Did you know the first presidential veto was about representation? In 1792, George Washington vetoed an apportionment bill he believed bent the rules for dividing House seats. Washington's first veto was standing up for the principle that representation should not be based on partisan advantage.

Weaponizing federal law enforcement against perceived political opponents is a violation of our most fundamental constitutional freedoms. Aiming it at a civil rights organization that took on the Klan and was firebombed for it in 1983 is especially perverse.
