They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone.

one thing about every republican politician is that every last one of them is loyal to the party and disloyal to the republic. bill cassidy would knowingly murder american children to save the party. in fact, he did.
Also, if he's getting shivved by Trump anyway, why not return the favor and become one of the small group of Senators who can stop this nonsense.
Cassidy sentenced countless children to death, knowingly, by confirming RFK
and Trump stabs him in the back anyway
I hope it eats at him every miserable day of the rest of his life

Straight up malpractice that no one has introduced an impeachment article against Trump for Minnesota. There should be multiple ones because he’s committed multiple offenses.

I think the last 24 hours in VA are a stronger indication of what the Democratic Party platform will be in 2026 and going forward than the feeble quaverings of Chuck Schumer.
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
These will all go to 2026 referendums.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

People in Minneapolis don't like it when secret police come into their city to kill and brutalize them, people in rural areas think it's great. Somehow, this is a problem that Minneapolis is supposed to make amends for.
As usual, the story here isn't about "divides" or cosmopolitan elites looking down on rural populations. It is about radicalization. This woman wants violent vengeance for things that did not happen.
