Isn’t this the kind of masculinity the GOP idolizes above all else? El-Sayed could stuff Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. into the same locker. Maybe that is why they’re so scared of him.

El-Sayed on Rogers: "What he's missing is that politics has changed since 2000 when he got in office. Now, it's not enough to just get $70m & run 30 second ads. You actually have to stand for something, & this is a guy who doesn't want to explain why he's backing Trump on the most ridiculous war..."
El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."
There may well be active duty troops in the Middle East right now who have family members locked in ICE jails. Congress authorized Military Parole-in-Place specifically to avoid this situation. But the Trump admin has shown little care to families caught in this situation.

Again: What we deserve and what we are getting are two different things. And the only way we will get what we deserve is to demand accountability and take action. The first will be thru the mid-term elections - voting to tip the balance of power to Democrats. Then bring these scoundrels to justice.

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.
