She was an FBI agent. She started an investigation of the murder of Renee Good. Trump forced her to reclassify it as an ICE agent assault. She was then forced to resign. Her evidence confirms that a cover-up of the homicide has been undertaken, directed from the highest levels.

WaPo looking at Texas Republicans: don't worry your pretty little heads WaPo looking at Virginia Democrats: I HAVE SEEN HELL
Redistricting is an inherently political issue. Even if Texas’s move triggers an arms race, the trend will not put American democracy on life support. One silver lining of the gerrymander wars is that they might remind Americans how much Congress should matter.
The legislative branch has been increasingly passive as a policymaking body, serving primarily as a sword to investigate presidents or a shield to protect them. Time is better spent worrying about congressional fecklessness.
