  • Chilling Video Shows Trump's ICE Agents Shooting & Killing Man In Minneapolis

  • Furious Democrats float national guard, government shutdown over latest Minneapolis shooting

  • Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said in a statement to Axios: "This tragic event requires a thorough and independent investigation with full transparency."

    However this fuckin shithead is feeling today it isn't nearly badly enough

  • Furious Democrats float national guard, government shutdown over latest Minneapolis shooting

    Jump

  • The bill [funding DHS without constraining ICE or CBP] passed the House but needs support from at least seven Senate Democrats, who are now under more pressure than ever to block it.

    Not saying they will, but the Dems totally could do something about this right now. Call and/or email your senator.

  • Democrats vote to hand Trump hundreds of billions for immigration crackdown and global war

    Jump

  • How many of those 200 are calling for those 7 to be removed from office?

  • Trump-Greenland Deal Reportedly Includes U.S. ‘Sovereignty Over Small Pockets’ of Territory

  • So when Trump feels like he needs another distraction from the Epstein files or just decides to throw a narcissistic hissy fit and starts attacking NATO again will they just keep giving him more of Greenland?

  • DHS bill emerges as key point of contention among Democrats angered over ICE

    Jump

  • In endorsing a bill that would carry forward a huge spike in funding to ICE, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), the senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, acknowledged it excludes most of the ICE reforms Democrats have demanded since the Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis. But a shutdown or a short-term spending patch, she argued, would be worse.

    “A continuing resolution will jettison the guardrails we have secured while ceding authority to President Trump, Stephen Miller, and [DHS] Secretary [Kristi] Noem,” she said Tuesday morning.

    New regulatory guardrails aren't going to even slow down ICE a little bit, we already have a mountain of examples of them ignoring their current regulations and lying about their conduct constantly. The only thing that will restrain them is denying them the resources they need to carry out their campaign of oppression.

    What's really frustrating tho is I'm sure Rep DeLauro knows all of that already and she's just trying to push this bullshit through anyway.

  • “I think it would help both sides to appreciate the fact that that’s a human being across from you who may or may not want to do the things they’ve been ordered to do. In my long history being in and out of the Department [of Homeland Security], it is very often what makes the news are the terrible things that happen but what doesn’t get reported are the … stories about agents bringing toys into the border patrol station,” he said.

    "We aren't bad guys, sometimes we bring toys to the children we are imprisoning" I couldn't fucking satirize how stupidly evil you dipshits are any better if I tried holy fuck

  • Are Trump's supporters getting what they want from his second term? Here's what a new poll shows

    Jump

  • In the link you sent

    His net approval rating in our average dropped from -12.0 on Monday to -12.9 today.

    RCP is actually showing a higher approval rating than my linked one from Nate Silver.

    I think the important part is that the RCP one is also headed down

    In RealClearPolitics’ straightforward polling averages, Trump’s net job approval dropped from minus-8.6 percent on January 9 to minus-13.2 percent a week later.

    Also

    The freshest polling is unusually negative, with CNN showing minus-19 percent net approval (40 percent approval, 59 percent disapproval).

    Public opinion might change in a week when we get distracted with the next thing, and I think either way it's going to have to get a lot more intensely negative to have any kind of impact, but I think at least there is good reason to believe that most Americans are upset by the murder of Renee Good specifically and ICE brutalizing the country generally

  • Disastrous poll shows Trump’s White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’

    Jump

  • Come to the realization this whole country should have come to back in the 1960s when they were actively recruiting KKK members and accept that there is no reforming the Republican party and that their organization must be shoved into the dustbin of history

    Good news is fewer people self identify as Republican than basically ever before, so things are actually headed in the right direction with public opinion

  • Disastrous poll shows Trump’s White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’

    Jump

  • Except there are fewer people identifying as Republican than ever before so that statistic doesn't mean all that much. When people go from approving to disapproving of Trump they just leave the GOP because it's a cult that is extremely hostile to dissent, so the ratio of Republicans who approve of him stays high while his popularity with the general public continues to go down.

  • Are Trump's supporters getting what they want from his second term? Here's what a new poll shows

    Jump

  • That page is still showing his average dropping a whole point in less than a week, and it seems like almost everyone else is showing an even more pronounced slide (arc)

    In RealClearPolitics’ straightforward polling averages, Trump’s net job approval dropped from minus-8.6 percent on January 9 to minus-13.2 percent a week later. Silver Bulletin’s more nuanced averages place his net approval at pretty much the same place: minus-13.1 percent. At the relatively new FiftyPlusOne site, Trump’s net approval is all the way down to minus-16 percent. The freshest polling is unusually negative, with CNN showing minus-19 percent net approval (40 percent approval, 59 percent disapproval). Marist is showing minus-18 percent net approval (39 percent approval, 57 percent disapproval), and Reuters-Ipsos is showing minus-17 percent net approval (41 percent approval, 58 percent disapproval). For a while now, even Trump’s favorite polling outlet, Rasmussen Reports, has placed his job approval well underwater (net approval is minus-8 percent now).

  • Because our elected officials refuse to talk like this and many constantly stress how bipartisan they try to be with everything. Saying "about 35% of this country are raving psychopaths who can not be compromised with and must be disempowered" is not an easy feel good campaign message but it's what people need to hear.

  • Minnesota Can Prosecute Jonathan Ross—But It May Not Be Easy

    Jump

  • I mean, I was already pretty amazed by the notion that convicting Ross of murder just based on the videos everyone's already seen could be anything other than easy, but that's the American legal system for you

  • Donald Trump says eight European countries face 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure they were going to do that anyway just because it will be a huge windfall for businesses who were able to pass tariff costs along to consumers but will be the only ones getting refunded anyway, but, yeah, Trump's aggressive idiocy is really making it easy for them
