Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Because right now ICE is absolutely violating the fourth Amendment. There is no fucking question. They do not have the right to enter homes without consent unless they have a judicial warrant or one of the exigent warrant exceptions.
This has been settled law for like 250 years.

FBI seizing ballots and election records from a Georgia election office isn’t normal law enforcement. Nor is it normal for the Director of National Intelligence to be involved.
If the DOJ can be used to relitigate a settled election, it can be weaponized in every future one. This is not democracy.
