Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

good on him for not agreeing to lie about Renee Good, but the line they’re fighting over is already to the right of the truth. Throwing snowballs and kicking taillights does not make protesters “half” of the story about extrajudicial killings by paramilitary troops sent on a mission to terrorize.

Sherrill is saying "outside agitators," but she's referring to the activists who've spent the past year volunteering their time to aid people visiting their loved ones at Delaney Hall, while ICE stonewalled visitors and NJ Dems twiddled their thumbs.

Governor Mikie Sherrill says it was “absolutely necessary” for the NJ State Police to attack protesters at Delaney Hall last night. This was in order for NJ State Police to “secure the area outside of Delaney Hall,” “protect public safety, and avoid escalation from ICE.” www.nj.gov/governor/new...
My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe - and an increased ICE surge in the area outside of Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety. We know that lives would be at risk were that to happen. And I will not accept that risk.

That is why last night, the New Jersey State Police Public Safety Response Team acted to secure the area outside of Delaney Hall. This was absolutely necessary to protect public safety, and avoid escalation from ICE. As Americans, we have a right to protest - and we will continue to ensure New Jersey residents can peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights.

Today and going forward, 1 urge everyone who is protesting to do so peacefully in the safe areas, and work together to bring the temperature down. We need to focus on advocating for better conditions for the detainees, for their families, and ultimately, for the closure of Delaney Hall.

I don't even know what to say
Jill Biden writes that on their bathroom mirror, she would at times leave inspirational messages like “You are my hero” or, on particularly tough days, “Get up, champ. Get up.” Sometimes, she would sneak in messages on policy, relying on her ability to be frank and open with the leader of the free world in ways that others could not. During Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, after an air strike killed seven people working for a humanitarian-aid group, she left a Post-it note on the mirror reading “Net has to stop,” a reference to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Knowing that Biden and Netanyahu would be speaking the following day, she left another note the next morning, which read: “Be strong. Don’t let BN use your goodness.”
