Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead.
House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead.
We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

This is ugly: Trump's DOJ has effectively informed immigration judges in a new memo that they can no longer rely on rules that protect against arbitrary firing. This lays groundwork for removing them if they rule the "wrong" way too often.

Petro clarified less than an hour ago that Colombia is only blocking deportation flights using military aircraft; those carried out by ICE Air are still permitted to land.
Of note: even on regular ICE flights people are put into arm and leg shackles like prisoners.

The immunity decision does not mean that Trump can do anything now
The new administration is extreme, but that is not an excuse to say "there's no point." Also: The Trump administration has already started to take action at SCOTUS.
