On that last point, in the decade before COVID, a full 82% of all ICE arrests occurred at local jails and prisons, where the "arrest" was just a custody transfer.
ICE's Fugitive Operations division, which did most "at-large" enforcement, had fewer than 750 officers as of January. Seriously.

Imagine what they're doing out of sight that makes them feel their behavior toward the public is acceptable and normal. That kind of attitude, the institutional culture it represents, doesn't happen just because some protesters have said things you don't like; it comes from practicing violence.

the entire contradiction at the heart of the last 15 years of dem dysfunction has been simultaneously insisting the only mechanism for punishing republican malfeasance is the vote while also adopting a posture of bipartisan comity with those very politicians voters are supposed to be disciplining.
he should be saying their failures to act are grave violations of their oaths of office, a disgrace to the senate, blah blah blah. he should be making the case to the public to be mad, not dumping it on our laps and saying “you do something about it”

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Administrations have come up with lots of flimsy rationales for why their wars don't need congressional authorization over the years, but this might be the most transparently bad faith and facially absurd.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

It’s clear by how Trump behaves he has no concept of accountability & doesn’t expect to ever face it. He’s on to the next crime spree while we’re contemplating the last. I don’t see him as trying to distract from Epstein with Venezuela cuz I don’t think he really thinks he’ll be caught at anything.

It’s actually safe to say that US probably will not accept any Venezuelan president who doesn’t explicitly promise to collaborate with its persecution of Venezuelans in America
No one knows what will happen from here, and we hope for the best, but it’s shocking to have violently overthrown a government and invaded a country explicitly vowing to not only take no displaced persons or refugees but send those already here back no matter how bad it gets.
