Kansas has 4 former, living GOP governors. Two have now endorsed Adam Hamilton, the Dem, for Senate. Mike Hayden just penned this oped in the Kansas City Star this morning; Adam Graves had done the same last month.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

My latest @ms.now, on ICE’s killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, and on the striking degree to which the media has refused to just accept ICE’s narrative of things. The extent to which the NYT, WaPo, et al keep stressing ICE has no evidence of its claims seems like a real narrative shift.

Opinion | ICE deserves skepticism of its account of Houston shooting
John Pfaff: Wariness surrounding ICE’s telling of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s killing is well-earned, given the agency’s documented acts of seeming deception and dishonesty.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.

Lee Atwater was evil, but he understood this point perfectly. Mike Dukakis started the 1988 campaign with a 17-point-lead but Atwater leaned in on the weekend furlough of William Horton, bragging that his negative ad blitz was going to "make Willie Horton his running mate." It worked.
