Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Yeah, Schmitt is lucky there’s a Speech or Debate Clause. This is inexcusable. Klobuchar focused on the “dirtbag” claim in Schmitt’s conclusion, but Schmitt also said to Smith, “I think you’ve already perjured yourself.”

There’s no way in hell Trump should be allowed to slap his name on anything else, let alone Ford’s Theatre. But I have to admit, there’s something darkly hilarious about him adding his name to the place where an American president was assassinated. The irony practically writes itself.

The polls are so bad that a pro-ICE Kansas Republican is now preemptively begging ICE to not shoot one of his constituents now that they're active in his state
When ICE operates in Kansas, it needs to coordinate with our local law enforcement. Our sheriffs and police know these communities better than anyone, and working together keeps officers and residents safe.
I'm closely following what's happening in SW Kansas and have been in direct contact with Secretary Mullin and local law enforcement as ICE executes warrants in order to keep Kansans safe.
