He executed her. Shot her in the head through the driver's side window from a foot or two away as she tried to drive away.
Very legally significant.

I am going to avoid the gory details in these texts.

NYT also reporting: "Two of the gunshot wounds were not immediately life-threatening, the autopsy found." It appears to be bullet that appeared to go through the left-side window that was.

Look, I’m not the world’s best pollster, but if you can’t stand up against kidnapping children to use as bait, you don’t belong in professional politics.

If you don’t understand the rage, if you tell people to do anything other than protect their children, you don’t deserve public office.

This is who federal agents are ripping out of their communities and shipping across the country. This is the danger we're being protected from.

Taibbi claims MLK would not support "guilt because of racial identity" or "bringing religion into it".

Interesting scoop from Anna Giaritelli, who has good sources inside DHS. It suggests Noem and Lewandowski (seemingly still serving as a Special Government Employee despite having timed out months ago) are trying to push out the CBP Commissioner (former Border Patrol) because he's not harsh *enough.*

People too often treat Trump voters like babies. People voted for him out of ignorance, racism, sexism, or greed, and if it’s ignorance, they need to reflect on how to do better next time and ensure there will be one.

This is the part of the cycle where you move people on the issues, not talk only about the issues that are already good for you.
People are waving around 50/50 polling on abolish ICE and in the same poll Trump’s is like 30 points under water on affordability. It’s not at all crazy for professional politicians to think there’s a bigger advantage in talking about the latter!

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.

ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.

This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.
