Joe Biden was the best president of my entire lifetime, it’s not even all that close, and that’s terrible.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

The best headline I've seen about MN murder was "Gunmen still at large."

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.

“If an 18-year-old Marine did that in the middle of a war zone, he would be court-martialed, because it is murder,” four-time Marine infantry veteran of Iraq Rep. Seth Moulton says of today’s Minneapolis killing by a Border Patrol agent.

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop.
We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

I’m sorry, I don’t care who this pisses off: yes, obviously this murder is on Trump and his ICE goons, but it is also on the feckless, cowardly authorities in the Minnesota government who didn’t do anything to arrest ICE agents the first time they murdered someone. This is the cost of inaction.

Republicans like to talk about "masculinity crisis," but if you think that "masculinity" is better captured by a masked man shooting a woman in the face rather than a dad doing ICE watch outside of a preschool, the crisis is you.

Trump: "They didn't allow the water to come down from the Pacific Northwest. They routed the water into the Pacific Ocean. So we had no water there. No, he had -- I would say open up the water. Open it up to the governor, the mayor. They wouldn't do it. They wanted to protect a tiny little fish."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

DOES EVERY ELECTED DEMOCRAT HAVE A FUCKING BRAIN PARASITE THAT FORCES THEM TO TALK SOLELY ABOUT AFFORDABILITY. FUCK.
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.

Seriously. I have issues with how the press handles statements from law enforcement—but this is something else. This admin, this agency, these same officials have constantly lied the whole time, including lying about events on video. It is dishonest for journalists to simply repeat their claims.
WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane
