Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Bondi said she didn’t release the pornography photos to protect the victims. I call bullshit. If she cared about the victims, she would have them testify in front of Congress like many said they would. She didn’t release them to protect the Johns.

this comes up every now and again but i'm really surprised there's not more urgency around other international sports organizations rethinking competing in america for the immediate future.
Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who fought Jake Paul on Saturday in CA, has been arrested by U.S. immigration officers and is being processed for expedited removal from the country, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Thursday.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

In addition to gutting Medicaid, Trump's Billionaire Bill adds 175 BILLION TO ICE, which gives it a bigger budget than some countries' entire military budget.
What will Trump do with ICE and 10,000 "agents?"

Medicaid can be funded again, food stamps and clean energy can be funded, taxes can be increased progressively. But an immigrant prison network with no resources for due process will be very hard to dislodge, and could easily be turned against the citizenry. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.”
Genuinely, morale is way down.

The last 72 hours have been a brutal news cycle for Trump. Trump desperately needed a distraction from the party infighting and economy numbers.
He's federalized the National Guard and threatened to deploy the US Marines to deal with a few hundred protesters at two or three locations.
