Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body.
People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

If you watch “The Oner” be prepared. It is one of the most stressful things I’ve ever watched and it is itself all done in one take. A masterpiece.

This isn’t theater. They’re so lame. They want to be Delta Force guys from the movies so bad.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

one of the reasons bari weiss is going to fly cbs news directly into the side of a mountain is that she’s clearly been given not just editorial, but operational control, and while she doesn’t know much about the former, she has absolutely zero experience in the latter

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

No. The president is not on board. The whole point is for him to not be on board.
A potential off-ramp that senators are weighing: pass a CR for DHS (while negotiations continue) plus other full approps bills.
“It's an item that has been discussed on both sides,” says GOP Sen. Mike Rounds.
But he says a revised deal only happens “if the president is on board first.”

This stuff is new too. It is all post 9/11 and it’s a mess.
There shouldn’t be a Department of Homeland Security. It’s a grab bag of various agencies under a dangerously murky heading which can and now has been co-opted for a fascist transition.
Abolish ICE and redistribute the other agencies.

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.

Yeah people are saying that because they looked at the coverage. Literally not a response
In today's town hall, a staff member asked Bari Weiss about accusations CBS has become a right-wing outlet.
"I would respond simply by saying, look at our coverage. Look at the coverage that CBS News has put out since I started. Look at the coverage of The Free Press," she said:

This stuff is actually kind of hard to predict. NYPD is majority minority and local cops tend not to like the feds much.
Meanwhile, there are a ton of unexamined assumptions about the loyalty of key groups. Local cops may be no friends of protestors, but are they so tied to MAGA that they'll jump on the 30-side of a 70/30 national split with potentially fatal personal consequences?

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale RTd this thread, which says Trump shld act fast & “Fire people who can't be fired. Force them to litigate. Mass deport people who can't be deported. Force them to litigate. Cancel 100s of billions in funding that are not lawful to cancel & force them to litigate.” 1/

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him
