Dear Chuck;
This is exactly why we stopped giving $ to the National party and Committees. 40 days and we tuck our tail between our legs and run. "Dems capitulate to Trump" is an accurate headline. I have no use for a Party that flees a fight over principles.

Senate Democrats are the only group of people in America that could look at the election results from *less than a week ago* and conclude, “Ah, what the people want now is for us to roll over and show our bellies to the reactionary creeps”

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Dear JD. You also have rich people yelling at you at restaurants and theatres. Maybe there’s a different problem.
This becomes Nazi talk once you realize JD Vance opposes more housing for the homeless, affordable government healthcare and expanded city social services. He just wants a final solution for ridding cities of their undesirables.
JD Vance on homelessness: "I don't know why we accepted that it was reasonable to have crazy people yelling at our kids. You should not have to cross the street in downtown Atlanta to avoid a crazy person yelling at your family. Those are your streets."

The ruling party wants to arrest members of the opposition party who are trying to stop them from rigging the mid-term elections.

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.
