Again: Democrats are not the party of reining in ICE. They’re the party of pausing mass deportation for administrative review—at best.
“if we talk a lot about ICE and then win, we will be expected to do something about ICE. can’t have that!” this is setting up 2 years of dicking around with bipartisan healthcare legislation that goes nowhere. that’s the plan afaict

The only places it succeeded were to generate donations for Liberty Counsel and to prompt clicks through ragebait headlines from your favorite resistance grifters.

For those who do not do PHP software development: the arrow points to an annotation which ChatGPT said according to prompt is not to be used. It also points to a code segment which is pure nonsense. It's not merely not doing what it should, it's pure nonsense, PHP will abort with a syntax error.
