You can call it an “execution” if you want to, but let’s be clear on this…

Murder is a crime and is prosecutable.

Execution is a legal punishment carried out by the state after due process. There is no due process yesterday.

I apologize to Dana Bash @cnn.com for my earlier judgment of her abilities. I just saw more of her interview with Bovino and she did indeed push back multiple times on the lies he was spewing.

Dems must learn from history and from Europe this week. Appeasement is read by tyrants as weakness, and it encourages escalation. We are stronger together than apart. The free states/Dem leaders must come together to form new national opposition force. 2/

The experts said comments made publicly by Democrats Walz and Frey, including fierce condemnations of the ICE crackdown and calls for residents to record activity and peacefully demonstrate, are constitutionally protected.

Good stuff from @gregsargent.bsky.social.

I think we tend to overemphasize, esp. w/ Trump's mush-brain at the top, that their fascism is a kind of purely id-driven emotional impulse. But it's a real ideology w/ real theorists and tenets. Miller isn't an evil genius, but he has a real evil worldview

Fifty years later and we are right back here—except the government killers are armed with heavy weapons, masked to hide their identities, arrive in unmarked cars, have been told they have absolute immunity, will not be investigated if they execute anyone, and have pardons metaphorically in hand

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Rosen and Cortez Masto have already said they'd vote no. Call the rest.
Senate Republicans need 60 votes 2 pass the DHS funding bill. R’s only have 53 so they will need 7 Dems to vote with them.

Dems who may potentially help them:

Fetterman (PA)
Cortez Masto (NV)
Rosen (NV)

Another no vote from someone who usually votes yes.
My personal guiding principle has always been "agree where you can and fight where you must." And I believe this is a time when we must fight back.

If Cortez Masto won't vote for it, I think that means the DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the senate.
