"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

It would most certainly be an act of war and Rubio knows it. Unwelcome? 🤷🏻♀️ Depending on who is doing it.
RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?
RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition
PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

The person went outside to try the shoe spikes and Canada-approved parka. She came back without need of hospitalization so 👍🏻 on shoe spikes. Thanks @fidgit.bsky.social for the recommendation. All that white in pics is ice.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Nine shots? Six of them while the guy was already down. What the actual fuck is this administration thinking supporting the murder of citizens by a bunch of untrained, armed government goons? I hope those seven Dems who voted for continued funding are feeling lousy.

Not yet, but if Democrats don't get serious about 2026 and 2028, you won't have to call it anything, because you won't be able to speak freely.

Seven spineless Democrats: Reps. Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (N.C.), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Tom Suozzi (N.Y.) and Laura Gillen (N.Y.). It is my dream that Henry Cuéllar is one day voted out. He is practically a Republican.

SCRIPT:
Hi there,
My name is [Your Name] and I'm a constituent. My zip code is [Your Zip Code] and my contact is [Your Email and/or Phone Number]. I'm urging [Your House Member's Name] to vote NO on the DHS appropriations bill today. The bill does not go far enough in restraining ICE's lawless behavior, which has shocked me these past few weeks. The bill doesn't prevent agents from detaining U.S. citizens. It doesn't stop agents from entering homes without a warrant signed by a judge. It doesn't stop their brutal, aggressive tactics. And it gives them $10 billion ON TOP of the $18.75 billion they *already have* from last year's budget bill. I do not want any more of my tax dollars supporting what I've seen over the past few weeks. Please have them vote no on this bill. Their primary's coming up, their general's in the fall - and their vote on this bill will directly influence my vote on their re-election this year. Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ucpbsjhokl6mde3guxdnxijp/bafkreieq6ncmi6kennow22a7krn7rgjch3j672l55ktnih6t4jvdgxa6zm@jpeg)
