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.
"A vote for me is a vote to close the camps and to indict everyone involved in the abduction and abuse of our neighbors." "A vote for me is a vote for the survivors of Epstein's crimes to see justice." "A vote for me is a vote to force billionaires to pay what they owe so we can have what we need."
He really just does not give a shit.

Rachel Bitecofer@rachelbitecofer.bsky.social · 7mo agoTrump was asked about Iran tonight, and if he had any message to the families of the service members who were killed. He ignored those questions, and instead commented on new statues that he has installed in the rose garden.
Polish PM Tusk: "Pedophilia is a crime against humanity, especially as on Epstein’s scale. The place of those who were involved, doesn’t matter who they are, is in prison, and in the longer run, in hell. There is no room for any compromise here."
WHISTLEBLOWER: ICE cut almost half it's training program, specifically the parts about the Constitution, the US legal system, use of force, proper arrest and detention, and WEAPONS TRAINING. THAT is why US citizens are being murdered and agents are dropping their guns.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 7mo agoBreaking MS NOW: An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.
Imagine this in a trial. Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing Declaration filed in federal court: "I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
Heather Randell@heatherrandell.bsky.social · 8mo agoThe Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...
Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.
Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…
People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
Colombian President Petro commenting on the US; “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
AOC: I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.
It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
Earlier this year, we filed a FOIA lawsuit to find out more about ICE's plans to expand mass detention. The public deserves transparency.
ACLU of Colorado@acluofcolorado.bsky.social · last yr.BREAKING: We sued ICE after they failed, once again, to give us information on their plans for expanded immigrant detention in Colorado and Wyoming.
This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause
By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.
