Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
Authoritarianism in plain sight.
Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak.
She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.

Justice Sotomayor called out the SCOTUS majority today for "reward[ing]" the Trump's administration's "noncompliance" with court orders today — and tied SCOTUS to the Trump administration for how their actions threaten the rule of law.
From my report at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-s...
From my report at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-s...
![In dissent, Sotomayor detailed the multiple timed Murphy had to clarify his injunction due to Trump administration actions - including one move that led Murphy to issue a ruling that the administration had violated the preliminary injunction when it tried to send people to South Sudan, a nation where the Trump administration removed all but essential personnel earlier this year.
"For centuries, courts have 'close[d] the doors' of equity to those 'tainted with inequitableness or bad faith relative to the matter in which [they] see[k] relief," Sotomayor wrote, quoting from other cases that amount to a rule that courts don't grant relief like a stay if the party seeking the relief has been behaving badly.
She continued to note that "the Government had a duty to obey the[ district court's orders] until they were "reversed by orderly and proper proceedings," calling the principle "a bedrock of the rule of law" and asserting that the Trump administration's
"misconduct threatens it to its core."
Linking the Supreme Court's majority to the Trump administration's misconduct,
Sotomayor then wrote:
So too does this Court's decision to grant the Government equitable relief. This is not the first time the Court closes its eyes to noncompliance, nor, I fear, will it be the last. See Trump v. J. G. G., 604 U. S. _
- (2025) (per curiam). Yet
each time this Court rewards noncompliance with discretionary relief, it further erodes respect for courts and for the rule of law.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiarkgltvljr5bo3wxjjyl2cqtdcdvehjr2mspccnxyxbuzxvzuyaq@jpeg)

“It’s my policy that I am not subject to federal law” is a hell of a position to take
To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws.
Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

You might think "law enforcement agencies" would be able to, you know, follow the clear letter of the law but you would be mistaken.
The Department of Homeland Security has imposed new limits on congressional visits, saying its offices are not subject to an existing law that allows members of Congress to make unannounced oversight visits to ICE facilities that detain migrants.
