Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump. Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

As FBI agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, Wednesday, lurking in the shadows of the operation was Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Minnesota does not have a state law that requires law enforcement to wear body cameras. And there's no broad federal law that requires federal officers to wear them, there's also no federal law stating they're exempt. Minnesota should fix this asap. Not a single person in this photo has one.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Garrison Davis is able to summarize far better than me, but this is a grift on so many levels: the gamification of political events, rampant insider trading by decision-makers, more fodder for “content,” making bribes circular, confusing (influencing) betting odds as polling data. Horror show.

I don’t even know how to begin to address the harms that “predictive markets” (sports betting, but for political/market decisions) will wreak on our already-weakened democratic system. You can’t bet on subjective actions that a single/set of decision-makers can change (maybe based on those bets).

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent. Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.
