Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Yes, yes, the only people who are objecting to the roving gangs of masked kidnappers and tear gas distributors are "sex offender criminal aliens," thank you for your serious and sober contribution to the national conversation.
No good American thinks you're a clown, sir. No one.

Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

Important
FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

I'm speechless. I can't find the words to describe how awful this is. A humiliation for the United States.

So let me get this straight... Americans are being forced to prove they are citizens to masked strangers who do not have to prove they are law enforcement? Oh.

Right now, Congress is working on an appropriations bill to fund these guys
by @democraticwins.bsky.social CNN just aired a devastating compilation of all the times ICE brutally attacked Americans. Remember, Donald Trump sponsored this. This is done at his command.

Hi there! I'm currently working on a multi-part @onthemedia.bsky.social series about FEMA –– conspiracy theories and media narratives about the agency, and how it's been perceived from the 70s through now. I'm looking to speak with more people who work at the agency right now. If you know someone...

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:
- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell
- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Curious when (if ever) all those self-satisfied sophomoric pedants out there will have a moment where they go "Okay, NOW it's fascism" and join the opposition.
