This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

Trump ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn in Chicago, Handing Dems an Opening

There’s one simple pledge Democrats can make to voters about ICE that’s easy to understand and will have broad support.

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

In recent events, 2,900 pages of private chats have been exposed by Politico from top young white Republican leaders.

They joked about gas chambers, praised slavery, called rape “epic,” and used racial slurs dozens of times, calling Black people n*ggers. 👇🏾

As long as Republicans need Democratic votes to pass government funding, they need to come to the table to negotiate with us.

Yup all of it! Told y’all he’d do it! You said “you couldn’t give less of a f**k” Now you’re trying desperately to make it everyone’s fault but your own! That dog won’t hunt! It’s all on you and the weakest most pathetic republican puppets(house and senate)and the 6 corrupt Supreme Court justices!
