This is what Kristi Noem said when this incident happened: “What we saw last night in Minneapolis was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.”

To this day, reporters marvel at GOP governors who bussed migrants to cities. But JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom have flipped the script: By encouraging people to document ICE atrocities, they've helped create the basis for a revitalized opposition politics. 2/

How the Democrats Can Play Offense on Immigration
Typically, Democrats run for the hills when immigration comes up. But as two blue-state governors are showing, the winning play is actually to confront ICE and MAGA xenophobia head on.

Here's the part of the piece @aselrod.bsky.social is referencing. Imagine if more voters understood how hard it is for people to come here legally, and understood that Trump/GOP want it this way *precisely so that* people give up on the idea that immigration can be managed. Dems can make this point!

Maybe the most important thing in this piece is @gregsargent.bsky.social’s argument that Dems should message hard on how it’s the immigration system itself, in its stupidity and cruelty, that creates illegal immigrants.
If more people understood this, they’d talk less about “coming the right way.”

What does Bondi do at this pivotal moment as the survivors stand? She SCREAMS the pedophile’s message of DEHUMANIZATION of them by haughtily looking away/shuffling papers/facial affect lacking all feeling other than superiority & dominance. Her dehumanization allowed the victims to be raped again!😡

The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might.

The most disturbing thing about the Epstein files isn’t what we’ve learned — it’s that after what we've learned, those involved still remain protected, still in positions of power, and shielded from accountability.
Anyone protecting them, or downplaying this, is complicit.
