We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.
What does that say about the Democratic establishment?
Primary season is on right now, folks.
We all deserve better.

Reminder.
minneapolis is under siege and it is taking basically all of ICE’s manpower
they cannot replicate this across the country and they aren’t close to recruiting the kind of numbers they’d need to even get close
they are, flatly, not going to be able to get there

We went to see @mikemasse.com tonight. If you've never seen his Viral video of him performing 'Africa' you prob don't know who he is. Great covers of various songs from the 70s / 80s, basically a dinner theater thing that I took my GF parents to and everyone had a great time!

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Senate Democrats are the only group of people in America that could look at the election results from *less than a week ago* and conclude, “Ah, what the people want now is for us to roll over and show our bellies to the reactionary creeps”

You know what's more enraging than the Trump regime shitting all over the constitution and the American people? @schumer.senate.gov and his ilk capitulating to them time and time again, even when winning on an issue. And then they'll wonder why people don't show up to vote in 2026. Again. #shutdown
