Aftyn is focused on issues Tennesseans care about. Matt van Epps will just be a rubber stamp for Trump.

Perfect illustration of why MAGA is failing. It’s never been about helping the public, only about protecting Trump and his inner circle. Time to organize for 2026 and build something real for the people!

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.
Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

ICE officers reportedly shot a 25-year-old named Carlos Jimenez.
He was shot after getting out of his car to tell the agents, who had pulled over a vehicle, that children would soon be gathering in that spot for the school bus.
