Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.

She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.

Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.

Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

Presidential prospect? L-to-the-fucking-MAO
With a near-unanimous vote in Congress to pass his bill requiring the release of Jeffrey Epstein files, Rep. Ro Khanna can claim a victory that no other Democratic presidential prospect has achieved: cracking the MAGA coalition.

I cannot believe I have to say this, but under no circumstances do you need to misrepresent, excuse or downplay the crimes of the Nazis in order to dunk on ICE.
People need to stop comparing ICE to the Gestapo. At least the Gestapo accepted it when you showed them your papers.

Telling voters they can’t have affordable healthcare is certainly a choice
Markwayne Mullin: "Affordable healthcare doesn't work. The Democrats had a community organizer in President Obama that tried to sell us a bill of goods. It isn't working. So let's let a business guy that actually knows business help negotiate a healthcare for the American people."

Actually hilarious.
Some additional context: Of the 19 GOP senators who voted to adjourn today rather than rush a new congressional map, 10 aren't up until 2028 (so they're more shielded from the threat of Trump-backed primaries). And 2 more, whose seat is up in 2026, had already said they're retiring.
Indiana's Senate voted today to adjourn by a vote of 29 to 19, with 19 Republicans joining the chamber's 10 Democrats to defy the governor's wish that the state re-gerrymander asap.

Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.

It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.
