ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.
Good.
Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.
She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.
It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."
