A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:
"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."
Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

A law student at the U of Florida — a self-described white nationalist and Nazi — wrote a paper arguing that the Constitution only applies to white people.

I can't explain it - but this "Thursday afternoon massacre" and the principled stand taken by these prosecutors has made me feel the most hopeful I've felt in weeks.
The interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk, has done more to publicly expose the corruption of the Trump administration this week at greater personal cost than any elected official I can think of.

The problem here for Trump is that he’s not in a position to give Putin what he wants, even if he’s minded to. No decision made in the White House will be binding on Europe, or even on the next US administration. And Putin knows that, too.
