this is the same democrat who said ICE should be "held to the same standards as local police departments" while pretending local cops aren't getting military equipment from 1033 and training from dave "killology" grossman

abolish ICE. you cannot reform this shit. they didn't sign up for "training".
I won’t support additional funding for ICE unless we put guardrails in place to make sure ICE is better trained and actually focused on making our communities safer.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor

he’s the kind of guy they get training from

the whole institution is rotten, throw it out
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.

No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

again I need people to know that this fall, North side Chicago yoga pants moms who for all I know voted for Paul Vallas in 2023 all came up to me at a Lil Kickers soccer practice for toddlers asking where they could buy my shirt. IN SEPTEMBER. BEFORE THEY SHOT A WHITE MOM LIKE THEM IN THE FACE.

There are so many acts of bravery by every day people while elected Dems cower behind focus group tested talking points.
Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

If they had an ounce of sense they'd have cut the guy loose and portrayed him as some kind of outlier to spare ICE the aggro. They don't, so it seems bad, I know, but the NBA does not take political statements lightly.

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

we can outlast these people. I cannot promise that everyone who fights will live to see the other side, but I can promise that they do not have enough men to rule us as they desire, and they are too hated to rule us the way the system allows.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

When you write the whole piece around the idea of “MeToo” as an adequate description of what caused specific men to lose specific positions, and when you do this incredibly weird cutesy business to avoid *mentioning what happened*, you do a disservice to readers.

our media betters are once again trying to finger-wag us for believing silly hoi polloi nonsense like "it should probably be a news story that the world's most notorious pedophile is friends with the president of the united states despite the president saying they've been no-contact for 15 years"
We’re seeing materials that no journalists, not Julie Brown, not Ronan Farrow, not anyone from any paper, managed to get access to before now. The conspiracy theories bouncing around about NYT are nothing more than a show people’s ignorance of what goes into a real piece of investigative journalism
