Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday.
She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption.
Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law.
ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad.
They must be held accountable.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague
