  1. Unsurprising, but still shocking

    Noem says >250 #DACA recipients #arrested & dozens #deported in 2025

    #DHS Secy #KristiNoem said in a letter to #Democratic Sen #DickDurbin & other senators that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program provides just that, a deferral of removal “for a period of time.” [dog killing demon]

    Durbin & Sens #AlexPadilla (D-CA) & #MarkKelly (D-AZ) blasted the treatment of DACA recipients, known as #Dreamers.

  3. What does a list of spineless fucking QUNTS look like?

    #CatherineCortezMasto (NV),
    #DickDurbin (IL), #MaggieHassan (NH), #TimKaine (VA), #JackyRosen (NV), #Jeanne Shaheen (NH) and #AngusKing (ME).
    FUCK them ALL - especially the dribbling #Repugliqunt in disguise #JohnFetterman!

  4. #PamBondi straight up refuses to answer Sen #DickDurbin when he asked her if she discussed the Chicago raids with the White House. She then attacks him claiming #Democrats for the #shutdown.

    She also totally lies about #Chicago murder rates claiming it is five times that of NY.

    Here are the facts:

  5. Sen #DickDurbin from #Illinois gave a pointed opening statement prior to #PamBondi’s hearing, calling the #DOJ under her leadership a disgrace.

    Bondi just straight up lied in her opening statement saying, “we have never defied a court order.”

    Outrageous.

    I’m old enough to remember the whistleblower who reported #EmilBove literally telling DOJ attorneys that they would need to tell the #judiciary “fuck you”.

  6. @froomkin.bsky.social By a strange coincidence I was in the Senate gallery on Sep 2 when Thune threatened to do this unless Dems caved. Then Schumer got up and said Dems wouldn't be changing course, in fact he gave a (unexpected by me) banger of a speech. Dick Durban made a few good points too, keeping in mind he was barely audible to people in the gallery...he's a low talker.

    'Egos are often part of the territory in politics, but I have never
    seen a bully in the Oval Office with such a nakedly fragile ego.
    Earlier today, I got to see that ego in all its ugly glory while I was
    driving to the Capitol. In driving past the Department of Labor, I got
    to see [...] the massive banners that have Donald Trump's face airbrushed on them. [...] For generations, Americans have looked at these kinds of images and laughed at them [...] because they are such obvious signs of deep insecurity.
    Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other bullies throughout
    history have depended on these images because they were desperate to seem powerful and important and untouchable.' - Chuck Schumer

  7. “Bove has led the effort to weaponize the Department of Justice against the president’s enemies,”said Sen #DickDurbin, the top #Democrat on the cmte. “Having earned his stripes as a loyalist to this president, he’s been rewarded with this lifetime nomination.”
    Bove’s hearing came a day after the filing of the #whistleblower complaint from a fmr #DOJ lawyer who was fired in April after conceding in court that #KilmarAbregoGarcia, a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to an #ElSalvador prison

  8. …“This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” #MikeLee wrote Sunday on his personal account on the social platform X.

    Shortly after, he commented, “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” referring to #Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz (D), alongside a photo of the suspected shooter.

    The 2 remarks were condemned by numerous #Democrats. Senate Minority Whip #DickDurbin (D-IL) called Lee’s remarks “beyond dangerous” & “absolutely unacceptable.”

    RFK’s ignorance. Massive cuts to research on ALS and dementia. Scientists fired.

  10. During #KashPatel's #Senate confirmation hearing, Sen #DickDurbin, D-IL, asked, "Are you familiar with Mr. #StewPeters?"

    "Not off the top of my head," Patel responded.

    Peters disputed Patel's testimony.

    "Clearly, Kash Patel is lying," he said in response to Patel's Senate testimony. "He absolutely does know who I am."

    A spokesperson for the #FBI declined to comment.

  11. “Just last week in letters to the #Trump administration, I raised serious concerns about #transparency, #accountability, & the #humane treatment of detained individuals, particularly in light of repeated reports of #detainee #mistreatment & inadequate #MedicalCare,” US Sen #DickDurbin [D-IL], chair of the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, tells WIRED.
