"While it's very difficult for states to prosecute federal officers, it isn’t impossible. Now, ICE agent Christian Castro, who shot a Venezuelan immigrant through a door & then spun a yarn about how he was in fear for his life, is going to get a chance to find out just how far his luck will stretch"

The world is shocked by how the Gaza flotilla activists were treated, as if this were something new. But if they feel confident enough to do this in front of cameras, imagine what Palestinians endure when nobody is watching.

You heard Jasmine Crockett endorsed Becerra for governor. I asked what advice she’d give a future Gov Becerra (inheriting Prop 50) as gerrymandering spreads across the South and shows no signs of stopping after 2026. Her answer was bigger than just what a governor can do. We all can help.
