@bennet.senate.gov — is this true? As a constituent, I’m asking you to vote NO on the CR. Giving Republicans the talking point of bipartisanship while cutting billions from Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires isn’t a Colorado value.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant no matter what the ICE officer says.
