NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

Kansas gov. vetoes bill saying it'd ban people from visiting grandparents of opposite sex - LGBTQ Nation The bill has strict provisions about who is allowed in to visit shared dorm and nursing home rooms, she said in vetoing the measure.

Kansas GOP are so obsessed with criminalizing trans people that they switched a bail bond bill & made it a bathroom bill with zero hearings, then rushed an emergency vote before anyone could respond. The law is so sloppily written a brother can't visit his sister in her college dorm.

“A major purpose of the First Amendment is to protect the free discussion of governmental affairs, and the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the First Amendment protects the public’s right of access to documents filed in connection with criminal trials,” said Jameel Jaffer, executive director at the Knight Institute. “Given the significance of the Special Counsel’s report, and the role it played in earlier proceedings before Judge Cannon, there is really no question that both the common law and the First Amendment require the report’s release.”

The group has a pending appeal seeking to intervene and order the report's release.

ICYMI — The FBI director flew there on the taxpayer dime on a private jet to do this…
