When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Well past time for new blood to step in and wrangle leadership from the old guard. I especially support @drannieandrews.com and and all healthcare leaders to step up and run for public office. No better time than the current to take a big swing!

THIS IS NOT LEGAL. Trump is assaulting the law. His ideas (eg assault on universities, science, etc) are not new. What’s new is the direct—and thus far largely successful—attack on the rule of law.

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles
