Opinion | How many House seats will the Democrats win? The polls may already know.
In an era without ticket-splitting, the generic ballot has proven remarkably predictive.

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

In this instance Tillis is worse than Collins or Cassidy, because he helped create this fiction that Blanche is doing things that make him palatable. Collins and Cassidy either just go along or try and get something out of it. Tillis is actively helping.

ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.
