ICE agent shot a man in the torso during a traffic stop in North Austin today. He's in serious but stable condition. Austin PD wasn't involved; the mayor wants local police on the investigation for third-party eyes. ICE has been out of control since they started this B.S.

Harry Truman once said, “Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.” He was right then, and Republicans are proving him right today. Watch.

The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.

The Moscow supermarket Tucker Carlson gushed over during his infamous visit to Russia was an Auchan. Putin has now placed Auchan’s Russian assets under his control. I wonder if Tucker still thinks Russia is the paradise he sold us. apnews.com/article/russ...
