But there is no situation that Trump cannot make worse. He is about to do so with the cover-up of his involvement in Epstein’s child rape and sex trafficking criminal enterprise.

Trump is aiming for a trifecta never achieved in American political history: Converting his campaign’s top three winning issues into political liabilities of epic proportions. He has already done the heavy lifting, alienating voters on the economy, immigration, and the Epstein files.

Democrats spend too much time worrying about threats by Trump & GOP, and not enough time on offense. Hillary Clinton is demonstrating the type of pushback Democrats should use every day. On Thursday, Hillary effectively told GOP Rep. James Comer, “Put up or shut up.”

How we get there is a legitimate question, and abolition is a reasonable path. It may be out of reach at the moment, but let's not surrender before we have the conversation. And, yes, people are angry and upset. That is the appropriate human response to seeing citizens murdered in the streets.

People calling to abolish ICE constitute the majority of Americans. It isn't helpful to call them a circular firing squad. They want to eliminate roving paramilitary bands executing citizens in public--a laudable goal.

The reconciliation bill (Big Ugly Bill) funded ICE through 2029, thereby removing congressional oversight through the appropriations process and the filibuster. Dems should clawback that money as a condition of funding DHS. That would return ICE to the usual funding process — a huge win.

Democrats gave away most of their leverage by allowing the five appropriations bills to pass without a fight. They told us they would extract concessions when the DHS bill is put to a vote. It is the moment of truth for congressional Democrats. Don’t tell us who you are or what you believe. Show us

Congressional Democrats: Steel yourselves. We will either live in a society with a roving paramilitary that is executing citizens on the streets or not. It is up to you. For once in your lives, do the right thing—something that will be hard, possibly unpopular, and may affect your fundraising.

This is the moment of truth for congressional Democrats. They must finally show courage and principle. Our nation is in a moment of crisis. We have no need of politicians. We need patriots and heroes, men and women of their word who will defend the Constitution, as they promised.
