You know what *did* pass in Florida by 62%? A referendum on a constitutional amendment in 2008 that defines marriage as only between a man and a woman. (SCOTUS ruled otherwise in 2015.) So, first cousins are cool, but same-gender soulmates are frowned upon. #RepublicanFamilyValues

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

1/ICE, contrary to longstanding 4th Amendment jurisprudence, now says it can enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant; an administrative warrant suffices. That's a form signed by a gov't employee who can be fired if they displease the president. It’s not difficult to see the problem here.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

The Trump DOJ isn't meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell to facilitate letting Americans know more about Jeffrey Epstein. Just the opposite. It is meeting with her to tamper with her testimony or, better yet, shut her up entirely, possibly with the offer of a pardon or reduced sentence.
