Tonight, we’re diving into the Trump administration’s escalating attacks on the First Amendment, including efforts to chill journalism and punish reporters covering public protests, a troubling trend that goes far beyond partisan politics. Then we pivot to the ongoing ICE crisis, following the nationwide fallout from the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, which has sparked widespread protests and calls for accountability. Joining Don to break it all down is Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, bringing sharp insight into both the constitutional crisis and the human cost of federal enforcement policies. Tune in for a conversation you won't want to miss! 🍋

So far she wont/ hasn't said "Abolish ICE". Its been "reform" or "claw back". Waiting for it.

That is more than a little infuriating. She’s one of the politicians that I would have assumed was on board with nuking a clearly out of control domestic paramilitary organization.

Yeah. The people really have almost no allies in congress right now.
