Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public.

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis.

That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

I know some have been a little unnerved at the aggressive following and noisemaking tactics of the observers. What they don’t realize is that it’s necessitated by what ICE is doing. You have seconds and you need as many eyes on them as possible, and as many people trying to get key info as possible.

A free press cannot function if the government is able to exercise veto power over critical reporting simply by refusing to engage.

The public has the right to question how CBS will ensure the independence and integrity of its journalism going forward.

Andrew Weissman: A responsible DOJ would have had a press conference, and they would have talked through the measures they took. You know that there is a problem when they do this through a short-form announcement on Fox News that doesn't address any of our questions

AOC: Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want you to believe that this is who we are as a country. And we are here to say that it is not. We are a country that has fought and defeated the confederacy. That has defeated a history of civil rights violations, of secret police, of fascism.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.

A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.

The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.
