“BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”
Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

This isn't even the first impeachable offense Noem has committed, but given how hard impeachments are... I'd take it. (her comments about 'liberating' California and the assault on Senator Padilla she ordered at the time should also have been impeachment material, quite frankly...)
ICE’s killing of Renee Good, a mother of three, was caused by the Trump Administration’s intentionally inhumane & chaotic deployments. Kristi Noem is dangerously unfit for the dire responsibility of DHS Secretary & should be impeached immediately. kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/01/08/r...

Seven Dem senators voted to confirm a Trump judicial nominee today, and I really do not think I'm asking for much when I say that Democrats should not be doing favors for a president whose masked thugs murdered a woman in the streets 24 hours ago www.senate.gov/legislative/...

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Purely as a matter of form rather than ideology, the next Democratic president's policy towards low-level white collar criminals and fraud should resemble a Tsarist pogrom.
without comment on any particular scams I think scamming is going to be a gigantic part of our lives going forward and I have no confidence whatsoever in a Trump administration to do anything useful about it. the kicker is that Dems need a much better plan as well
