happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Federal Government is sticking it to Alaska again. Using our jails to hold their criminals and refusing to pay for it. How do Republicans benefit Alaskans? Alaska is a victim of Republican usury. #akleg #akelect
Alaska faces a potential $10 million fiscal hit after a federal policy change leaves the state holding the bag for dual incarceration costs.

Federal change on 'dual holds' may cost Alaska about $10 million, Department of Law says
Deputy Attorney General Angie Kemp told a Jan. 26 House Finance subcommittee that a federal policy change ended prior funding for incarceration of defendants with companion federal cases, leaving the state largely responsible and producing an estimated fiscal impact of roughly $10 million; a joint letter to the U.S. Attorney's Office received no response, officials said.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.
Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

In other words, appeal to hatred.
It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to:
(a) years-long election campaigns
(b) unlimited political donations
(c) rampant gerrymandering

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously.
Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.
