Michael Ian Black had to write a satire column to point out that a sitting president suggested Iran take out Los Angeles and San Diego, which by his math are nearly 6 percent of US GDP. The president then doubled down. Satirists can't compete with that.

An IRS investigator is suing the agency — claiming officials illegally leaked his confidential personnel records to federal prosecutors to punish him for years of whistleblowing on the agency's failure to tackle tax dodging.

Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott have plenty to say when they're attacking Texans' rights, but suddenly have nothing to say when it's time to debate their opponents. Texans deserve answers, accountability, and leaders who aren't afraid to face the people they're asking to represent.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
