Yes. Where there’s evidence of crimes, prosecute.

As with any large, complex situation it’s necessary to triage.
The most powerful should be the priority targets.
Once they’re dealt with, we proceed until everyone is held accountable.

What is funny? This is a huge national emergency in Poland. We fear that many of the victims are Polish girls, and that the Russians, who would destroy us if they could, were orchestrating this disgusting operation.

The election system is biased towards selecting the wealthy, who already, by definition, are the enemies of regular working people.
We need to fundamentally restructure our democracy, so the regular people are our representatives. Not oligarch thugs and corporate shills.

It seems as though almost all Republicans, and a few Democrats, put their short-term personal gain ahead of their country's interests. This is the root cause of our governmental failure.
We have got to be more careful about vetting the people we vote for. And to make damn sure we actually vote.

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.
The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.
How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

People just walking in an out of a secure area like it's Times Square, huh?
Why do they know so little about the goings on in their own prison? Why don't they even have a time of death estimate?
Given the consistent temps in a prison, it should have been possible to estimate TOD by body temp.

Following ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, we do not need another massive ICE detention facility.
ICE has caused enough harm to our communities.
They have proven they cannot be trusted to operate detention facilities safely or transparently.

Customs and Border Patrol —the nation’s largest law enforcement agency—has been plagued for two decades by a tidal wave of crime, corruption, and misconduct.
Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

What Democrats need to know to truly reform ICE
I'm an expert, and the misconduct and corruption run far deeper than even the deadly surges have shown.

This is true. I’ve had a simple renewal application before DHS pending review for like four months.
Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

Because crime has less to do with policing and more to do with community cohesion than many think. Just because people are poor does not mean they're criminals. Just because people are rich does not mean they are not criminals.
REPORT: National Guard members deployed to Washington, D.C., have broken up fights, administered opioid overdose medication and helped deliver a baby, but they have not had a measurable impact on crime reduction.
