Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

Just now on MSNBC: a great segment by @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the Bucks County sheriff candidate who ran against ICE’s 287g program.
Very proud our attention to how local elections matter to ICE policy at @boltsmag.org is helping put these local stakes in the national discourse. They matter.
