Just seen some advice to Burnham from Thatcher (h/t @ryanshorthouse.bsky.social): "Never be bewitched by public opinion polls. They change very quickly. Set out your political principles, explain what you believe and why, the policies which flow from them, and how you're going to implement them."

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE agents in Maine killed a father on his way to work yesterday: Joan Sebastian Guerrero, 26. The week before, agents killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, a father of three. The Trump administration isn't returning America to a nostalgic past. It's plunging families into a horrific present.

Remarkable how shook Fox is by the footage of Trump wearing a tacky campaign hat to a dignified transfer

These numbers are a shitshow. The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

The public deserves full transparency about every ICE agent, including their identities, backgrounds, and training. Recent events suggest these agents lack even the basic professional standards expected of law-enforcement officers. Who are these amateurs terrorizing our streets?

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

The murder of Renee Good by ICE has shocked the nation. The President is deploying his own personal armed thugs into the streets of America. In all my years, I've never seen anything like it. (ft. W. Kamau Bell)

Your president must have done something really bad to have invaded a sovereign country, supported an ICE murder & threatened Greenland, by extension NATO, all to distract Americans from the Epstein files. Am I right?

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Tina Smith: "I've worked closely with law enforcement in my roles at state and local government, and I have never seen anybody describe as protocol holding a cell phone and taking video while you are simultaneously shooting a gun that ends up killing somebody. It's kind of unbelievable."

Walz: "I saw an individual at the scene identify themselves as medical personnel and ask to provide aid, and an ICE agent said 'I do not care.' That lack of humanity was chilling to me."

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!
