Paul Krugman: MONSTERS - "It has been clear for a long time, to anyone willing to see, that the people running the federal government — Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more — are monsters. It has been equally obvious that ICE and the Border Patrol are now filled with sadistic thugs. Yet many people — almost the entire GOP, everyone serving in the Trump administration, some Democrats, a significant part of the media — were too cowardly to admit the obvious."
Now, finally, even some cautious, cowardly (?), "centrist," Democratic Senators can see the truth with their own eyes. Next step, refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security. It is an abomination, and a tool of oppression, murder, kidnapping, brutalizing & terrorizing human beings...
“The Trump administration and Kristi Noem are putting undertrained, combative federal agents on the streets with no accountability,” Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Democrat of Nevada, said in a statement announcing her opposition. “They are oppressing Americans and are at odds with local law enforcement. This is clearly not about keeping Americans safe. It’s brutalizing U.S. citizens and law-abiding immigrants.”
