As long as the HHS Sec'y is out there trying to scaremonger motherfucking Tylenol, I don't want to hear one more WORD about any grumpy nonsense Katie Porter might be up to. We can deal with that another time.

Ice agent points of weapon at a woman in a neighborhood in Chicago who is just documenting them… No, he doesn’t look nuts and hyper or anything. Does he? He doesn’t look like he could just pop off at any moment for no reason, or anything.
