Authoritarian regime grabs electronic communication devices of prominent opposition member. Since it’s highly unlikely there is anything on her phone about immigration paperwork from 30 years ago we can assume this just became a fishing expedition.

I've been really excited about this one, it looks rad as hell. Not sure when I'll get the chance to play it but I intend to.

Hey executives, you can just set your asses on fire and roll around in public screaming in pain while a conveyor belt feeds millions of dollars into an industrial shredder. It would be more dignified.

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.
