Any show by Dems is just that at this point - per Senator S. Murray: ICE must be reined in, and unfortunately, neither a CR nor a shutdown would do anything to restrain it, because, thanks to Republicans, ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap whether or not we pass a funding bill.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

It is absolutely ridiculous that this had to be reported.
This is a dangerous storm, in many areas it is an Ice storm. But because this administration is worried about names, FEMA can’t use the words Ice storm. People’s lives are at stake (in more ways than one)

Well yah. They only support the 2A when it’s their people using it. See: their history of opposing people of color open carrying. The only difference now is white people are getting lumped in with people of color if we dare to be liberal. 😑

I’m beginning to think the American education system didn’t spend enough time covering the *rise* of Nazi Germany in the 30’s, and too much time covering the *peak and fall* of it.
Perhaps people would better understand this moment if we had.

Okay, but unless he has bruises everywhere else on his body, it’s pretty weird they keep showing up on his pampered rich boy hands. Bc his stories are lies. The bruises are from IV infusions, dangerously thin blood, or both.
Trump on his hand bruising: “I clipped it on the table. So I put a little, what do they call it? Cream on it. But I clipped it. I would say take aspirin if you like your heart, but don’t take aspirin if you don’t want to have a little bruising because if you take the big— I take the big aspirin.”

Widespread freezing rain and sleet are expected south of the primary snow axis. Significant and damaging ice accumulations are likely, with the potential for long-duration power outages, tree damage, and dangerous travel conditions.

Heavy snow is likely across a broad region from the Southern Rockies and Plains through the Mid-Atlantic and into the Northeast. Snowfall totals exceeding 12 inches are becoming more probable in localized areas. Widespread travel disruptions are likely.
