A Texas lawyer gave some informal advice to undocumented immigrants. He later had unidentified agents from ICE show up at his door.
A tech oddity: His Wifi went down right before the officers' visit and came back soon after, meaning their visit wasn't recorded.

This is the message. You may like Pritzker, you may not, but whomever the new leaders of a reformed democratic party are, they will carry this message. This is the way to win. My two cents.
Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Last week, WaPo reported that 17 of 18 intelligence agencies said that Tren de Aragua had no substantive tie to Venezuela.
This effectively says one of two claims on which Trump based his Alien Enemies Act invocation is false. Now, Tulsi says down is up.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression.
Over 900K Oregon women whose name doesn't match their birth certificate could be ineligible to vote. 45.1% of Oregonians without a passport could have to pay over $236M just to register.
I didn't just vote 'No' – I intro'd a bill that makes it easier to vote.
