Just going to note, yet again, that our entire National Conversation™️ about Congress & ICE is about What Democrats Must Do, while the actual people in Congress - all of whom are Republicans - who can really Do Something are getting Total Free Passes from the media & the online commentariat. Focus.
I'm also going to keep banging the drum that in Washington could end almost all of this immediately, by fulfilling their oaths & caucusing with the Democrats, & we should stop giving them every day & laser focus on that:

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder

Rather than being protectors of the status quo (as they run in 2024), democrats should be the party of "our institutions are broken and here's a set of reforms we propose: multi-member districts/PR, congress expansion, term limits for judges...."
A new House map proposed by the Texas GOP would take 5 seats away from Democrats.
