Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Agreed. A 14-point swing blue despite repubs spending 400% more on the race and a last minute tele rally with an all start gop cast.

PVI =/= margin—it’s measured relative to the party’s vote share. So R +16 there would mean the Republican would get 66% of the vote in a 50/50 environment. TN-7 was R +10 though, so this would suggest anything below R +7 or 8 is a likely Democratic pickup—a resulting margin not seen in decades

19 point shift is a lot
Ds don't seem to be getting what they need out of Nashville. But if the margin lands at R+3, that's a D+19 shift from 2024 -- we're not talking a wave, we're talking tsunami
again @gelliottmorris.com says behn still has a chance but damn 3 points in this district is 🦇💩

#Signalgate seems like a lifetime ago, but it was a mere 9 months ago that Hegseth screwed this up, endangering our service members by sharing classified military plans. He included the Editor of The Atlantic on a Signal Chat. @theatlantic.com Now he is credibly accused of multiple murders. Enough.

Breaking on MS NOW: The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims he did nothing wrong. It shows he "violated policy by using a non-approved device," a source who read the report says.
Hegseth failed to preserve records. The report says he put the operations and service people at risk.

One of the things prosecutors must show in a murder trial is the defendant's intent. Intent can be tricky to prove, so one day a lawyer or two will thank Pete Hegseth for proving it for them. He's smart that way.

Even with the inarguable threats posed by the Trump administration, many see the idea of leaving the U.S. as an admission of defeat.
