They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab.
She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab”
She was held for 24 hours.

🚨 Mike Johnson is quietly working to strip an NDAA provision that would expand IVF coverage for active-duty service members under TRICARE.
💬 The move could hit military families already facing higher infertility rates — and it breaks his public promises to increase access, not slash it.

The GOP argument collapses under its own facts: they admit they don’t know where the boats were going, that 25% of interdicted vessels have no drugs, and that many aren’t headed to the U.S. at all. Calling this an “imminent threat to America” is impossible to square with the evidence. #holdfast
Hal Lambert gets destroyed by Adam Mockler and Ashley Allison for claiming it's OK to blow up boats in the Caribbean because "Obama did it."

In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.
