Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

Defending Masked Immigration Agents Is a Losing Battle California passed a pair of laws that would prohibit immigration agents from wearing masks or hiding their identities while detaining people they suspect of being undocumented immigrants. It didn’t take long for the Trump administration to not only sue, but to refuse to comply.

Who stole the Autopen?

How embarrassing.

Administration sources were all-in on this Russian wishlist until it was revealed that it was an *actual* Russian wishlist and not just the worst possible peace plan for Ukraine.

Really not tracking the Ryan Lizza stuff (accidentally saw that gross "cheeks" comment).
