DeLauro says House Dems want "provisions to require judicial warrants, prohibit U.S. citizens from being detained or deported, strengthen oversight of reconciliation funds, mandate the use of body-worn cameras and establish an enforceable code of conduct."

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.

It’s extremely funny that Trump’s greatest desire is to get revenge on his enemies in court but he can’t retain a single competent lawyer so it just doesn’t even come close to happening.
"A recycling of unadorned allegations with no reference to a source does not corroborate them. And a repetition of uncorroborated statements rarely supplies a basis for a valid misconduct complaint," the federal appeals court judge said. https://to.pbs.org/4kbeyKQ

Lets also talk about Nigel Farage appearing in the Epstein Files 43 times, lets do that too.
Let's talk about who funds Reform.
Let's talk about how disastrous Brexit has been.
Let's talk about why Gorton & Denton must vote Green & stop Reform.
Why so quiet, Nigel Farage?

Honestly I’m anticipating the depressingly mundane Nothing Ever Happens outcome, where Dems take the House and maybe Senate but then don’t abolish the filibuster so Trump just stays basically unchecked aside from struggling to move some of his nominations along.

I don’t know why some of you think “ICE has gone too far but I still believe all the horseshit about illegal immigrants being an existential threat” is a mindset that has any place in getting this country out of this mess.
No. These people need to at minimum admit it was hysteria.

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

We extremely know how to do this. Governor Walz instituted an eviction moratorium in 2020 which withstood repeated legal challenges in state and federal court. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, write some new predicate findings, and we're good to go.
This is what Dems never seem to get. A massive immigration operation is complicated but it hasn’t stopped republicans even once. An eviction moratorium is NOWHERE NEAR AS COMPLICATED. Just fucking do it!
Someone told me the other day an eviction moratorium is complicated and I was like … I guess I don’t care. Because this (below) is the alternative.

and furthermore, it’s very clear that the two most important political tests for the senate in 2029 once we take it will be:
1. expanding the Supreme Court
2. Admitting PR/DC as states
