Democrats in the House and Senate announced plans for a wide-ranging investigation into immigration agents’ detention of citizens after a ProPublica story found that more than 170 Americans have been held by immigration officials this year.

Today, Congressional Democrats are spotlighting a particularly troubling part of Trump's immigration dragnet: the American kids — including some featured in ProPublica's reporting — who have been collateral damage in the deportation campaign.

Rep Seth Moulton & Sen Ruben Gallego are leading the way responding to Trump’s unconstitutional, int #war crimes
But Venezuela, #ICE, #Epstein, tariffs, Trump’s billionaire-fluffing, are all of a piece. So the broader narrative goes like this

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer’s office says a bipartisan #funding deal has been reached to avoid a government #shutdown as #Senate #Republicans try to set up a Thursday vote.
The deal, according to the minority leader, includes the separation of the 5 bipartisan appropriation bills that #Democrats had asked for & a 2-week stopgap funding extension for #DHS.
Senate #GOP leadership is now taking steps to schedule a vote for Thursday night.

Getting more Democrats behind this should be a priority for progressives in the USA.
NEW: Democrats Demand Answers for Federal Prison Staffing Shortage After Corrections Officers Flee for ICE Jobs
The federal prison staffing shortage, exacerbated by corrections officers fleeing to ICE jobs, has contributed to more lockdowns, more violence and less access to recidivism-reducing programs, the lawmakers noted in their letter to the BOP director.

Without weighing in on the electoral politics of the situation, I think it's worth registering that Graham Platner receives press coverage suggesting he's a left-leaning, progressive politician, yet in his personal life his actions are consistent with a far-right sensibility. Similar comments apply to Gavin Newsom. If you're into voting for blue-tinted rightwingers and you like to call them Democrats that's up to you, but call a spade a spade eh?

I mean c’mon people. The racist 1994 Clinton #Crime Bill co-authored by #Biden, HRC calling Black teens “superpredators,” #Obama droning more people than any #POTUS in #history including an American teenager and Arabs innocently attending a wedding, HRC endorsing the illegal coup in #Honduras (supporting murder exactly like Kissinger himself would have), Obama vacationing while Black Missourians in Ferguson were being gassed by militarized #police, Biden deporting more Haitians than any POTUS in history and smearing our college students who opposed his #genocide in #Palestine “antisemitic.” Vichy #Democrats hardly repaired any of the damage of fascist #Republicans.

Raw Story:
'The vibes aren't great' at the White House as Trump chaos grows: Politico
Politico’s Dash Burns claimed White House insiders admit things are not going well on multiple fronts.
Speaking with the hosts of “Morning Joe,” Burns claimed Trump insiders are dismayed at how badly things are going...
“Listen, the vibes aren't great,” ...

I really, truly hate how accurate this is.

#Democrats suck in many ways but if you don't see a difference with real stakes in your own life, and marginalized communities, you're not a serious person
If you want good, rather than just better in ways that feel inadequate, that requires your participation. Standing on the sideline and judging doesn't help the world in any way. That only helps how you feel about yourself. And how you feel about yourself isn't more important than real world stakes
It matters

#ELONMUSKS HALF A
BILLION-DOLLAR FAIL 💎
Elon #Musk has spent nearly half a billion dollars trying to influence the American #midterm elections, and the results are extraordinary.
Of the 43 #Republican House candidates he backed, only three had won when #Reuters reported the results. Six of his seven #Senate candidates had lost, with the remaining race still undecided.
In #Texas, home to #Tesla and #SpaceX, Musk spent almost $230 million on the Senate contest alone. Yet the Democrats won both the Senate race and the governorship.
Now, with #Democrats taking control of #Congress, Musk faces the prospect of investigations into his government contracts, political activities, and his involvement with #DOGE.
None of this means his businesses are finished. #Tesla and SpaceX remain enormously significant enterprises, and Musk remains an extraordinarily wealthy and influential man.
But something important has happened.
One of the richest people on #Earth has discovered that spending vast sums of money does not guarantee the #political outcome he wants.
#Wealth can buy #advertising, access, and influence. It cannot guarantee the consent of the electorate.
And perhaps the most interesting question now is whether #America's political institutions can hold extraordinarily powerful individuals accountable, regardless of their wealth.
MONEY IS POWER. BUT IT ISN'T EVERYTHING, ELON.

You may need a subscription to read this, so I'll summarize: Democratic Party apparatchiks have taken control of the Troy Jackson for Senate campaign in Maine, are maddeningly centrist, and are trying to stifle questions at town halls. I can tell you for a fact that party officials do not respond when constituents contact them with concerns. These people never, ever learn. #Politics #Democrats #Democracy #Maine #Senate #US #USpol https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/maine-senate-democratic-party-troy-jackson-graham-platner-susan-collins.html
