⚡️ UNREAL — NC5 has CANCELED the debate because @MarshaBlackburn 🐔chickened out and then @RepJohnRose did too 🤔 What an absolute joke this Republican primary for governor is. Marsha is taking Republican voters for granted, and Rose clearly has ZERO interest in winning.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

I know consultants tell Dems to only talk about affordability but it seems like you ought to be able to get voters to care about elementary schools being bombed & people being shot in the streets as Trump pardons thieves, drug dealers & violent criminals while grifting billions.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

After weeks of “just trust Trump” cope, he’s now helplessly watching a war he swore would be “over quickly” spiral—while claiming he “calls all the shots.” Trump begged Netanyahu not to strike Iran…but Israel bombed Tehran anyway. Trump screamed at Bibi: “You’re fucking crazy.” Master negotiator.🙄
