Am I the only one asking myself: "wait Biden just sat on all this Epstein shit?"
You can hardly blame the Trumpers for thinking before they got in "surely if Biden or Kamala had reams upon reams of deeply incriminating stuff about Trump they would have just released it and won in a landslide"

With the budget negotiations: the current plan funds the whole gov for a year but then DHS for only two weeks, in order to "negotiate reforms"? Am I correct that if Democrats had a backbone, they'd essentially be setup to actually "abolish ICE" by simply not ever agreeing to reforms in the Senate?

November should be a slam dunk for the Democrats, but I don't see how it is if they don't get rid of Schumer by then. How can anyone believe they'll do something when they left the worst person in place for 2 straight years despite having 100% power to replace him?

I genuinely don't understand how @schumer.senate.gov is still the minority leader in the Senate. Like this shouldn't be that hard -- he's 15 points more underwater than the other leaders -- even Jeffries. Why will no one challenge him?

I actually do think Trump drove "change in tone" but the scary part is just that he's well attuned enough to needing to be loved that he knows when the fascist descent is moving to fast and he needs to slow down enough to get people comfortable again with the creeping.

I'm mostly shocked not by the awfulness of her dictactes but the sheer incompetence, vapidness and cluelessness here. It's clear she's cosplaying as someone who knows how to run a news network. "more streaming less broadcast" is some Kendall Roy shit.

Mamdani is the nation's king of the affordability message, but he's not afraid to say Abolish ICE or argue for it. Do I think Dems should campaign on "Abolish ICE" as primary core message? Probably not. Should they say it, adopt the position, and argue for it? Yea.
People are waving around 50/50 polling on abolish ICE and in the same poll Trump’s is like 30 points under water on affordability. It’s not at all crazy for professional politicians to think there’s a bigger advantage in talking about the latter!

100 : 1 not a single ICE agent knows the history Hmong in Laos and how they came to the US.
FUCK THESE BASTARDS FOREVER.
FUCK THESE BASTARDS FOREVER.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

In retrospect the whole "electronic music artists should say nothing and let the music speak for itself" ethos was a good move so we can enjoy their music many decades later instead of having to hear about how much they like Donald Trump and hate immigrants now.

This is so important. It's so tempting go with a "Trump said he'd go after criminals not workers" narrative cause it's been shown to poll well, but we can't forget that the basic fact of migrant crime being out of control is a lie. Policies MUST ultimately rest on truth, whether or not it polls.
Just a regular reminder that the ENTIRE premise behind the draconian and militaristic immigration enforcement we have been witnessing the past year is based on an empirically disproven lie.

Bruce Sprinsteen's entire career is his music being used to prop up American chauvanism and him being like "um, not that's exactly what I'm against did you listen to any of the words?"
In a surprise appearance in New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen denounced the Trump administration’s ICE deployments and dedicated a song to Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis this month.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.
