Nobody who voluntarily draws a paycheck from ICE should be allowed anywhere near government or civil service. There's no innocent reason to apply to work for ICE, you did that because you wanted to hunt brown people

I thought that my cringe by association was maxed out by Bobby Jindal. Then Vivek Ramaswamy. Then Usha Vance. But no one makes me want to apologize for my people more than Kash Patel. What a snively asshole who ticks all the negative stereotypes of an arrogant condescending self-centered Indian man.

I'm seeing a lot of cynical reactions to this move from Cory Booker. And I get it!! But performative opposition is a necessary part of effective opposition from the minority. Not sufficient, but necessary. And our electeds need to know we notice when they do well and not just when they do poorly.

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something. is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
