    The key: "Even a best-case scenario would probably only leave... the ability to challenge the most egregious gerrymanders where partisan intent is as openly on display as it was in these cases."

    DOJ has, in a rare admission, acknowledged errors and deficiencies in a controversial report that implied a link between terrorism in the U.S. and immigration, but — for the second time — officials have declined to retract or correct the document.

    A Colorado man, 41, shot a woman and mother of four after a heated argument over alcohol. She wasn't dead, so the man's 12-year-old son then shot her repeatedly and killed her. Witnesses heard the father tell his son that he'd "earned his man card."

    Praise for Brazil's Bolsonaro from Dave Rubin, Nikki Haley, etc show how shallow and reactionary the US right has become. Instead of believing in things, like freedom, they're united by the people they dislike. Bolsonaro says he hates the same people, so they like him. (THREAD)

    I believe the president is saying more than half of Americans are drug smugglers, human traffickers and criminals.

    Reupping this. We do not have a border crisis. We have a big challenge in asylum processing that is exacerbated by the current administration’s decisions, including metering asylum seekers, not hiring more immigration judges, & not allowing judges to administratively close cases

    While Ed Sec. Betsy DeVos continues to coddle for-profit colleges, students are being buried in debt and taxpayers end up holding the bag. Thanks to Madigan for fighting for students.

    Truth: No immigrants have been arrested at the border in recent years on terrorism related charges. Thanks to and for helping me sort this out.

    Why do we keep acting shocked by leaders choosing power over Christlike values? Where have we been these last few years? There’s nothing on earth more intoxicating than power. Nothing hard to understand here. The shocking part will be if greater & greater numbers of us resist it.

    Tokyo could drown in tech dollars but teachers would continue living in cheap housing because Tokyo builds housing. If you stop building housing, you’re deciding someone doesn’t get to live there; market just tells you their names.

    By one estimate, 4 million children are the victims of sexual abuse or harassment by their teachers every year. Imagine if those abusive teachers had access to guns.

    It’s the teachers who want to participate in this that worry me, Martha. Police hit moving targets 30% of the time. Not to mention guns stored negligently, or used as discipline (Google it; both have happened). If a child’s life is lost for any of these reasons, would you object?

    I’m thrilled to join and next week in Washington to introduce a bipartisan universal background checks bill. Americans have spoken. It’s time to address our gun violence epidemic, and this new Congress will not sit silent.

    A member of our well regulated militia (and armed security guard) is drunk at 11:00 AM and asks a friend to drive him to work. He shoots the friend in the abdomen while getting his gun from the backseat of the car.

    Trump swore so frequently during today’s immigration meeting that he ended up apologizing to Pelosi. He griped about impeachment. And he called the shutdown a “strike,” drawing puzzlement in the room.
