Well, it is a question... but that's not an answer.
TAPPER: There were prosecutors in Minnesota who were going to investigate the shooting Renee Good and then the word came down from DOJ to stop
HOMAN: That's a question for DOJ. That happened before I had my feet on the ground in Minnesota. That's a question for Pam Bondi or Todd Blanche

Some good questions on the mysteries of the filibuster. Personally, I think it should be done away with. But if they're going to keep it, they really should have to actually stand up there and debate/talk.
What I really hate, is changing the rules every time you want to ram legislation through.

The CRA (founded by Russ Vought) supports forcing a talking filibuster: “If the Republican majority can outlast the Democrat minority speeches (which could take weeks)… then a final vote on the SAVE Act would take place at a simple majority threshold of 51 votes…”
What do they mean by outlast?? 1/

Masked ICE agents had elementary school kids running for their lives in South Jersey. Now they're afraid to go outside or go to school.
Listen to these kids and tell me with a straight face that we can "reform" ICE. You can't reform that.

Kids in Lindenwold, NJ ran from their bus stop after spotting ICE agents during an operation. A 10 year old said agents followed him as he rushed home, with counselors later brought in to support the frightened children.
