The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

If Cortez Masto won't vote for it, I think that means the DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the senate.

My personal guiding principle has always been "agree where you can and fight where you must." And I believe this is a time when we must fight back.

Rosen and Cortez Masto have already said they'd vote no. Call the rest.
Senate Republicans need 60 votes 2 pass the DHS funding bill. R’s only have 53 so they will need 7 Dems to vote with them.
Dems who may potentially help them:

Fetterman (PA)
Cortez Masto (NV)
Rosen (NV)
Sheehen (NH)
Hassan (NH)
King (ME)

Other agents then pepper spray Mr. Pretti, who is holding a phone in one hand and nothing in the other, and pull him to the ground.
"His concealed weapon was found only after he was restrained on the sidewalk, the videos show. It appears to have been taken from him before the agents opened fire."

NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?

- They repeatedly pepper sprayed him at point blank range and beat him when he was down
- He was attempting to help a woman who an agent threw to the ground (battery)

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The most important thing you'll ever read. It can't be emphasized enough that when the Eienhower top tax rate of 91% was degraded to 70%, then to 50% by Reagan—and now only 37%—it allowed the wealthiest to take control of our country for their own highly damaging purposes.
