pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

A constituent back home in Manassas just told me ICE is present in the Williamson Blvd area near Sudley Manor Drive and 234 by the Stonington community. Please be careful, spread the word, ***take care of each other*** and know your rights!

The President of the United States actually, literally hates us. He has said so. He takes pleasure in our misery and he's proud of that.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

A source has confirmed to me that Italian international Lucia Di Guglielmo will be headed to the #NWSL with a landing spot likely with the Washington Spirit.
Of note, Di Guglielmo is represented by Assist Women, the same agency that reps Sofia Cantore and Lisa Boattin.

Why is WAPO writing up anyone’s speculation about who the suspect might be?
I get that Laura’s statements and actions are at times newsworthy given her influence on Trump, but no one’s speculation — outside of a government official’s — should be written up this way.
