Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Pretty bizarres, seeing as how they spent that last four years worrying about WW3 rather than getting behind the President (Biden) on Ukraine.

Worse, the entire media basically knows this. They incredibly low standards they display for him are obvious. And yet they rarely highlight this as the disqualifying truth it is.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet.
The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.

That's one way to put it. I think it's useful to put on record that the GOP response to the arrests of Dem electeds is that they're attention-seeking losers.
We're not even getting "behind the scenes Rs are worried." Not worried at all! They are sharing the arrest pics and LOLing.

Help me understand the point of this article, which applies the "politics as a horse race" frame to falsely equate the growing number of illegal arrests/detentions by jack-booted, masked thugs against pretty much anyone they please for any flimsy pretext, against what Repubs falsely claim they are.

If they are NOT IDENTIED as police officers, you are free to use deadly force to resist. You do not have to stop until the identify themselves. Breanna Taylor case in point.
That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.”
