Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.
Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

Your job is to represent the people of New York.
Your job is to actually effectively manage your caucus
You are not especially good at either of these jobs, you should probably not try to take on others

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

Everything the man touches turns to ash. Our cultural heritage; destroyed. Our national treasures; plundered.

It's not that the truth doesn't matter to them. It's that the lies are essential to their survival.
Karoline Leavitt lies shamelessly: "Under Joe Biden, murders were up. Violent crime was up." (Biden brought crime dramatically down from where it was in 2020, the last year of Trump's first term)

Incumbents will be tempted to lay low, make minimal promises and coast in complacently. They need to be pushed -- primary challengers and town halls, etc.
Get promises of action now so they hit the ground running when they retake Congress. Stake out a clear agenda, win a strong mandate, get moving.

Leaving aside Trump, it’s a mark of elite impunity that neither Musk nor Bezos, Thiel, and Vance have been ”forced to answer” for any of their controversial words and actions. Have any non-sycophantic journalists interviewed Bezos about his intentional destruction of WaPO, to take just one example?
Forcing Musk to have to answer for things like being in the files after calling out Trump for being there, begging to go to the island, and—TODAY, IN 2016—defending Epstein by describing the largest child rape ring of the century as "partying with young women," is one way to haunt this motherfucker!
"I can be a pedophile all on my own" is not the flex he thinks it is.

ICE/CBP want to terrify people into submission and compliance so that they can operate with impunity, unimpeded, in semi-secrecy. It is not working. In every urban center these masked goons descend upon, the local community is rallying in solidarity.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
