it’s good this happened and it’s another reason the death penalty should not exist. this never should’ve had to come down to a last minute decision by a governor. we suck at the death penalty, get rid of it

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

not only immoral but completely handicapped the party from capitalizing on this backlash, everyone involved should be drummed out of politics forever

When ICE began as an agency in March 2003, 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” was topping the Hot 100.
That was 22 years ago.

But ICE is a very new agency.

All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year.
It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

The Democrats could have blocked the 60 votes needed to advance. They didn't. They are already caving.
Thank the 9, and yell at the rest.
