In the flood of British anger that we're seeing right now, some may wonder why I quote politicians. Many are British forces veterans. Several in Iraq and Afganistan. A few in SAS/SBS. Some still reservists. Al Carns in *all four categories*. Shame on Trump, who has never served.

From standing up to corruption in Washington to working to bring down health care costs, Yassamin Ansari is a leader Arizonans can always count on to fight for them. I'm proud to support her.
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social is an American hero who’s always put Arizona first. I’m proud to have his endorsement for my re-election, and I look forward to continuing our work together for Arizona and the country.

Under this Administration, ICE has created chaos in communities across the country and used deadly force against Americans. That's unacceptable.
Ruben Gallego and I have a bill to set clear standards for the use of force and make sure ICE is accountable to the people they serve.

I think there is a very simple response from any Dem leader directly questioned regarding defunding ICE.
"Look, any unregulated activities which violate the Constitution, kill and kidnap US citizens, and kidnap children should not be funded. That should not be limited to ICE."

If peers who are filibustering and running down the clock on the #AssistedDyingBill succeed, it would be utterly devastating for terminally ill people and their families – and a profoundly undemocratic move that defies the will of the House of Commons.
EXC - MPs and peers who backed the assisted dying bill now believe it is “near impossible” for it to pass the House of Lords in time because of procedural obstacles used by opponents.
“It is our system at its absolute most dysfunctional,” one MP said.

Fifty-three years after Roe v. Wade, politicians are still trying to control the most personal medical decisions Americans make. That’s why Arizona voters said enough in 2024 and enshrined reproductive freedom in our constitution.

After the last couple of weeks, any Democrat who isn’t willing to say that ICE needs to be disbanded is going to be EXTREMELY vulnerable to a primary this year. There are a LOT of electeds who are light years behind their constituents right now.

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an “immigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

I suspect ICE came down on Minneapolis because they thought it would be easy to provoke rioting there & declare martial law.
That has not proved to be the case.
ICE is further escalating now as a last ditch effort to incite civil unrest.
Hang on, Minneapolis.
