This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.
Now you're upset?
Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.
A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.

“When will we get details on MEMPHIS?”
Trump: “Quiet. You’re really obnoxious.”
“I’m not obnoxious. I’m trying to ask you about your plans for Memphis.”

when a pol says "A is a distraction from B," what they mean is "I don't want to talk about A, I want to talk about B." we can speculate as to why they want to talk about B instead of A, but the occam's razor answer is either "A polls badly for them" or "they don't actually care about A" (or both)

all of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence about executive power - all of it - can be replaced with a simple flow chart. is the president a Republican? if so it’s ok. if not, it’s presumptively not ok.
