains of people who came here asking us for help for years to come, this is not a world any of us should want to live in.

SCOOP: A 28-year-old man running from “an encounter” with federal immigration agents at a gas station in St. Augustine, Fla., was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer on Tuesday morning, according to a state highway patrol spokesman.

The news should be covering ICE like a serial killer on the loose

.@AOC is right. This is not a surprise. This is cause and effect. Democrats stopped withholding funding for ICE and now Trump’s thugs are back to murdering civilians in broad daylight. We have to abolish ICE. And how we’re going to get there is stopping the funding.

Hottest country in the world!

wrote about why ICE keeps killing people. it's because they're part of a pretty explicitly genocidal project. trump wants them to kill people, and so they do. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ices-missi...

In 2029 all ICE agents will be tracked down by the paper trail with DHS. Pre-dawn, guns-drawn raids on homes are coming. Federal & state agents will go to the homes of ICE agents to arrest them. There will be plenty of "wailing, screaming, crying, begging, and pleading" from them and their family.

Every word of this. Lindsey Graham's misogyny - he repeatedly sponsored national abortion bans - has been overlooked. He hated women. And it was on full display at the Kavanaugh hearings.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

ICE reportedly ordered agents to stop pursuing people in cars after mounting pressure to hit arrest quotas was blamed internally for deadly shootings. This was never about public safety. It was about numbers, and people died because of it.

Rubio, three weeks ago: “No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway.” Trump, yesterday: the U.S. will charge a 20 percent fee on maritime cargo through Strait of Hormuz. So much for the principle of freedom of navigation. China is watching.

Other than McConnell, no senator did more to build the Supreme Court's six-justice conservative supermajority than Lindsey Graham. He saved Kavanaugh when many Republicans (even Trump) were ready to give up, and his flip-flop on election-year confirmations got Barrett over the finish line, too.

Am I supposed to have sympathy for a Supreme Court justice who says she didn’t expect to have to tell her kids what a bulletproof vest is meanwhile, my kids gotta take a bulletproof backpack to school every day in case of a school shooting. zero empathy.

VIDEO: Body cam shows Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo using his name to get out of a traffic stop. “I’m Joe Lombardo.” Officer: “I’m aware.” Officer lets him go.

Thanks for the dot. So the story will be: 1. Foreign interference in 2020 (remember they’ve still got Maduro) 2. Therefore election results invalid, including runoffs 3. Some claimed basis for EO or other executive branch interference/control in elections

Marco Rubio last month on the Strait of Hormuz: “No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway.” Yesterday, Trump announced that the U.S. will start charging a 20% fee on cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Guess the rules changed

SORKIN: We have more debt, inflation is worse, consumer prices are worse, unemployment is worse, the GDP number is maybe worse. Just math SCOTT: You've gotta take both presidencies in aggregate SORKIN: Those who are measuring from the end of the Biden presidency to today may take a different view

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.

Monstrous. Abolish ICE. And punish them. Hold them accountable or this will keep happening.

The two ICE agents who murdered a civilian in Biddeford, Maine today. Let's make them famous.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

We should have learned that you can’t manage a public health crisis by ignoring it. Politicizing science and weakening disease surveillance doesn’t make threats disappear, it only makes us less prepared to respond.

There is a direct line from our insane supreme court to Mitch. He held onto a grudge about Bork for decades and we might have three functional and coequal branches of government but for this man.

Death Sentence by Kavanaugh Stops: Authorized by a man Susan Collins voted to put on the Supreme Court with funds Susan Collins voted to give ICE.

So I guess if ICE shows up at your house, you can either: 1) Let them throw you in the concentration camp, where conditions are inhumane and many detainees are beaten to death, or 2) Run away, in which case they can murder you for fleeing

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.

This will be Bluesky when we get that special obituary.

Democratic Socialists chase even the Final Bosses out of town.

HAYES: “For the 2nd time in less than a week ICE officers have shot and killed a motorist in the middle of the street. For the 2nd time in less than a week the man they shot dead was not their intended target.” #JoanSebastianGuerrero #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo

Let’s do it. Fuck ‘em. - We can build a wall. - Remove all military bases. - Sever all rail, road and air traffic. - Forbid them from using the dollar. - No FEMA, Social Security or Welfare money. - Cancel all passport held by Texans. - Withdraw U.S. citizenship from all Texan insurrectionists .

Jon gets it. He’ll make an excellent Vice President after his reelection & the election of GOVERNOR Keisha Lance Bottoms. 😇

This week is going to be stupid. Next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse..., and then we will have elections. The days after that, it'll be so bad that we will miss these days.

I was a conservative until he came down that escalator. I want ritualized humiliations. I want their children to have to change their last names from the shame. I want to catch them at airports in wigs and fake glasses trying to flee the country out of terror. I want vengeance.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

The best story ICE could make up, after 12 hours, is that ICE agents shot someone in the head because they believed the person they shot, who was not accused of any crime, was a different person also not accused of any crime, and so "public safety" required killing them on the spot.

this is the closest ICE has ever come to saying "yeah we just murdered a guy"

Who knows this killer???

WHOA indeed. DHS is *not* saying that the officer feared for his life. That is VERY notable in comparison to other shootings.
