If the Nobel Committee doesn’t rescind the Peace Prize and demand its return, what are they even doing?

There was a time I had hope that Tim Walz would be a Democratic leader who would rise above the meekness and consultant class cowardice of the establishment Dems, but that hope was clearly misplaced.
ICE flashbanged a 6-month old in your state yesterday. And this is your response? Pathetic.

“The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that’s what our consultants tell us we should focus on to attract moderate Republicans voters.”
Maybe Schumer was effective at one point, but the septuagenarian’s time has long passed and he needs to step down for America’s sake.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Once again, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is completely failing the moment because he’d rather listen to consultants.
ICE needs to be abolished. Period. End of story. You can talk whether it’s necessary to replace it with a new, tightly-regulated agency, but ICE itself is too corrupt and tainted.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities."

Sure seems like there might be some US strikes in Iran tonight or tomorrow. Because what’s another illegal war act when you’ve already got a couple dozen under your belt?

Hey, Pete…math called and wanted to let you know that’s not how it works. Also, math called you a dumbass.
Peter Navarro: "One of the biggest drivers of higher rents in this country is the 20 million illegal aliens that came in during four years of Joe Biden. It's one million illegals, one percent increase in rent. That's a 20 percent national increase."

Helluva sales pitch to us Democratic voters: “We won’t do anything about the brownshirts kidnapping and murdering innocent citizens because we’re weak. Please donate to my reelection fund.”
Asked if he's willing to shut down the government over ICE funding, Senator Cory Booker replies: "We had the longest government shutdown, and Democrats could not hold together to sustain that kind of pressure."

Reminder that for the heinously evil shit ICE is doing while being filmed, once they have kidnapped innocent people, we have no insight, view, or evidence of what they are doing to their victims. When this regime is toppled, I truly believe we’re going to find out some dark, dark truths about ICE.

But Dem leadership will come up with some excuse as to why “this isn’t the time” to try to force some kind of leverage out of Republicans about ICE. Can’t wait to see what their bullshit reasoning will be this time.
For those asking why I am asking about ICE funding NOW, the government runs out of money this month and Congress has yet to pass the Homeland Security bill. ICE won’t be abolished, but Democrats can hold up the bill

It’s amazing how stupid MAGA supporters are. Wearing a mask during a pandemic? An offense to their freedom so great that they would burn the system to the ground. An armed surveillance state murdering innocent Americans? Cheer that shit on, because they don’t like “those people” getting killed.

Actually @warren.senate.gov , I’m voting for the candidate who credibly says there will be trials and consequences to these fascist regime members and brownshirts. And I will happily pay higher costs to get it.

An administration official basically just said “More peaceful protestors will be murdered until they comply with our orders”. Anybody in the press want to make a note of that? Maybe highlight how that’s kind of a big deal? Raise any sort of alarm or concern? No? Cool…cool.

Can we get Jerome Powell to lead the Democrats rather than the empty suits we have now? If @schumer.senate.gov or @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social could should even half the spine as Powell showed in this speech, we might actually have an opposition party and not just a "release a mild statement" party.

Democrats need to start planning for how they can start to unfuck everything - America, democracy, and our relationship with the rest of the world - once the Trump regime is toppled. And they need to loudly communicate that to their voters. They had no plan for Trump 2.0 which made it worse.

The Democrats have abandoned Americans and the Constitution. All they care about is polling and consultants rather than fighting a tyrannical, fascist regime close to implementing martial law.
“We’ll figure out how to fix it after we win back control” isn’t a winning strategy. It’s capitulation.

We are supposed to go up to Minneapolis in two weeks for our son’s athletic competition. We are considering pulling out from it because we don’t know how safe it will be with all of the ICEstapo brownshirts running amok.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

And here’s the problem: Americans, especially Democrats, are willing to put up with pain and difficulties if we can bring the country back from fascism (see the last shutdown). But the cowardly Dem politicians don’t have the spines to battle Trump, so they just roll over and make things worse.

This really just epitomizes Hegseth and the whole Trump administration: only concerned about looking “tough” and “manly” rather than actually being competent at what your job is.

There needs to be Nuremberg trials after this fascist regime is deposed. And any Democrat who opposes that - like I suspect @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social would - need to be primaried and never hold office again.

Of course not. Does anyone have any faith that they’ll use this bit of power they have?

I would come back to the Church if Pope Leo excommunicated every “Catholic” in the Trump administration.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
