The GOP doesn't want a rule that ICE can't wear masks for fear of doxxing. If the agents weren't acting like absolute Gestapo thugs, it wouldn't be a problem.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me."
--Homan in February

"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

I know we are supposed to welcome new converts into the fold without being self righteous, but I’m getting a little tired of the routine. He does multiple impeachable acts a day and JUST NOW YOUVE SEEN THE LIGHT?

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

Thinking of using the video of the Minneapolis shooting as a hiring tool. If you think the driver was trying to run over the ICE agent, I’m not hiring you.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

I guess now that Trump got the FIFA peace prize and strapped the medal around his neck he can expand his murder operation in the Caribbean with more gusto.

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

I’m undecided whether I want the next President to tear the ballroom down or use it as a homeless shelter

The files have either been scrubbed of Trump’s name or the DOJ is preparing to not release on grounds of an “ongoing investigation”

Anyone who believes that there are Republican votes in the Senate to pass a health care bill or that the House will even have a vote on the issue is too stupid to be a ditch digger, much less a Senator

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Remember this next year. The Republican gerrymandering is going to backfire spectacularly. Let’s take an area with 3 districts that are currently R+20, R+20, D+10. It gets gerrymandered into 3 R+10 districts. If things continue on their current trajectory, the Republicans could lose all 3 districts
