…and no one knows anything about any of these people passing thru their charge — not the loss of due process, not the violation of Constitutional rights, not the terrors of families still trying to locate their loved ones. That’s the only way I can fathom stomaching authoritarian work. (2/2)

Do you ever think about the banality of evil? How, a handful of officers were just doing their jobs to detain someone, an officer was doing their job keeping them in a holding cell, an officer was just doing their job following orders to transport some people to some place… (1/2)

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Crockett: "If we are gonna talk about efficiency, let's talk about the fact that as of March 30, Trump's golfing has cost us approximately $26 million. And the last time I checked, we're not getting anything in return for that ... he decided he was going to golf instead of receiving four heroes."

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.
