Read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's investigation that prompted the congressional probe.
We found that agents had detained >170 Americans this year. More than 20 citizens said they were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their loved ones.

One of the most important cases before SCOTUS that could reshape how federal elections are funded was heard this morning.

I was raised by a narcissist. After years of therapy, I learned the only way to handle them is to cut off their ability to abuse you and lie their way out of taking responsibility. Take away their perceived power, and they realize they have no power.

Prosecutors have a constitutional and ethical obligation to turn over evidence that would support a person’s claim of innocence to their attorney.
Too often, they fail to do so even when life and death are at stake.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
