Trump: “You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns.”

Rep Faison, on the other hand: “It’s very American.”

We’re trying to imagine the Tennessee Republican freakout if Biden, or, gasp, Obama, had said that

Maybe that's why Jeffries won't just say abolish ICE.

What if we say "ICE must end forthwith"?

I will donate, phone bank, and knock on doors for any Democrat who promises to do everything to the Republicans in power that they’re doing to innocent people. Not talk about the price of milk. Not talk about norms. Just want a promise that the these motherfuckers will rot.

With Rosen, Cortez Masto, and Warner all now No’s on cloture on DHS Approps, the filibuster will get above 40 (I assume they’ll get pretty much every Dem senator). The question then will be what the Dems demand to let it go forward. Get ICE and CBP out of MN is the easiest message. It’s also right.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?
