This is where El-Sayed differed most spectacularly from Stevens, & it may well account for his victory. A "policing" force such as ICE's "gestapo," made up of thugs and rioters and criminals, cannot be rescued or reformed; there's nothing good there to retain.

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."

Everyone involved in bringing these bogus prosecutions must face criminal charges, from the AG down to the line prosecutors at DOJ. If there are no penalties for this behavior, they will never stop.

Holy shit! Jim Jordan is reduced to stammering when Kasie Hunt presses him on why he continues to support Max Miller despite credible allegations that he abused his ex-wife and toddler daughter

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.

You dedicate your entire life to trying to keep the public healthy and deal with disease outbreaks and multiple medical crises, and at the end of a career where you have saved millions of lives, you're forced to sit in front of crazy-ass Rand fucking Paul and avoid a perjury trap. Just vile.

Rand Paul needs to get his head out of his ass - stop obsessing over a man who saved millions of lives and go after child rapists. Release the #EpsteinFiles.

BREAKING: Dr. Anthony Fauci is invoking the Fifth Amendment and declining to answer questions from senators in the Republican-led hearing about his handling of the COVID pandemic. Fauci is accusing Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession" with him.

The guy that they want you to be terrified of (Mamdani) is making sure kids in NYC are fed all summer and people have access to cheaper groceries, all while they take food away from kids getting SNAP. Just sayin, feeding kids should make you the good guy.

Outgoing Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are reportedly undecided about Todd Blanche's nomination for AG. A single GOP "No" vote in committee this Thursday could tank Blanche's nomination entirely. Call and tell them to reject Blanche: (202) 224-3121

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

Feeding hungry people … If this is “socialism” I’ll take it.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.

Netanyahu is a war criminal. But he is not the problem. The problem is that he has been elected SIX TIMES.

COMMENTARY: The Pentagon Says Some Servicemember Deaths Don’t Count

Proud to join the picket line for the Public Defenders Union. Fair contract now!

Someone showed up at our regular Sunday banner drop / sign wave with this sign. My new favorite message.

Call Congress: 202-224-3121.

Senator Tammy Baldwin@baldwin.senate.gov · last wk.

Donald Trump has shown he can’t end the war he started, so Congress needs to.

The Epstein Files haven’t been released because rich, powerful people want the child sex trafficking to continue. In the end, I hope they all get exposed even if it destroys governments around the world.
