ICE did it again - released a detainee far from her home without notifying her family. Three days after having an ankle monitor put on by ICE, 31 year old Daphy Michel was found unresponsive at a bus station. She died later that day. Daphy was seeking asylum in the US. Her brother lives in the US and has TPS status. She had a hearing scheduled for April on her immigration case. Her brother was waiting to hear when she would be released so he could bring her home. ICE hasn’t answered questions from Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 about when Daphy arrived at the ERO Pittsburgh office, when she received the ankle monitor, how long she was in custody, and where & when she was released.

For at least 5 years @SenMullin has told stories that most laymen would assume meant he served in foreign battle: “… been in those situations before overseas … another side of my bio.” He never served. Amazing work by @lizcgoodwin @marianne_levine washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…

Katie Britt took her husband’s last name. She would need extra documentation to vote since her birth certificate wouldn’t say “Katie Britt” on it.

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division.

Legal appeals are normal. What's actually insane is that when someone wins their case, and an immigration judge grants asylum, the government can still arrest the asylee, detain them, and appeal the decision. It's like if the government got to retry a case after an acquittal.

Where’s the lie?

23 years ago tonight, in an Oval Office address, George W. Bush announced the start of the Iraq War. 4,492 American service members were killed in the years that followed. 32,292 were wounded. At least 200,000 Iraqi civilians died. The humanitarian impact was immense. America wasted 9 years and 3 trillion dollars on a war that never should have happened—a war predicated on a lie, pushed by warmongering neocon politicians, and paid for by everyday people. Imagine what that $3 trillion could have bought here at home. Imagine the decade we could have spent focusing on America, our people, our place in the world. Imagine the lives our service members, stolen from us, would have lived. But instead, the president took us to war. Yet another costly quagmire in the Middle East. I voted against the Iraq War. I knew the White House would lie to Members of Congress and voters alike to manufacture the pretext for a conflict—and they did. Now, Iran is shaping up to be Iraq 2.0—new lies, new bloodthirsty politicians, still paid for by American families. Yesterday, we learned that Trump wants another $200 billion for his war. That's after Congress already gave the Pentagon more money than it even asked for in the budget. Enough is enough. It is not too late to learn from the past. Stop this madness. Bring our troops home. End this war.

This doormat Congress is being run by eunuch Speaker Trump’s Little Johnson (R-LA). Folks we have to vote as many of these Republican fools out of office as we can come November. This Congress is anti-democratic and cedes too much power to the Executive.🗳️

When you need Japan's help probably not the greatest time to be making Pearl Harbor jokes

I’m so disappointed in the Dems who are lining up behind Graham. To compromise your morals for this guy?? I guess they didn’t have any to begin with 🤷🏾‍♂️

@CatherineM0yim That's true.

Warren has never been a girls’ girl.

@KaivanShroff @magi_jay No claim could make it credible because blaming rape victims is never a credible argument to make, but aren’t our thoughts all going to “was he accused of rape?” He was making the classic argument “She asked for it.” Also makes me wonder about what he did & saw as a bartender.

@SleetMd @magi_jay And you know there's more.

@magi_jay I'm still trying to remember the apology. This is too much.

I cared WAY more about the Nazi tattoo than I did about the rape comments until Platner started *obviously lying* about the rape comments, btw. That's not to say I now care about the Nazi tattoo less. Now I care about both.

@maxkatz515 And it turns out Warren is only 18 months younger than Mills!

@maxkatz515 (except Bernie) (will also make an exception for anyone else i happen to personally like)

@NotHoodlum Jesus that's terrifying.

Why are the Huckabeasts friends with so many pedophiles? BTW: The one with the arrow is David Huckabeast, who was fired from the Boy Scouts for killing a stray dog.

@magi_jay "Don't judge me" Dude, a vote is literally passing judgment. And you sir, are disqualified. + he looks like a Brit cosplaying as an American 😆

@magi_jay "I thought his nazi tattoo was bad, but then I read his rape apologist comments" The people defending this guy need severely limited screentime.

@magi_jay In the act of choosing a candidate, by default that means the voters should be judging them. Asking not to be judged is the refuge of the undeserving. I plan on being far more discerning in the future than I ever have been in the past. He ain't it for so many reasons.

@magi_jay Total MAGA. Add slurring gays in 2019. #toggle-gdpr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">advocate.com/politics/graha…
