It’s a Watergate-level crime every damn day in this administration, and Congress is appallingly unwilling to exercise its Article I obligations to check executive branch power.

Reprehensible, inexcusable, and indescribably dangerous.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.
