ICE agents are abducting people off the street—no badges, no warrants, just masks, lists and intimidation.
In Minnesota, a man dressed as a cop in tactical gear shot two Democratic lawmakers in their homes. He had a list too.
Don’t look away.
It's all political violence.

Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman and state Representative Melissa Hortman were shot at their homes in what authorities are calling a targeted attack.
This senseless act of violence not only threatens the lives of those involved but undermines the very foundation of our democracy.

Think for a second about what it means to cancel grants focused on combatting community gun violence, stopping opioid addiction, and providing support to crime victims and saying that they don’t align with your priorities.

It is not normal or acceptable that our kids are forced to continue living in fear like this. Our hearts are with Florida State University right now. This does not have to be our reality.

We go to college to continue our education and pursue our dreams, not to shelter in place during an active shooter situation. We deserve to be safe in our schools. www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

I briefly worked for Judge Boasberg over 20 years ago as a law student. In addition to being whip smart, serious, and fair, he also took me to the original Five Guys in VA, with peanut shells on the floor. His character and his position are, well, unimpeachable.

Trump’s Least Favorite Judge Has Friends in High Places
To President Trump, Judge James E. Boasberg is “a troublemaker” and a “Radical Left Lunatic.” But his record and biography, including a friendship with Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, say otherwise.

DOJ is repealing a rule that held accountable gun dealers who literally broke the law, yet the Attorney General of the United States says it targeted “law abiding gun owners.” What it did was shut down some of the most notorious dealers.

Right now, across the country, your Department of Justice is seeking to dismiss charges brought against Jan 6 rioters who were found to be in illegal possession of guns, sawed-off shotguns, grenades and even including, below, violent domestic abusers prohibited from having firerams.
The Justice Department is continuing a wave of efforts to free Jan. 6 defendants jailed for crimes unrelated to the attack on the Capitol.
Tongiht it's Ben Martin, who was convicted for possessing a firearm despite a criminal record for domestic violence.
