This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

13 justices on SCOTUS would be one per circuit, which was actually the rationale used to bring it up to 9 the last time the number was increased. It makes sense.

This is evidence. The ex-wife of ICE officer David Brouillette, who killed Joan Sebastian, says he urged her to stay quiet: “Don’t mention any of the abuse or troubles that we had in our marriage. Right now it’s important to make sure that I look like I have a good character.”

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

I wish it were more broadly understood that Trump constantly and explicitly holds up his naked corruption *as a badge of honor* that his supporters are supposed to thrill to (and see benefit for themselves in). He thinks corruption is the highest form of winning.

If you live in a State with an upcoming primary - Oregon's is 5/19 - and you want to mail it in, be sure to mail it by 5/12 or it may not get postmarked in time. USPS changed their policy on postmarks last December. You can also ask the post office to postmark them manually if you go in.

It would have cost $38 billion to extend ACA subsidies for one year, and the Dems would have agreed to the funding bill to reopen the government. The GOP refused. Trump sent $40 million to Argentina. It's not the money. They'd rather starve people than fund healthcare.
