Justice Kavanaugh says U.S. citizens shouldn’t worry about race-based immigration stops b/c officers “promptly let the individual go.”

But @propublica.org found more than 170 U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents. Some "have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased & shot by immigration agents."

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Karoline Leavitt should resign.

They try to make us hate each other to distract from the fact that they're robbing us all blind.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

C-SPAN: Mike Johnson says Republicans “have always stood with Capitol police and we’ve shown that.”

Republicans forfeited their right to ever say the back the blue, when they betrayed the Capitol police officers by voting against a Jan. 6th investigation.

The folks at Fox News continue to promote the false narrative that Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard troops BEFORE the January 6th riots. His then Acting Sec. of Defense testified under oath that Trump made no such request. I included his testimony. RECEIPTS!

Yes but the macro story that needs to be 24/7 chyron blare on all nominally independent press is that the legislature of the United States has effectively abdicated entirely. “Mr. speaker/Senator Thune, why do you not demand enforcement of the laws of the United States?”
