I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

This is America.
Maydee, still confronting the officers, says
"Where is the warrant?" Officer Lugo, according to his nameplate, says "Ma'am we are trying our best but they are federal."
Morales again asks for the warrant.
"They're federal."
"They still need a warrant."
Another officer, frustrated, says "They don't need a warrant." Finally, one of them tells the truth. Due process is not a matter they're concerned with.

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

Stephen Miller is the only member of the administration I’ve seen comment on the SCOTUS ruling, which says they have to bring him back from El Salvador, and it’s not looking good.
Stephen Miller &
@StephenM
False. SCOTUS rejected the lower court and made clear that a district court judge cannot exercise Article Il foreign affairs powers. The illegal alien terrorist is in the custody and control of a sovereign foreign nation.

Here’s our full statement from me for @wisdems.bsky.social. Read, share—and then if you want to help ensure that Musk’s lawbreaking to help Schimel backfires, donate and volunteer to help Susan Crawford: CrawfordForWI.com

“Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. Musk’s illegal election bribery scheme to put Brad Schimel on the Supreme Court is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law in Wisconsin and our nation. 

Elon Musk should be brought to justice for his illegal attempt to buy votes for Brad Schimel, and Brad Schimel should immediately condemn Musk’s crimes and disavow his continued involvement in his campaign. If Schimel does not immediately call on Musk to end this criminal activity, we can only assume he is complicit.

Law enforcement must act now before this goes any further. Musk’s crime to assist Brad Schimel has already been committed, and if Elon Musk sets foot in Wisconsin, he should be placed in handcuffs and held accountable—just like any other criminal. Musk can have his day in court, but he cannot buy the court.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
Screenshot of a McConnell tweet declaring “this week in the Senate proved that clumsy partisan jams will not work” after he filibustered a Democratic spending bill and Democrats agreed to allow a McConnell-preferred clean bill to pass to avert a shutdown.
