Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?

Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.

‼️‼️‼️‼️ Per reporters on scene, Leigh Wambsganss has shut down her party. She hasn't conceded to Taylor Rehmet yet, but apparently told supporters that “we’ll be back in November.”
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.

This is a Trump +18 seat held by a republican since the Carter administration. It was redistricted but this is still a massive surprise.
Is anyone deep on this because this looks like a CRAZY shift and I don't think this was one of the sacrificial lambs, especially given the money.

I think it’s a legitimate challenge that it’s hard to get people to take fascism seriously in its early stages. We all got called hysterical alarmists and then exactly what we said would happen did.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.
