HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.
After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked.
The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

My prediction is that ice will manage to go another 10 days without an incident bad enough to break through to the general public, people will start to think that things are settling down again, and then they'll pop another protester.

I'm on my hands and knees begging my fellow young people to go out and physically meet people instead of relying on corporations with every incentive to ensure you never actually find a partner.

I see a lot of visualizations of one year of a person's online dating (a 21M from London in this case). Seems miserable. Is getting drunk in a bar or club making a comeback as a dating strategy? Source: buff.ly/ZvAbOdz

I'm torn between my knowledge that these are a big get for minority party and the fact that Trump has shown zero interest in actually following the law and there's no reason to think that he will make ice do any of this.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Honestly it's fascinating the extent to which woke 2 has just eventuated in the span of like, 20 hours.
Hard to tell if it's executives finally deciding they can shave this fuck, or if the PMC pressure on the c-suite finally pushed them over the edge.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

John Roberts struck down the ACA’s Medicaid expansion as a 10A violation because the law was, as he called it, a “gun to the head” of the states who did not want to help their residents.
Now Trump’s putting *literal* guns to the heads of Minnesota’s residents to force their gov’t to betray them.

Carter turns to the voter roll demand, which they lost in the courts.
Per Carter, the government responds: "We don't care. We're going to put violence and chaos in the streets and we're going to force it with illegal conduct."
"If THAT doesn't violate the 10th Amendment...."
