Do the Republican congress and Supreme Court not realize that they're fellating themselves (not auto-fellating, obviously) out of their jobs? Musk/Trump and MAGA won't need any of them once the shitstorm surges to hurricane force.
I understand they may all be facing threats to themselves, etc...but

Loved your speech on The Thom Hartmann show after News with your Dad on Thursday! I'd really like to share that everywhere if it's up on YouTube.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

It’s day 6 of the government shutdown.

First thought when hearing this story. He may have thought they were hungry.
Meanwhile, the man who yelled "kill 'em" at rioters attacking police on Jan. 6 remains a "valued member of the Justice Department."

Proud of my friend Leader Jeffries for his powerful, record-breaking speech against Republicans' Big Ugly Bill that takes health care and food away from struggling families to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
He’s right: America is better than this. We will press on and keep fighting.

🚨🚨 US TRADE DEFICIT SURGES
The Commerce Department's Census Bureau on Thursday reported that the international trade in goods increased by about 11 percent in May as exports decreased while imports remained relatively unchanged — a sign that Trump's tariff strategy has been a colossal failure.

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?
When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court.
Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.
