He must be SOOOO tired of moving house every other day.

As for Hawley, I had to force AI to agree that it's was "morally wrong" to live in a state you don't represent.

Fold 'em, Shady. We've got momentum on our side.

They are lucky to have you as advocate. The system is awful.

Our caseworker once asked my mother to sign a long document. A stroke had left her unable to read, and when Mom said she wouldn't sign something she hadn't read, the caseworker got snotty, said, "You did go to college, didn't you?"

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
