I'm begging Bluesky to figure out what sarcasm is.
No, Trump administration has used the US Constitution to wipe their behinds in every way possible. The reason the US Constitution still stands & remains the law of the land is because people from all walks of life in our dear USA come to its protection every single day.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Btw, a fun part of politics is people on Illinois subreddits keep referring to me as "Kat's husband, the millionaire owner of a big media company," because of my newspaper's 4.3 trillion daily readers and 500,000-person staff. I want to make this clear: I am no lowly millionaire. I have trillions.

Why Minneapolis? How are they choosing their targets?
404 Media also recently learned Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets based on addresses, and ICE is using it to find locations where lots of people it might detain could be based.

Hakeem Jeffries deserves to be unemployed.
DHS spending bill passed 220-207
7 Democrats voted in favor:
Henry Cuellar
Don Davis
Laura Gilles
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Jared Golden
Vicente Gonzalez
Tom Suozzi
Massie voted No
Andy Harris didn't vote
Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so
