The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act. Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Just a reminder to the Trump administration: It is not the medias job to make the president “look good” by reporting good things about him. It’s their job to keep the people informed which holds the government accountable for their actions. #impeachtrump #nokings

Homan saying that they will remove 700 agents from Minnesota is a good step, but it still leaves 2,000 terrorist personnel on the ground. ALL ICE agents must be removed. The terrorism must stop.

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.
