Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Breaking MS NOW:
Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.

No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW
As DHS takes over the federal investigation, current and former law enforcement agents warn that Trump’s DOJ isn’t committed to facts or fairness.

My honest best take on what's happening with ICE funding. I got it down to 10 points:
1) Trump/Miller/GOP want more ICE funding
2) Dem leadership doesn't want it but also doesn't see a way to stop it without focusing attention on it.
3) Dems consultants say focus on ICE is a political loser.

There are more than enough potential votes to be had by Democrats + true independents voters + low propensity/low information citizens to win elections in a landslide (75-80% of adults citizens): attempts to woo MAGA faithful undermine support & enthusiasm from this 75-80%.
Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

The amount of anger and resentment this cruel and corrupt administration has engendered in America’s liberal majority has not been fully realized by the Democratic Party.

I'm sorry, Appeasement Democrats, but we already tried your way. Working to hide Trump's malfeasance from the public, sanding off as many rough edges as possible, working to avoid confrontation under the theory that he wants confrontation, then trying to move on as if it didn't happen failed. Badly.

If Dems talked like this regularly, we wouldn't have to focus on "how to win close elections in difficult environments." We would have a lot fewer close elections, and a lot fewer difficult environments.
