NEW: Ex-Wisconsin Senator @RussFeingold voted against creating @DHSGov in 2002 and warned that a future president could use it as an unaccountable federal police force.

He says that's exactly where we are today with @realDonaldTrump's war on Portland.

“What I was warning about in 2001 was what would happen if we elected somebody who really didn't have any respect for our system of government, and that's where we are today," @RussFeingold, now president of @acslaw.

Bush-era DHS official @RosenzweigP said @RussFeingold's side may have been right: “There were many who thought that DHS should not be created because they worried it would be essentially an internal police force...but there’s a lot of justice to that now.” independent.co.uk/voices/secret-…
.@juliettekayyem said the Trump-era @DHSGov is a "weak link" w/o a Senate-confirmed leader: “The White House experienced...pushback from [Pentagon] after Lafayette Square, but you won’t get that at DHS because its leadership is totally beholden to Trump.”independent.co.uk/voices/secret-…

This is remarkably disturbing.

At this moment, @realDonaldTrump is basically proclaiming that he is sending federal law enforcement into cities with mayors who support #BlackLivesMatter.
.@realDonaldTrump is using dead Black children as mascots for his push to deploy anonymous, unaccountable federal paramilitaries to cities against the wishes of (Democratic, frequently Black) local elected officials — and the people who vote for them.
"Our goal is to help save lives," AG Barr says.

This is a lie.

His goal is to help @realDonaldTrump stay in power. That's it.

NEW: @JoeBiden advisers won't say if he supports a bipartisan commission to investigate Trump-era crimes & abuses of power, but some historians and legal experts agree one is needed as Democratic activists caution against merely "turning the page" on Trump independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
“Not having a real, transparent investigation of the abuses that Trump and his cronies have committed...would tell future presidents... that it doesn’t matter how bad they let things get because the next president will just drop it," said one activist. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
“After World War Two, we made Germany go through de-Nazification. We need to put our entire government through ‘de-Trumpification’ and punish every single person who followed Stephen Miller’s illegal orders,” said another.

.@PressSec now bashing NAFTA, which is largely the same FTA as the USMCA.
Asked why @realDonaldTrump hasn't taken questions in two weeks, @PressSec repeats the lie that @realDonaldTrump is the "most accessible president" and suggests we'll hear from him "soon"
