Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Good morning.

It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

ICE is using tear gas, helicopters, and military equipment to violently assault and detain FARM WORKERS.

God have mercy on our society.

Absolutely!!!
Democrats should run ads just of Miller ranting.

The screeching voice, the sneering face, even the awkward jerking of his body — it’s like a car alarm took human form.

A Tesla alarm, I guess, given the Nazi stuff

“If ICE was a military, it would have the 16th biggest budget in the world. You wanna talk about America First? Think about all the things we could do in this country, like giving a [hurricane] warning system to these folks in rural Texas, instead of plucking brown people out of their homes.”

And this comes right as they're about to ramp up their campaign of masked kidnappings and military photo ops.

Even the most poll-driven Democrat has to take this as a sign that it's well past time to dig in their heels on this shit.
Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings:
-Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove)
-Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%)

The very finest in government efficiency and bureaucracy… it’s a wonder they can find time for makeup. But hey, television…
Speed is the most critical value in disaster response. For the past few months, DOGE and other parts of the Trump administration have been pouring red tape into administrative systems, requiring extra levels of review for spending. Now it is hobbling the federal response in Texas.
“.. Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.”
