Q: Did he brandish a gun?
KRISTI NOEM: This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons

We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.
What does that say about the Democratic establishment?
Primary season is on right now, folks.
We all deserve better.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.*
The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

I consume a good amount of normie, center-left political content (New Yorker, NYTimes, Atlantic, Bulwark, Hayes, Maddow, etc.) produced mostly by people who've been in the US politics biz for over 2 decades...and in the past month there's been a noticeable shift in tone and urgency.

Democrats are actively refusing to treat Trump’s military campaign against American cities as a crisis, because they’re in thrall to a bunch of idiot pollsters who tell them to only ever react to Trump across a tiny range of kitchen-table issues. The Democratic Party is a huge part of the problem.
One of the biggest things Dems overlooked is how many of the "DoSomethings" that religiously attack Dems despite Republicans being 100% in control (because those same creators blamed Dems for Republicans in the courts keeping Trump out of jail) got famous BECAUSE of Trump's 1st term.

The parking lot at the Broadview ICE facility is packed this morning—most vehicles we've seen here so far.
Two masked men exit the door inside, appear to be checking out the fleet of vehicles.
Small gaggle of press outside. No reports yet of any detainees arriving or leaving.

These are public employees who decided to leave rather than accept jobs where they actually did nothing. Remember that the next time they tell you that government employees are lazy and inefficient.

Six months later, all of those attorneys have left DOJ. “The assignment was a sham,” one said.

At Trump’s request, multiple red state governors are sending hundreds of armed National Guard forces into DC. This military occupation of the district is unprecedented and unjustified. If it’s allowed to stand, this country will be well on its way to becoming a police state. 1/22

WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers.
Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

This testimony is particularly stunning. The Border Patrol Chief for the LA operations questioning the loyalty and patriotism of a military general due to the general’s objection to the military’s participation in what amounted to a DHS publicity stunt seemingly intended to terrorize the community.
Riley: You objected to the original request for assistance on MacArthur Park?
Sherman: Correct
Riley: And a DHS official, Chief Gregory Bovino, criticized you for objecting to that request? Specifically, he questioned your loyalty to the country?
