The Trump administration desperately wants the public to just tune out the shooting death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE agents in Houston. 
But this roaming army of masked, armed men chasing people down and killing them is tied directly into the administration's criminality across the board. 
Trump may pardon Stephen Miller, but he should be on trial in state court in 2029. 
Meanwhile, McConnell's choice to not convict on impeachment means Donald Trump is his legacy. 
Plus: Republicans showed with the housing bill that they could find a backbone, Platner is not who he said he was, Dems should talk about race more, some way too early Magnolia Bowl talk, Vance/Trump 2028, and which potential Democratic nominees would Stuart work for in a heartbeat?
