@alfranken Every Democrat, who goes in front of a camera should reiterate that they do not want to give health benefits to undocumented immigrants. They should say it over and over and over again.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
One of the most insulting aspects of the Republican assault on democracy is their assumption that Democrats are as naive and gullible as their own voters.
This is a dreadfully poor AI photo of Bitch McConnell and his Chinese spy wife, and it wouldn’t fool a child.
He’s dead.
I’m the grandson of Mexican immigrants. They came here, they worked hard, and they built a family.
My grandmother was a lawful permanent resident her whole life.
My grandfather was 50 when he became a citizen. They followed the rules, they earned their place, and they paid what they owed every single year.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was on that same road.
He lived in this country for nearly 35 years. He built homes in Houston. He raised three sons, all American citizens. His family says he had no criminal record and had started the process of getting a work permit. On the morning of July 7, he was driving his construction crew to a job site when an ICE officer shot him during a traffic stop. He died at the hospital.
Here is what the government itself now admits.
DHS confirmed the officers were looking for someone else. Salgado Araujo was not the target. His brother, who was in the van, was not the target either. They stopped him because he drove a white van and, in their words, resembled the man they wanted.
ICE says he tried to run over an officer with his vehicle. But there is no body camera footage, because DHS confirms none of the officers were wearing one. There is no dashcam footage. And the three men riding in the van with him say the ICE account is false, that the van never veered toward any agent and that officers fired almost immediately.
You don’t need a position on immigration to see the problem.
Getting enforcement right and enforcing the law are not opposites. Body cameras, judicial warrants, and independent review protect honest officers and innocent people alike. They are how you prove the official account when it’s true and correct it when it’s not.

If it turns out Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP are involved in a coverup to prevent a special election that is mandated by Kentucky law, people need to go to prison.
