It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

This killing is overtly a state-sponsored murder. The video is astonishing in its ugly simplicity.
That the Iranian mullahs aren't broadcasting it to the world in direct reply to Trump's fatuous claims about defending nonviolent protestors on the streets of Tehran is simply bad public relations.

I watched a news segment of J6ers “retracing their steps” and placing flowers “in honor of” Ashli Babbit at the Capitol. Reminded of how the Nazis mythologized the Beer Hall Putsch and turned the 16 people who died into martyrs who were ritually honored on the attempted coup’s anniversary each year

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

—Virginia Dems are defending a state Senate seat that should be an easy hold, but still worth watching in an otherwise-20-19 chamber.

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
