Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

An ICE agent is charged with a crime by local authorities. It happened because the agent was off duty, thus not involved in law enforcement. And because the assault on an observer — charged as a misdemeanor — was filmed, by the observer.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Yep. There are split duties here. Miller broadcasts undisguised bloodlust to the base, openly relishing the sadism and cruelty of ICE's paramilitary warfare against Americans on Fox News. Vance sells it to non-MAGA Republicans and independents by speaking piously about law enforcement under siege.
Excellent piece. Though I expect Miller to continue what is mostly his role—with notable exceptions—of going on Fox to tell Republicans exactly what Donald Trump wants them to say.
It's now very clear that JD Vance is consciously taking on the role of putting a softer face on Stephen Miller's fascism. Vance is becoming chief propagandist for ICE's violent paramilitary warfare against Americans.
Some thoughts on that in this piece:

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.
