Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen:
"We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

This was Mike Johnson's third failed rule vote of the 119th Congress, bringing him closer to tying the modern era record for rule failure in the House.

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.
Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.
The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.
Not clear why Johnson is still holding this vote open

In body cam video from Oct. 4, also released today per Judge Alexakis' order, an agent can be heard saying, "it's time to get aggressive and get the fuck out, cuz they're trying to box us in" as car horns go off in the background.
7 seconds later, another agent says, "we're gonna make contact."

This was a failed coup by the Trump administration against Democratic members of Congress. Everyday Americans on the grand jury stopped it. The 6 targets were right all along—don’t follow illegal orders. Speak truth to power. Because it will prevail.

Yes, it's as bad as you suspected. Trump is abusing the power of his office to revive falsehoods and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election—and to orchestrate a phony scenario that will let Republicans skew the midterms.
FBI’s Fulton County affidavit confirmed what we’ve long suspected: seizure of ballots based on discredited/recycled falsehoods about 2020 election pushed by election deniers & designed to sow mistrust in election system so that Trump can interfere in midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The FBI's Fulton County raid was based on debunked claims by election deniers
The evidence provided for seizing 700 boxes of ballots was shockingly thin.

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

Trump is using ICE like a secret police force. They’ve used Gestapo-like tactics to terrorize communities for nearly a year, and now they’re literally killing people. This can’t be America.
I was the first member of Congress to call for abolishing ICE. November’s elections can’t come soon enough.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.
