Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived — this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law" Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"

Fucking impeachable.

Much like Leslie Nielsen's comedy that consistently, um, nailed it... the athletes in Winter Olympics need to do the same. (Also, RIP Leslie.)

Obligatory reply...

NBC kinda tanking today in the Winter Olympics broadcast.

NEW A Cambodian man, Lorth Sim, 49, has died in ICE custody in Indiana after being found unresponsive in his cell. His cause of death is reportedly under investigation.

The irony that these 2 Tennessee congressMEN would propose the death penalty for a woman that gets an abortion... yet they themselves are results of parents buying condoms at Dollar Tree. Bigly sad.

San Quentin, once California's most notorious prison, is now a national model for rehabilitation and second chances. And with innovative programs reducing violent crime in the Golden State, the California Model is proving that public safety and rehabilitation go hand-in-hand.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker writes a letter to President Trump after the Supreme Court revoked his tariffs as illegal: “On behalf of the people of Illinois, I demand a refund of $1,700 for every family in Illinois.”

Meanwhile I’m nervously texting my campaign manager if I can use campaign funds for travel to the state Dem convention and trying to find the cheapest public transit. There should be SEVERE penalties for misuse of campaign funds - it’s not your personal piggy bank. It’s a sacred trust.
