The arrest of a judge in Wisconsin today is a clear intimidation tactic and a direct attack on the Constitution. Which Republicans will be brave enough to defend the Constitution over an unchecked executive branch running wild?

96.8% of the residents in Nancy Mace âs district are U.S. citizens. Why is she so eager to pass the SAVE Act and disenfranchise 69 million women who are US citizens but took their husbandâs name when they married? SAVE is anti-women and anti-American.#NancyMace

Yesterday the Trump administration admitted they deported a Maryland dad to El Salvador due to an "administrative error". That doesn't just speak to their raging incompetence â it shows their total disregard for due process and basic rights:
