I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

You might ask, “Why would Christian Nationalists disrupt a Christian service to arrest Christians praying? Doesn’t that violate their religious freedom?”
Because these Proud Boys are also White Supremacists and the people praying aren’t white. They only believe in religious freedom for themselves.

Trump is demanding $10 billion because a contractor (not an IRS employee) leaked some of his data.
OK, then. It seems only fair that each of the 300,000,000+ Americans whose personal tax and Social Security data was leaked by DOGE receive the same renumeration.
That's $300,000,000,000,000+.
