ICE stopped a U.S. citizen, smashed her window, dragged her out, and threw her passport in the street. Agents wore masks and refused to identify.

ICE has no authority over U.S. citizens. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable force.

If the Democrats nominate @astroterry.bsky.social they will have a massively good shot at winning TX-9, a district they drew to be Republican. We have a shot to make Texas far more blue, and this is important. Vote Virts!
Honored to be endorsed by the @HoustonChron for Congressional District 9 in Texas- I will fight to level the playing field for the working people in our district!

CD9 is ground zero in the gerrymandering wars so let’s WIN this seat together!

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

With its latest layoffs, The Washington Post is “attempting to shrink its way into relevance — not with its audience but with its unfathomably wealthy, highly distracted owner,” our columnist Lydia Polgreen writes.
