Awe, this is heartbreaking. This is 5-year-old Liam Tadeo. ICE plans to deport him, tearing him away from his mother. He has spent the last few days detained with his father at the Dilley, TX detention center, a facility that has faced serious allegations of abuse, neglect, and terrible conditions.

The James Talarico campaign has asked a court to unseal transcripts of a pair of years-old depositions given by Ken Paxton as part of a messy securities fraud dispute.

"The right of Texans to see these depositions matters more than ever."

A NEW lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s accountant, Richard Kahn, & lawyer, Darren Indyke, has been filed in NY alleging they conspired with Epstein to facilitate his sex trafficking operation.

I explain the claims & why this kind of lawsuit can make more discovery public.

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still:
•Has his job
•Gets paid, and
•Gets free world-class healthcare

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets
all three as he needs it most.😐

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops.

But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents.

I’m heading to Danbury.

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center.

ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad.

Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

A Florida grand jury found the DeSantis administration “misappropriated” $10 million meant to provide health insurance for poor children. Part of a “sophisticated scheme to fund political activities,” the money was funneled through multiple organizations before reaching two PACs and the Florida GOP.

In a sane society we would just know who Jeffrey Epstein's accomplices were and they would have all come to justice. The endless spiral of the "Epstein Files" is a distraction from the fact that we could just listen to victims and lock up abusers at any time.

This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana?

He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in.

And that’s where they detained him.
