ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention.

ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.

Another "run of the mill" corruption story - relevant to today's hearing on Trump's Attorney General nominee:

It's the story of Grab A Gun, a company that put Don Jr. on its board and (VOILA!) got DOJ to change gun regulations to give it a corrupt head start in the market.

Freedom 250 was only meant to star Trump and line his pockets. Congress authorized “America 250” celebrations— not this abomination. It should fail. Goodness knows it’s put a damper on the national mood to celebrate. 😢
