When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

He’s usually dead-on. Keep it up Judge Luttig.
Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Trump: You should be investigating Clinton, not me! He’s the real bad guy!”
MAGA Congressmen: Yes sir! Right away sir!
Trump after remembering Clinton could incriminate him under oath: You know, Bill is actually a really great guy. We should probably leave him alone.

Just own it, America, you elected a criminal racist piece of shit twice by some quirk in the Constitution, his entire financial life built off housing discrimination, his entire political life built off wanting to execute innocent teenagers and questioning the birthplace of our only Black President.

Really impressive commentary from Judge Reyes in this opinion. More please!
What followed from Judge Ana C. Reyes for the District of Columbia was a literary and legal masterpiece using Noem’s own vicious racism against her in a case challenging the revocation of TPS status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians refugees

Hmmm, graphs going in that direction are typically bad
40% of Americans strongly or somewhat approve of how Donald Trump is handling his job as president, and 54% disapprove, for a net job approval of -14.

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

Before Trump 2.0, this was one of my biggest fears. With everything that's happened in the last year, it may seem like small news -- just another stream in the constant firehose of institutional destruction. But it's not. Effectively losing the professional federal civil service is a very bad thing.
Final Schedule F rule published: in defiance of the vast majority of public comments, it commits to further politicizing government, removing anyone the Trump administration dislikes.

So far, he doesn't know anything about the Obama video Trump posted, and he doesn't know anything about the DNI being present at an FBI raid of the Fulton County elections office. bsky.app/profile/atru...
CNN: Can you at least acknowledge the stories are different- what Tulsi Gabbard said and what Trump said? Can you at least agree there's a discrepancy?
HARIDOPOLOS: This is the first I've heard of this story. I don't follow this as close as CNN does. Let's move on to issues people really care about
