Yes, a 44 year marriage with public displays of affection are shams but 14 year third marriages with where they barely hold hands are the paragons of love.

There's no reason Tanden should be confirmed tbh. She has nothing in her history that makes her particularly qualified for the position, and she is very clearly an abusive boss and mean spirited person who is not a professional. She physically attacked Faiz Shakur, she outed an anonymous sexual assault victim, and she has criticized and had others fired for their own twitter behavior. Hopefully she doesn't get nominated, and honestly, it is kind of pathetic that Bernie is going to support her nomination.

...Didn't he issue an order on Inauguration Day to do just that but it got overturned by a federal judge when Texas sued?

Since he got stopped on just telling ICE to freeze all deportations he's since gone about issuing orders to rein ICE in but they've gone partially rogue in terms of actually obeying. I mean, the clear solution is to *drumroll* abolish ICE but fwiw I do think Biden has been trying on this at least.

Fine, that is more accurate.

He abandoned a progressive campaign promise instead of fighting ICE and making it a major issue. It's not totally on him but he is in no way blameless.

Did he though? I don't think Biden ever promised to abolish ICE. He should have because it's the right thing to do but I'm pretty sure his promise was to stop the draconian policies Trump, Sessions, Miller, etc. put in and pursue immigration reform.

On literal Day 1 he issued an order to pause all deportations. Texas immediately sued to get that order thrown out and a federal judge did that. Since he apparently can't halt them that directly he instead started issuing orders to ICE to only focus on actual violent criminals. I'm not going to claim that more can't be done, I'm sure there's always more that can be done and it's fine and right to push for that to be done... but I really don't think this is Biden breaking a promise. He seems to be sticking to this one as best he can so far. His promise didn't go far enough IMO, but that's a separate issue.

Like, he is fighting ICE here with his orders to redefine their scope and what they should be doing. There have been articles written from anonymous ICE officials who were "distraught" that his orders would "abolish ICE without abolishing ICE." I don't think that's enough and he should actually abolish it but I don't think it's accurate to say he just walked away on this.

He promised to halt deportations during his first 100 days, and he has now gone back on it. I'm not trying to do any complicated gotcha here!

I've read that his updated guidelines where he backtracked on this contain less restrictions on certain deportations that are entirely unrelated to the court battle, and certainly in that case he receives negative points. The argument goes that he lost one fight in court, and then in response has ceded even more power to ICE. As you note, he could be doing more.

If ICE officials are sad about it then good, but I would need to know what specifically they are mad about since by all accounts Biden isn't meaningfully stopping them from doing their main job of detention and deportation.

Edit: I guess really what I'm upset about is that we just got through 4 years of watching Trump obstruct, strongarm, and dismantle whatever federal agencies he want through executive action and firing people with zero consequence, but now that Biden is in we have to play by the rules when we have an actual justifiable reason to do these things. I know that sounds bad but I think we all have to get over the fact that our government is completely dysfunctional and any attempts to correct it are going to come across as aggressive regardless.

Man...this guy sucks.

What is the point of the WFP even existing if they are exactly as shitty as the Democrats? Say what you will about third parties, at least the greens and psl and cpusa and things like that actually have a fundamentally different vision they can use to justify their existence. The WFP just sounds like a way to funnel left of center people back into the Democrats, like the DSA, which at least correctly does not function as it's own political party in that goal.

I love the idea of the second checks coming 2 months after the last one for $600 being the same $2000 check, when realistically by March they should be working on the NEXT round of relief, and not just continuing the last one.

Since Perdue announced this morning that he would in fact not be running again in 2022, I have seen multiple news sites talk about how he already "lost to Warnock" before (including the actual trending topic description on Twitter), and then you have AP who says he lost to..."Joe Ossof".

Man, 1/6 just completely eradicated that entire race from people's memories.
