Goldman: "Will the survivors and victims who are here please stand up one more time. By show of hands, how many of you or your loved ones actually have met with the DOJ? None ... How many of you were ignored by the DOJ? All of them." (Bondi responds by smearing Goldman.)

"We're firmly asking you to please follow the existing laws" is not a negotiation tactic. It's a suicide note.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

I would have voted for Markey against Kennedy last time around, but come on this is insane.
The Boomers need to listen to what they themselves were screaming 50 years ago and let a new generation lead.

why would they portray one of Trump's staunchest allies as a critic of his regime's excesses while erasing the work of actual critics? I have a theory about this
This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Today, like many across the US - and the world - we rode in solidarity w/ MPLS in memory of #AlexPretti and all who have been brutalized and murdered by ICE.
If we don’t stand together, we will all be crushed separately.
