Here’s the Memorial Day open line. And an AP report from a chaotic session of the Texas legislature, where police were called to remove demonstrators from the legislative chambers where they were noisily protesting a new law to prevent “sanctuary” cities for immigrants.
Before it was over, a Republican representative had called ICE on protesters (hey, they were Latino, must all be illegals, right?) and threatened to shoot a Democratic legislator in the head. He admitted the threat; he claimed he felt his life was in danger.
