#SundayShowdown

#Welker might be a RW stooge who tends to let #Republicans off the hook FAR too easily, but on those rare moments we ACTUALLY get some push-back, I'm not above offering kudos.

Sec of State "Lit'l #Marco" went on #MeetTheRepublicans to defend #PutinsPoodle's handling of the #Ukraine War negotiations and whether #DJChump will now (re)impose #sanctions on #Russia.

#Rubio defended #TheOrangeMenace (natch), but Welker threw Marco's own words from 2022 in his face re: #Putin:

"Is there anyone more vacuous or impotent than little #marco?" 🤮

#US. Secretary of State #Rubio:

"So we need to determine very quickly now whether or not this [peace agreement] is doable over the next few weeks. If it is, we're in. If it's not, then we have other priorities to focus on as well.

Because if it's not, then I think we're just going to move on from our perspective. The President feels very strongly about that."

😱 Family member condemns use of #ArmoredVehicle, #StunGrenades in #PhoenixArizona #ICEArrest

Daniel Gonzalez, February 3, 2025

"A family member is speaking out against an #ICE operation in northwest Phoenix on Sunday, calling it an unnecessary use of force that involved an armored vehicle, flash bang grenades and several dozen ICE agents and police dressed in military-style gear to arrest a single person, a 61-year-old man in poor health.

"Sunday's arrest in Phoenix took place amid President Donald Trump's nationwide immigration crackdown launched just over two weeks ago on Trump's first day in office.

"Videos of the ICE operation show an armored vehicle equipped with a long #BatteringRam rolling through a residential neighborhood in daylight and then pulling up in front of a home as unmarked vehicles with sirens sounding and lights flashing zoom in and block off streets.

"As the battering ram lowers there is a sudden flash and explosion in front of the home followed by the voice of an officer over a police loudspeaker who says, 'This is the police with a warrant. Exit the residence immediately with your hands empty and above your head.' A second flash and explosion can be heard as the officer speaks.

"The videos were shared by #Marco =Garcia, the son of the man arrested; immigrant activist #NatallyCruz, director of #PuenteArizona; and others on social media."

The Arizona Republic · Family member condemns use of armored vehicle, stun grenades in Phoenix ICE arrestBy , The Arizona Republic

Trump is expected to name Senator #Marco #Rubio of Florida as his #secretary #of #state,
as Mr. Trump moves rapidly to fill out his foreign policy and national security team.

Trump could still change his mind at the last minute, but appeared to have settled on Mr. Rubio, whom he also considered when choosing his running mate this year.

Mr. Rubio was elected to the Senate in 2010, and has staked out a position as a foreign policy hawk, taking hard lines on China and Iran in particular.

He initially found himself at odds with those Republicans who were more skeptical about interventions abroad,
but he has also echoed Mr. Trump more recently on issues like Russia’s war against Ukraine,
saying that the conflict has reached a stalemate and “needs to be brought to a conclusion.”
