people on here aren’t gonna like hearing this, but a sympathetic former ICE agent cutting ads about being forced to drop investigations into child pornographers to arrest gardeners would probably be pretty effective messaging.
NEW: I spoke to a dozen current and formers about low morale at ICE amid the Trump admin's relentless push for more and more arrests. Officers and agents aren't complaining or looking for sympathy but they're facing public anger & political pressure from above www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Trump loves ICE. Its Workforce Has Never Been So Miserable.
A “mission impossible” deportation campaign has left many employees burned out and morally conflicted.

The Supreme Court is about to go on an extended summer vacation, after having blown up the docket of every single lower court judge who has been working like a dog to deal with the firehose of illegal orders coming out of this administration.
If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Yeah, Democracy was rough. Not having neighbors rounded up & sent to concentration camps, not wasting $200 mn on a futile bombing raid, not forcing the military to put on a parade for his birthday, not kicking millions off healthcare so oligarchs could pay less tax, not killing cancer research ..

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?
I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

You know things are bad when House Republicans — who voted to cut Medicaid by $800B — are worried about Medicaid cuts in the Senate GOP's bill.
But make no mistake: both the House and Senate bills kick millions off their health care. We're fighting them with everything we've got.

New: 16 House Republicans write a letter rebelling against the Senate bill’s Medicaid spending cuts, which are more aggressive than the House bill. Concerns include provider taxes, state payments, harm to hospitals and “cuts to emergency Medicaid funding.” Led by Rep. David Valadao:

I’d just like to point out that an administration that received 49.8% of the popular vote is trying to “liberate” California from the governor that was elected with 59.2% of the popular vote. Keep fighting the good fight @governor.ca.gov

It’s elementary. If only one side is pushing it will get a lot of its way. The only workable remedial action is to make clear to all relevant parties that there are two sides pushing. And act accordingly.
Key Democrats sent scathing letters to 5 top law firms demanding details on the lucrative deals they cut with Trump to avoid being punished by him.

That means conducting a nationwide review of voting barriers in all 50 states. It means dedicating resources to challenge laws that disenfranchise voters. And it means having the political will to fight for the right to vote everywhere, regardless of how competitive a state appears today.

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court.
A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.
