The 22 immigrants who died in the nation's sprawling network of detention centers over the past two years came to the United States from countries as far-flung as Vietnam, and as close as Mexico. Some had been longtime legal residents, arriving as refugees or students. Others were recent asylum seekers. Many were young — half were not yet 45 years old.

Gentlewomen, start your engines

Pelosi: Impeachment is 'divisive,' but colleague's coarse language is no worse than Trump's
In an MSNBC town hall, the newly elected House speaker said she has a "generational reaction" to the profane language a fellow Democrat used to describe the president.


Trump has absolutely no idea what’s coming. He understands that DC is about to change, but he’s never experienced — and he’s vastly  unprepared for — real oversight.

Welcome, Madam Speaker. - Angry WH Staffer tweet
