Before we release Hannibal Lector on bail we need to have a serious conversation about giving him dietary help.
Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
House passes bill extending health care subsidies, bucking GOP leaders
Prospects for passage in the Senate are unclear. The enhanced subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving costs up for millions.

If agents of the state can murder citizens who are doing the most basic civic task, the country is not only not a democracy, it is not even a law-governed constitutional state—not a free country in the most fundamental sense.
The ICE observers are doing the most basic & important thing that can done vis-a-vis the government: they're monitoring the use of public authority.
Is that authority being used well? To advance the common good? Or is power being abused? These are any good citizen's most basic questions.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Just a reminder:
Donald Trump is the only president that has ever sought permission from SCOTUS to commit crimes and he wasn't doing it for other presidents past and future. MAGA will never believe that but the facts speak for themselves.
