Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.

BREAKING: ICE Whistleblower Ryan Schwank just blew the whistle on Donald Trump’s ICE and their illegal actions.

“I watched ICE dismantle the training program… classes that teach the Constitution, our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers authority. ICE is teaching cadets to violate the Constitution and they were attempting to cloak it in secrecy by demanding that I lie about it.”

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @WhiteHouse: Please sent donald trump to every single swing state and swing district.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Nic Zateslo for Congress @TeamZforFlorida]

As we learn more about what happened in Tallahassee, I remain committed to closely engaging with residents to help support neighbors and businesses who’ve been impacted. Once again, @DrNealDunnFL2 stayed silent and proved he is unworthy of showing true leadership for us. 5/5

[Nic Zateslo for Congress @TeamZforFlorida]

These tactics show little regard for due process and they reflect a disturbing national trend of unconstitutional actions being committed by the Trump administration. 4/5

[Nic Zateslo for Congress @TeamZforFlorida]

We can all agree that criminals and gang members have no place on our streets, but when law-abiding neighbors, friends, and family are also being blindly detained without cause, it puts all of us at risk. 3/5

[Nic Zateslo for Congress @TeamZforFlorida]

These broad, indiscriminate actions by ICE are not only disrupting our businesses and daily life, but they’re instilling deep fear and anxiety across our local communities. 2/5

[Nic Zateslo for Congress @TeamZforFlorida]

I am deeply concerned and alarmed by the immigration enforcement actions carried out by ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies in Tallahassee’s CollegeTown area today. 1/5

If you live in Wisconsin – or have friends or family who do – there’s an important Supreme Court race happening right now. And there’s only one candidate ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites: Judge Susan Crawford.

We’ve all seen how important judges are in protecting our rights, so vote early — don’t wait until April 1st. Find your early vote location: https://t.co/oDaQcyU3QJ

Bro, you nearly killed all of them. Just resign.

"I think we ought to just call it what it is. It's racist." - Michael Moore, former U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, calls out Georgia legislators who want to remove elected prosecutors they don't like as if the voters who put them there don't matter.

The 2000 election and @algore may have been our last best chance to avert 1.5˚ C global warming.

On the left, as in life, fixation unviable or despondency about the imperfect can be unhealthy, counterproductive, and even catastrophic.

Have we learned from this failure?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Earth is likely to cross a critical global warming threshold within the next decade unless drastic changes are made, a major UN report said.

The left had 24 months to unify a majority to stop the election of Trump in 2016. Silicon Valley Bank is just another example of the economic risks we all face now, like inflation from Trump's mismanagement of outbreak and pandemic by comparison to Obama.

1/ Trump lawyer Christina Bobb tells DOJ she's not criminally liable because she was careful to include language in her certification that Trump was turning over all fed'l records in his possession that said she was basing it on info provided by others... https://t.co/Qf5TguUOCM

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

2/ It's not clear Bobb is cooperating but she did point at Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran who, she says, drafted the statement & told Bobb to sign it. & also Trump legal adviser Boris Epshteyn was "minimally involved in discussions about the records" but didn't draft the statement.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

3/ Just to be clear, I would not buying on the notion that she has managed to immunize herself from criminal liability by carefully wording the false statement she signed. There are legal doctrines like willful blindness & other conduct at issue.
