There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Saturday I was excited to see and meet the amazing US Senate candidate from Michigan, State Sen. @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
Mallory is IN the fight for our democracy and all the things that should come with it for EVERYONE. In the Senate, she will stand up for people, not her power or position.
