This is a ‘good strategy’ in game theory terms if you assume Trump will punish you for not rolling over and showing deference and democrats won’t. Democrats should think about altering those incentives.

Their excuse for this kind of support is that police are providing crowd control. But it's unclear to me why ICE needs any support from anyone, given the historic amount of money the agency has and their enormous workforce. Why are local cops subsidizing federal agents?

Judge Sorokin largely side-steps the issue, but eventually it's going to be inescapable. The government cannot simultaneously claim to be a unified extension of Trump's executive will, and yet insulate itself from his overt racism, corruption, and resentment.

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!

Fort Hood shooter's execution by. firing squad will be livestreamed, Defense Department says

The announcement came after earlier comments Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made indicating he wanted the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan to be public. Hasan is a former U.S. Army psychiatrist who opened fire on dozens of people at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, killing 13 people and injuring 32 others.

Pretty dishonest for Puck to describe Supreme Court expansion as an "unpopular position that could motivate the GOP base and alienate independents" when *the very same post* cites a poll finding support for expansion at +6 overall and +12 among independents puck.news/the-dems-cou...

Interestingly, the most recent discussions are being driven by centrists hoping to preempt a more radicalbacklash. Third Way, the center-left think tank, is urging moderate Democrats to back common-sensereforms to prevent the left from pushing court expansion, an unpopular position that could motivate theG.O.P. base and alienate independents. Instead, Third Way executive
Lanae Erickson
is suggesting thatDems pass legislation that would place 18-year term limits on justices—a cadence that would eventually leadto the appointment of two new justices every presidential term. The proposed reforms would allow thosewho have completed a full term to step in and hear cases on the lower court, or when a justice recusesthemselves from a case. “If we are going to win in 2028, we have to show that we can meet voters wherethey are in terms of their level of anger and their desire for reforms,” said Erickson. “I think if the center left isseen as just aligned with the establishment, saying
Let’s just put things back together the way they were ayear and a half ago—
we’re going to get beat by the bigger ideas on the left.”
