If you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t need to hide your face.

If you’re simply “enforcing the law” you don’t need to shove home security cameras away.

People recording you wouldn’t be seen as a “threat”.

ICE doesn’t want to be recorded because they commit atrocities.

Remember when Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan touted the $50 billion in the Big BSBill for rural healthcare and how great it would be for Alaska? It’s turned into a way to coerce states into crazy MAHA policies of Dr. Oz and RFKJR.
NEW: Rural health is in crisis. Congress created a $50B rescue package and gave states just weeks to compete for a slice of it.

$3.75B hinges on whether states pass a series of Trump-approved policies, including restrictions on SNAP.

Whoa … this is really strange.

Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone.

Fix the Court, no amendment needed: Every circuit judge is now also a SCOTUS justice, and all current justices assigned to a circuit. SCOTUS cases heard by panels of 13, one judge from each circuit, selected randomly. Cert granted or denied by different random panels of 13.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
