The Resurrection of Authoritarian Nonsense
From Harvard to Kyiv to Boeing, the Trump regime spent Easter weekend proving it can’t govern, but it can punish, retaliate, and lie with stunning consistency.

Horrifying. ICE is an irredeemable institution and must be abolished.
“Mommy, no. Mommy.”
Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody.
The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang.

The other thing about this is that it's possible that the Schumer/CR debacle will end up being the inverse of a pyrrhic victory. You're actually seeing Senators now lining up to show they can fight. Booker's the big one. But you also see Gallego and Schiff announcing holds.
This is so on the mark. Does Booker see an opening here for himself? Absolutely. You want people like that.
what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

I think the remarkable thing about Cory Booker's speech is that much of it is *a good speech*. He's not just filling time, he's using time while the spotlights on him.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
