I don't know any Bad Bunny songs, but as someone who listens primarily to heavy metal with indecipherable lyrics, I strongly support having a halftime show featuring music a large percentage of the audience doesn't understand.

Republican Tony Hwang blamed his defeat in Tuesday’s special election for Fairfield First Selectperson on "national anger and party labels," and this kind of whining is something I've been thinking about a lot. So-called moderate Republicans think we should treat them like Trump doesn't exist...

Democrats want ICE abolished, Chuck. Stop pretending you don't know that.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

What is most notable about this election in Fairfield, CT is it was a referendum on being open or closed to new housing
The Democratic ticket mounted a masterful multi-week public campaign incl op-eds framing being open and having more housing was actually the way to take back control. It worked

Proud of Fairfield for electing Christine Vitale as First Selectperson today. And for 42% turnout in a municipal special election!

Looks like I'm going to have to make yet another angry call to Jim Himes' office tomorrow. This is becoming routine, which is maddening. In going to have to send his constituent relations person a fruit basket at this point.
Connecticut's Courtney, DeLauro and Himes were among just 21 House Dems to vote yes. CT's Larson and Hayes voted no along with the vast majority of House Dems.

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Thought my outrage had maxed out this week over ICE but turns out I've got more to give bc I just learned Linda McMahon is coming to one of my town's elementary schools on Friday as part of a Turning Point USA tour focused on using America's 250th birthday to spread the MAGA version of our history.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

This statement from Suozzi is too little, too late, but I think it's still notable that he's not just saying he's changing his mind - he's admitting that he's been getting angry calls from constituents and that he got this wrong.
