The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

it's easy to start an investigation of walz and frey. indictments & convictions are orders of magnitude harder. but the goal is what's important and it's nothing that breaking the power of the states which is the only brake on trump's attempted tyranny

"..but to have me included on that list and the order of our names, why? Why am I fourth, ahead of the president and vice-president?”

Awful to say it, but -- maybe it's a backhanded compliment.

With Trump, anything goes.🤔

Trump expresses his thanks to the Iranian Supreme Leader for holding off for the moment on further executions. What a completely ridiculous post.

The First Amendment gives Americans the right to peacefully observe & film ICE operations.

Visiting Minnesota today because the Trump Administration sent a poorly trained paramilitary force to harass & intimidate people.

Minnesotans exercising their rights said HELL NO.

Have had the unfortunate experience of watching broadcast all day. Insanity inducing to watch the coverage of last night ("they threw water bottles!").

Heavily armed men attacked an entire neighborhood. People only smashed cars *after* feds had left the area and poisoned blocks of family homes.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Ed Markey and Ayanna Pressley’s push to end qualified immunity for ICE agents?

Khanna: I support it. Renee Good’s murder was an outrage, but we must not forget that five years ago, George Floyd was murdered by Minnesota police—and nothing happened.

Khanna: You have people being dragged out of their cars. Someone with disabilities who was harassed by ICE agents. You have a couple whose windows were smashed because they were simply exercising their First Amendment rights…. we need accountability and justice when we’re back in power.

Khanna: Joe Rogan is saying you’ve got a rogue agency. Basically, ICE is acting as the president’s private police. They’re going and knocking on Americans’ doors. They’re harassing people in their cars. They’ve taken over an entire state.

On the Legality of the Venezuela Invasion
Executive branch precedents can be garnered to support the action—which does not, of course, mean that it is lawful.
