Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Yes. And I spent this weekend curating the 34 most important exchanges in the Jack Smith testimony here youtube.com/live/6a1TCDY... and then filed a response to DoJ in federal court over release of the Epstein redaction training videos here youtube.com/live/c3NVDAQ...
Two things were happening as Trump decided to launch his imperial strike on Venezuela. One was the DOJ filing w/the court explanations for their redactions in the Epstein files they released. The other was Jim Jordan’s release of the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony.
So I read the transcript.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

This piece is exactly right. I'm seeing people protest it by saying, "Why would Trump deliberately hurt people who voted for him?" And that's the problem: Trying to find "logic" in the thinking of an addled sociopathic narcissist is a fool's game.
