Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

As Sargent says, the upshot of Trump calling for Dems to be executed/investigated for reminding the military of their oath is it centers a conversation about Trump giving illegal orders — which was those Dems’ goal all along.

Dale Nally's recall petitioner says he doesn't listen to constituents and cites his concerns over the notwithstanding clause.
Nally responds by saying the petitioner doesn't vote and works as a proxy for a group weaponizing the recall act and the petition has no merit.
