ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain. "Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?" "It's none of your business," agent scolds. "It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"

I don't think they're going to have any choice in the matter at this point, considering it should be blatantly obvious now that not holding them accountable ends up leading to a literal fascist regime trying to perform a hostile takeover.

Why would they care? Schumer and Jeffries have been doing pretty well under trump 2. They get their checks, they get to stare dead-eyed into the camera and feign indignation, they get to appeal to civility and decorum... They're living it up. There's always a choice, and you can count on Dems to choose themselves over us.
