C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

ICE has forfeited that claim thanks to its own behavior and leadership. It’s not a “legitimate law enforcement agency.” Defund ICE.
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

i beg your pardon sir, mayonaise sandwiches are not culture
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

For the #chemsky peptide chemists out there. New preprint dropping next week. With this banger of a sentence:
Herein, we provide the extraordinary evidence demonstrating that [COOL-ASS APPROACH] may prove to be the most important advance in peptide synthesis since the development of Fmoc chemistry.
