What is the point of having a Congress if they won't exercise their congressional power over regulation, budgeting, appointments, and war?
The unitary executive renders the legislature wholly irrelevant.
We have a King.
Am Unamerican unpatriotic betrayal of the founding ideals of this country.

Congrats to the MAGA parents who made this happen and are now stuck missing work to supervise their kids on virtual school.

I would point out there's no points for taking the high road and not using the legal system against these guys. They're already attacking us using the resources they command. And we're turning the other cheek bc, what, fear? Some kind of moral high ground we don't need?
Only by prosecuting these folks will we get out of this mess.
And that's not in 2028. Start now.
Prosecute ICE in every state for every crime. Arrest them for jaywalking if you have to.
Prosecute Musk in Wisconsin. Offer rewards for whistleblowers from Trump crony state crimes.
Go all out.

Solidarity with Portland. ICE clearly under orders to escalate to try to provoke a civil war so they can cancel the election they know they're gonna lose.

Found the national security issue that Greenland and Venezuela aren't.
This was always the grand bargain, y'know. Abandon EU to Putin, Abandon Taiwan to China, and the US warmongers in LATAM.
Korea, Japan, AUS, etc need to be having serious conversations.

Trump on Taiwan. If any other president of any party had said this, congressional Republicans would be flipping out.

House passes ACA subsidies extension in dramatic vote
The vote marked a rare rebuke by some Republicans of their own leadership, driven by concerns about spiking health care costs.

He’s not defending what the ICE agent did. He’s simply saying you’re not allowed to hold him accountable for having done it. We are subjects, not citizens, and our role is to hide in fear and pray our betters don’t decide we have to die

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

They're escalating and will keep escalating until stopped.
This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.
