If you take part in this I hope your afterlife includes the kind of punishments detailed in either Greek mythology or Dante's Inferno or some combination thereof, I'm not fussy.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Call me a stickler, but I do not think former Supreme Court clerks who are now practicing lawyers with *multiple cases* pending before the Court should be publishing fawning op-eds about how “kind, humble, thoughtful and selfless” their old boss is
Samuel Alito Is a Great Man, According to a Former Alito Clerk Arguing Cases at the Supreme Court
Ben Aguiñaga, Louisiana’s solicitor general, has appeared before the justices three times this term. In an op-ed, he describes his old boss as “kind, humble, thoughtful and selfless.”

I really don't understand why @warren.senate.gov keeps working with the likes of Josh Freaking Hawley.
She is so good on number of policy fronts - but she keep showing how she is not fit for the moment we are in now.
Warren keeps legislating in La La land as if everything were normal.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

This is a GREAT time to primary your “centrist” rep from the left in blue districts.

So the Epstein files dump
1. Protected a lot of predictors
2. Created another partisan food fight.
3. Failed to create any obvious pathway for these women to get accountability.
4. Included a number of clearly unverified claims that can be used to undermine the very legit emails

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

SHUT IT THE FUCK DOWN THEN!!!!
The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort underscore the gravity of this moment. This has never happened before in our history. We shouldn't pretend it's normal.
More reason for us to hold the line and demand a DHS budget that stops funding lawlessness.

One problem is that Democrats look at already passed funding as untouchable, while Republicans look at it as something to chip away at forever.
Case in point: the 2022 IRS surge funding in the Inflation Reduction Act.
TIL the House cut another $11 billion from that last week! And Dems voted for it!

ICE and CBP will still be funded through the BBB during a government shutdown but FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard and others in DHS will not be funded and about 75% of the rest of the government will shut down.

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

We have a crisis of political agency.
But if you start asking people to do more than donate or knock doors they have more standing to demand policy and political reform.
Even a lot of otherwise decent electeds want a transactional rather than participatory relationship with their supporters.

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.
I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.
