NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Leader Jeffries: "There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump.
"We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the U.S. Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts."

Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.
He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.
